Hello from the land of the Penn Dutch!

I most certainly am not Pennsylvanian, but I have been a transplant for the past two years. I'm a little nervous because I've been a part of online communities in the past and they've had a tendency to consume me and seeing how everyone here is so supportive and wonderful... well, I've got a feelin' if you know what I mean. So anyway, I'm a mixed media artist and am currently studying alternative therapies. I've been studying belly dance for three years, hip hop/liquid pop for five and skill/fire toys (poi, hoop, fans and double staves) for about two. Pole dancing became a love of mine when I considered the possibility of making extra money dancing without having to be a "super dirty" dancer (hey, everybody has their limits, right?) so after a year and a half of pondering, studying and dreaming I finally bought a pole from Veena and here I am! So pleased to meet you all! ☀️
