Listen, there are a lot of amazing pole dancers, but I think for me, I just wanted to go to a place where I could feel
And whenever I pick a teacher, it's because they have something, like they have a want to get to the root of the cause and a respect for the community as well around the... What kind of music did your parents show you when you were a kid?
Oh my gosh, so much.
I really did.
At times I felt very embarrassed by it, but now I'm so grateful.
Because there was a lot of like acid jazz, jazz fusion music.
you know non-verbal jazz like people singing scat overbeats or um you know like the scatman song like um you know that song no i don't i was thinking more about like tanya maria oh she's a scatter yeah well one of her well a few tina marie uh tanya maria oh never mind
I did, but much later.
I love the specials.
I love the specials.
That was more in my 20s.
Like, for me, more in my teens, it was, like, discovering...
Bashment and Dancehall and because I grew up in a place called Cheltenham which is very white but then literally like 20 minutes away there's a place called Gloucester which is not only got like an amazing black community but also a Jamaican community.
No there was a club there called the Jamaican Club and it was when Dancehall and Bashment was huge and I remember going to that when I was 16.
and like there were loads of rasters there but it was like people that have like just come from jamaica and and have created a community there and that's when i really discovered myself and i had like a huge breakthrough actually because i had a best friend at the time who was white and blonde and really pretty and super popular and i would really want her to come with me to the jamaican club and i remember her saying to me that like she didn't want to come and i was like
How old were you guys?
They were like 16, 17.
But I'd always done stuff with her and all of my white friends in Cheltenham.
You know, like whatever they wanted to do.
Yeah, like go, I don't know, do stuff that my white friends wanted to do, like go to a skate park or... Celebrate Easter.
