About us

Ally has been pole dancing since 2013 and teaching since 2015. She loves pole because it allows her and her students to embrace their sensuality and femininity in a way that they can take ownership of outside of the male gaze. She also loves how healing pole can be, and that it gives women a chance to rebuild their relationship with their bodies by learning to appreciate the amazing things the body is capable of.  Equally important, Ally loves how much fun pole is! Sharing all of its benefits with others ignites her creativity and her joy. As the Founder of Spin & Flow Pole Studios, she hopes to create a space that is beautiful, authentic, and a vessel for creative expression and strength. Ally is also Yoga and Flexibility certified and loves the mind-body connection of flexibility training.

Ray has been pole dancing since 2010 and began teaching in 2012. She is passionate about movement and has learnt to embrace her body for what it is capable of. Ray loves teaching because it gives her a chance to share her passion with others and to see her students progress not just in their pole skills but also in their confidence. Along the way, Ray wanted to know more about flexibility, so she completed her flexibility and yoga teacher trainings as well. She loves sharing her knowledge of the body and helping students reach their flexibility, pole, and dance goals. 

When Cassie discovered pole in 2019, it started as a way better option to the gym. Pole became a practise where she could improve her fitness, do awesome tricks and spins, and most importantly, feel great doing it. She began training with Spin & Flow in 2023 where she saw a huge improvement in her technique and skills. Getting to know the wonderful Spin & Flow students is often the highlight of her week and she still attends as many classes as possible to better her practice! Since becoming instructor certified in October 2023, Cassie now teaches beginner and intermediate pole and also incorporates her love for conditioning into her classes. She absolutely loves teaching pole. Sharing her passion and uplifting others warms her heart. Cassie’s goal is to create a safe, fun, and uplifting environment for students to find their own style and passion. Let the pole addiction begin!

Lucy began her pole journey in early 2023 at Spin & Flow and immediately started taking every class she could! She fell in love with the tricks, combos, spins, and strength building, and then fell even more in love with the dance side of pole. She appreciates how both being strong and delicate blend so well together in pole, particularly in spin pole. As an Instructor, Lucy adores seeing people achieve moves that they haven’t been able to do before and encouraging them when they doubt themselves. She also loves the grace and fluidity of spin pole and teaching students how to find that in themselves. 

Aurora has been poling since 2021, back when her Nan would drive her to classes every week. She quickly fell in love with pole and how it made her feel. When she went off to uni she joined the Uni of Essex Pole Dance Club where she met lifelong friends and expanded her confidence and skills. She fell in love with the challenging tricks as well as sensual flow, which helped her build an entirely new relationship with herself and her body. She went on to compete and win university competitions as well as become President of the club for two years while gaining her Instructor qualifications. Since leaving university, Aurora has continued to train, teach, and compete, earning 2nd place at Northern Naughties in the First Timers category! She loves teaching and watching her students flourish and grow and is so excited to be a member of the Spin & Flow team!

Mandy has been poling and flexibility training for nearly 15 years! She was hooked from the start and loves the challenge, the community pole brings, and all of the amazing friends and incredible people she's met everywhere she's trained. Mandy is still so in love with everything upside down and bendy. She believes age is just a number and pole is for everyone, so here’s to making many more pretty shapes and poling for years to come!
