Overview

SPECIAL WORKSHOP: COMTEMPORARY FLOW WITH MAYA

Maya started Pole dancing in 2015, beginning her pole journey at Newcastle Pole Dance Society. She started as a complete beginner and grew into teaching choreography classes and competing in IUPDC in 2018/19, placing 2nd in the intermediate category in 2018. Maya now teaches pole choreography at Kelechnekoff Studio, her home studio, where she fell in love with the vibes and approach to pole dancing as a grounding practice. Maya's favourite part of dancing is the therapeutic aspect - feeling free, strong and helping other people find that strength too! In recent years, Maya has facilitated pole workshops at The Tate and other sites in London. Her work has focussed on pole as a healing practice, as the heart of a community and as a tool for self-exploration and growth. For her, teaching is a real joy and it's a blessing to be able to share the beauty of pole.
