March 2025 Student of the Month: James

When did you start your pole journey?

Fall 2019 and then Fall 2023 after a 2.5 year hiatus.

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

I wanted to be more like Constance Wu in the movie Hookers: sexy and confident.

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

I love the instructors and how each has a unique and nuanced perspective and approach towards teaching and the art of pole.

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

I follow and would love to train more with my friend Alvie (@alvipolvi on Insta), who has mad strength and flexibility, has great flow and honest outtakes (videos), and has always been supportive of my pole journey.

What motivates you to train?

Boys. 😏

What are some of your goals for this year?

Smile, breathe, and pole at the same time. I’m sure it can be done!

Why do you love Pole Pressure?

Pole Pressure has such a supportive culture. I used to be much harder on myself, and, with everyone’s support, I am ok with making mistakes.
