Beatrice is a joy to teach. She has an attention to detail and a natural grace that make her dance elegant yet strong. She always works hard which shows in the way she builds strength and accomplishes new moves. She is helpful and supportive of everyone around her. We asked her to tell us a little bit about her experience at ArtFit.
What brought you to these classes?
I came to Artfit for pole dance classes. I was not sure what I was expecting in those classes, but the classes turn out to be so rewarding in terms of developing strength, resilience, and confidence. Then I developed my passion for belly dance and aerial silks. Bellydance classes teach me to discover and trust in my beauty and a nice way to let it blossom. Aerial silk classes are similar to pole classes in my opinion, where a great deal of muscle strength and focus are crucial. I also really love that Olivia and Cheryl teach those classes from the perspective of modern dance, which I found so artistic and classy.
What benefits have you gained from taking these classes?
Every form of dances class is proven to be an amazing learning experience. What I acquire from pole and silk class is not only the techniques but also the idea that the body is capable of so many “impossibilities” that had once rooted in the mind as long as one trust oneself and give them a try. I never thought I could handstand for all my life until 1 year ago when I started pole, and now I can freely kick up to a handstand against the wall. I am looking forward to discovering more potentials within my body. The dance classes also provide me a healthy outlet where I can ferment those frustrations and upset into the determination of conquering the next move!
Please tell us about any positive experiences that you have had with ArtFit or anything else that you would like to share.
The learning environment created by the Bushey’s is so precious! It is absolutely a judgement-free, criticism-free studio, where lots of encouragement and support are consistently given from both the instructors and the fellow students. Cheryl is always there to physically and mentally support you and you just feel so safe to practice those scary pole move in the air when she is around. Above all, you can tell that the instructors are just good people. They care about you and make sure your time spent in the classes are worthwhile via their patient explanations and demos.
