Indi Rose (Britt)
Instructor
@indi_rose_poledancer
Indi Rose started pole in 2015 after wanting to learn ballet with a friend. With an accidental Google search mishap, she ended up with a voucher for a beginner pole course. With a background in hockey and theatre sports she loves that pole celebrates so many different styles and is a diverse performer and nurturing teacher. She is excited to be part of her student’s pole journey by adapting to their learning style and finding that thing that makes it ‘click’!
