Tracey Simmonds, one of the UK’s top pole dancer’s, was my first ever pole idol. Indeed after my first ever pole lesson, I remember coming home and googling pole dancing and it was Tracey Simmonds that made me say “I want to be like that on a pole!”, she became my inspiration.
So you can imagine how excited I was top hear that Tracey was in the UK offering masterclasses. I promptly booked myself onto the nearest course venue: London, some 5.5 hours by train.
Although excited I also had the ‘just another masterclass’ feeling. Indeed each and every class has been an enjoyable experience but none has been quite as enjoyable or rewarding as this one. Tracey was keen to get the most out of each student, and seem to pick up on strengths instantly; she also gave so much of her time to everyone in the class. Thanks to the organiser’s of that class, numbers were small which enabled a huge amount of pole time and practice. This was the first masterclass where I was able to dictate what I wanted to learn, and was assisted in this matter no end, by a lady who had the patience of a saint and was stronger than an ox!
I came away from this class feeling a natural high that can only be achieved by doing something you love so much. My body bruised and aching but my soul in a very happy place! I would recommend this masterclass to any pole enthusiast of an advanced level. Tracey Simmonds truly is inspirational and just an amazing pole dancer!
