Angela is a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, and Pole instructor. Her passion for pole dancing started in 2016: and it was love at first sight and has kept growing since then. Her love for this discipline has led her away from the UK; in 2019, she moved for a year to Sydney, Australia, where she had the opportunity to train with prominent artists and explore different styles. There, she understood her heart belonged to choreos, dancing in high heels and spinning in the air. Her qualifications include Personal Trainer Lv 2&3 Premier Global NASM, Classique Certification Pole Dance Academy Sydney, Australia, Xpert Pole Lv 1&2, Pole Strength & Conditioning Spin City.
