Susan Peach - Your Pole Pal

Thanks to Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, and other high-profile celebrities who have experienced the "power of the pole," the sport has evolved rapidly over the past few years.

No longer associated only with strip clubs, pole dancing is now recognized as a sport in its own right...and a pretty amazing workout!

In fact, it's become a very popular way to get in top shape. The truth is, a dance pole is a vertical home gym if you know how to use it.

Although I'm now retired from teaching dance, fitness, and pole classes, I still love keeping up with the amazing transformations happening in the pole fitness arena.

There are plenty of awesome dancers, teachers, products, ideas and just so much fun stuff going on, and I want to help YOU get involved.

That's why I decided to take my 30+ years dance and teaching experience and combine it with my passions for research, networking and website development, to transform myself into...
