Anyone else in France?

Hallo, Bonjour!   I'm so happy to be a member of Studio Veena! And happy to be able to take lessons again, since  pole fitness is not really considered chic yet in the rural part of France where I live!   Are any of you from France? Or from South Africa, maybe? (my real home) Or from another small-town area where your colleagues and neighbours are convinced that "Pole Fitness"is a term you invented to cover up your moonlighting as a stripper? 😲
