June 2021 Student of the Month: Marilyn Hucek

When did you start your pole journey with classes at Pole Pressure?

My first class was on 12/17/20

Why did you decide to try pole dancing at Pole Pressure?

I have always been interested and fascinated with Pole Dancing, however, what pushed me to take action was my goal to learn pole dancing choreography for my music video. So I installed a home XPole in my house and started taking in-studio and virtual classes with Pole Pressure.

What do you love most about pole dancing at Pole Pressure?

They let you create your own learning path unique to your goals and abilities, which is amazing. I was training at a very intensive rate and allowed me to challenge myself, and push myself to grow and learn safely and effectively. They supported my vision and I ended up shooting my music video at the studio! I had a whole set design and had coaching support on the day of. Leading up to the music video I was able to book the studio for private training sessions to practice my music video choreography and more. Pole Pressure has been incredibly supportive and a key partner in my pole journey.

Why do you love Pole Pressure?

Pole Pressure introduced me to pole dancing/fitness and I am so thankful for that. Pole Pressure allowed me to train during the pandemic in a safe space, supported my goals as an individual, and set no boundaries to my learning path. That's true support when you have people cheering you on, who want you to reach your ultimate potential without holding you back. In the span of 4 months, I took more than 100 classes doing virtual, live-stream, in-studio, and private classes. I have to applaud those partners because so often you have people who limit your potential. I'm a big believer in infinite potential. You just have to put in the time and work, and anything is possible.

What are some of your goals for this year?

My pole dancing music video for my song 'Touch Me' is releasing June 16th, and I'd love everyone to check it out!

If you could train with any of your pole idols, who would it be and why?

I feel lucky to say that I already did, and it is global pole champion, Crystal Belcher! I took her workshop class at Pole Pressure, and the vibes were right so we went on to work together and she choreographed my music video with me! She is an incredible dancer and teacher and worked with me to pick out the best moves and flows for my body and comfort level while continuing to challenge me to be my best self.

What motivates you to train?

I had a goal in place, and I was determined to reach a certain skill set to achieve my vision for my music video. With a deadline in place, I had to work hard and consistently to reach that level. When the time came I was able to do pole moves that I dreamt of incorporating into my routine and it felt so rewarding.
