With over 10 years of creative movement experience – from aerial silks to lollipop lyra to pole, Chrissy is obsessed with spreading her love for any and all things dance. She began her journey with poor body image, and movement arts helped her transform that relationship. Pole dance allowed her to love her body not for what it looks like, but for what it can do. She is excited to build a community that values and supports the development of inner and outer strength, personal growth, body respect, and creativity. She is known for her fierce power moves, slinky low flow, and for encouraging her students to not just get stronger, but to become more in tune with their bodies.
