Co-Owner and Certified Instructor of Tiger Lily Vertical Fitness & Dance in Geneva, IL About Me: I first discovered pole dancing after having my second child. I was a stay at home mom with two children under 2. I was in need of an activity that in the short period of ‘me’ time I was able to get could 1) get me out of the house and give me a much needed mental break, 2) was able to get me back in shape without being boring, feeling torturous and much like a chore, and 3) be fun and exciting and make me feel ‘alive’ again. Not that having a family and two wonderful children made me not feel alive, but as some of you can relate, it gets to be monotonous and sometimes we just need a creative outlet to express ourselves with. Pole dancing was the answer for me! I started taking classes and became addicted, in a great way! Since childhood, I have always been drawn to activities that required me to be physically active like dance and gymnastics. So, pole dancing, which is a creative combination of the two, came naturally to me. Before long I was in the best shape of my life, making wonderful friends and coming home with a new found passion and vitality that made me an even better mother and wife. This discovery gave me, along with my wonderful friend Caroline, the passion and the drive to create Tiger Lily Vertical Fitness & Dance! It truly is such a passion of ours that we just had to share it! Because of the multiple benefits our classes offer, there is something for every woman. So I invite you to try our classes and discover the benefits for yourself!
