Nadia Shariff is our next pole files interview. I have the pleasure of doing a workshop with Nadia last week and she is an absolutely amazing instructor plus an energetic performer. I am always so engaged when watching any of Nadia’s performances, she attracts and engages the crowd. I found her a warm and bubbly person with the most amazing hair:)
Lets hear from Nadia..
I’ve been pole dancing for 5 years. Started teaching myself tricks from watching YouTube and then quickly started competing, teaching, growing and sharing the love of pole. I am proud to say that I am the 2012 National Aerial Pole Art Champion, the 2012 California Pole Dance Champion and the 2012 Pole masters Cup Doubles Champion with my amazing partner Mina Mortezaie.
