Hi'iaka (She/Her)

I was born and raised on Oahu and moved to Seattle in 2014 because I was in need of some change. I've always had some kind of dance in my life. In Hawai'i I danced Hula and Tahitian competitively for years. After moving I was in need of a new dance outlet. I found pole fitness about 6 years ago and fell in love. Pole has given me a safe place for finding myself without fear of judgement or expectation. I found myself getting stronger and enjoying working out without the need of a partner to keep me motivated to go. Pole has taught me to enjoy the journey and to take things at your own pace. I have gained so much confidence thanks to this wonderful art and I hope to continue to grow in this dance for a long time to come.
