Welcome to Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, the podcast by GenX Pole Arts! I’m Zen (Nancy Adzentoivich), here to celebrate women over 40 finding strength, confidence, and community through pole dancing.
In this heartfelt and wisdom-filled episode of Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, we sit down with pole instructor and movement artist Ray to talk about what truly makes a good teacher in the world of pole and movement.
Ray shares insights on the art of teaching to someone else’s body rather than your own, how yoga training shaped his approach, and the difference between performing and teaching. We also dive into the ever-evolving world of pole dance—from foundational tricks like Jade splits to today’s innovative moves—and why it’s so important to remain a student, no matter how long you’ve been in the game.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Teaching vs. performing: why they’re completely different skill sets
How yoga and body mechanics training can elevate pole instruction
The evolution of pole tricks and the excitement of new innovations
Staying humble and always remaining a student
Cross-disciplinary creativity in pole (ballet, gymnastics, clowning!)
