September 30th, 2011 Aerial Amy I was looking through a blog I kept from back in 2008 where I talked a bit about the pole classes I was taking.

Personal Style: Part I
August 31st, 2011 Aerial Amy Not too long ago, I noticed a lot of pole dancers that I know (directly or through online networks) were expressing frustration and difficulty in carving out a niche for their own personal style.

Poling for YOU

And maybe, after reading that little list, you’re thinking: “So?” or, maybe, you’re thinking, “Yeah, and that’s too bad.” What if winning ultimately had nothing to [...]

May 17th, 2011 Aerial Amy My name is Amy. Nice to meet you! Once upon a time, I started a pole dancing blog. I didn’t know who would read it, or if anyone even would. All I knew was that after 4 years of pole dancing, I had a lot of thoughts to get out, and I was hoping that [...]
