Teaching Level: Beginner to Advanced
Favorite Music to Dance To: Slow Jazz, Soulful R&B
Favorite Pole Spin: Flying Body Spiral to Handspring
Well known for: Walking it out on the Ceiling

Nicole has been a Personal Trainer for over 9 years and is an all around athlete. Pole dancing came very natural for her due to her athletic background.  However turning a tomboy into a sexy diva was quite the challenge. But with practice & determination she turned herself into a Sexy Pole Dancing Diva.

"Sexy movement was not something I actually felt comfortable doing. I had to teach myself how to relax, slow down, feel my body and be graceful. Pole Dancing is a Powerful Movement and I absolutely love how empowered & confident my clients feel after their first class.  I've traded my dumbbells in for my pole and so can you.  Pole Dancing is no longer a hidden art form.  We're taking it out of the strip clubs and bringing it to the average woman in a classier, sexier, and intimate environment where any woman can feel comfortable with herself."

One Word to Describe How Pole Dancing Makes You Feel: Sexy

Beverly is a Los Angeles native who was born to parents who love to dance. She followed her parents’ footsteps and quickly became a natural at dancing. In her youth she took Hula and Polynesian Dancing.  She quickly fell in love with the culture and lifestyle. At one point in her life she didn’t want to do anything else, but dance Hula. Beverly has always been active during her youth taking hip hop dance, martial arts, and swimming. Just like every woman, she loves being pampered, shopping, and fine dining. During her free time, she enjoys boating, jet skiing, traveling, working out, and most of all cherishes the times spent with family and friends more than anything. 

The fascination of exotic dancing and the dancers toned bodies led her to pole dance classes. She’d attended a few pole dance studios in the Los Angeles area, but found Allure Dance & Fitness Studio as her number one choice.  Beverly's background in hula dancing (which consisted of moving your hips really fast) wasn't used to the very sensual and seductive movement of pole dancing, but later adapted to it. 

“When pole dancing I just unleash my inner sexy alter ego and just let my body move freely. The Art of Pole Dancing is a great work out and a must try. Trust me ladies, you will be hooked once you see yourself wearing those stilettos. Join the Pole Dance Movement!”

Connie Cloy
Teaching Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Favorite Pole Trick: Butterfly

Connie was born in Seattle, WA and moved to Las Vegas where she began her career in finance and discovered her love for fitness. After changing her lifestyle with clean eating and exercise Connie lost 30 lbs which inspired her to help other people to reach their goals and improve their lifestyle.

While visiting Los Angeles a few times and falling in love with the city of Angels she decided to move there in December 2008. Being new to the city she joined a gym but was soon tired of the normal routine.  She realized that in order to maintain her weight and health she’d have to find a new avenue for fitness that would be more challenging so she decided to try something completely different. Always interested in pole dancing but worried she didn’t have the coordination she decided it was time to leave her old comfort zone and give it a shot.  She found Allure Dance Studio online and realized it would also be a great place to meet new people as well as get a decent work out. Well, after her first class she was hooked and very sore in muscles she never knew existed.  Needless to say she decided that because it was a great workout and so much fun becoming a teacher was something she had to do.

Continuing her career in finance Connie is also in the process of pursuing her career in health, fitness, and motivation.  By simply leading by example, she has helped friends and family members reach their fitness goals and wants to help others to do the same.

At nine, she assisted in teaching adult jazz. Later on she trained at Debbie Reynold’s for a spell, Edge Performing Arts, and in high school performed in the Beverly Hills Dance Company, and as a Norman cheerleader. At U.S.C., she performed and choreographed as a U.S.C. song-leader. Now, she continues her passion in dance recreationally, and choreographically. Dionne loves dance, because it inspires, and flows creativity in life. Dance makes her feel energetic and serene simultaneously.

Jennifer was born and raised in Los Angeles. She is a single mother of an autistic child and volunteers with autism awareness organizations. Jennifer loves spending time with family and friends. She enjoys water sports, dining out, photography, traveling and Lakers basketball.  As a strong believer of civil rights, she is currently employed as a legal assistant for a civil litigation firm whose primary focus is police misconduct cases.  A friend recommended pole dancing at Allure Studios to Jennifer, and she has been a student of Nicole's ever since.

"I was a gym addict, going to the gym everyday. Kickboxing and yoga were my favorite workouts. Then I added pole dance to my fitness routine.  Since I am not athletically inclined, I wasn’t a "natural" at  pole dancing... but with practice and determination I succeeded, and now I'm an instructor!  It is the best workout because not only do I burn calories, but I have so much fun."

Menina Givens is a native of Los Angeles, California and has loved dancing and cheerleading from the time she was 9 years old.  She continued that passion thru high school and cheered professionally in the NFL for the Los Angeles Raiders for three years.

Menina fell in love with pole dancing after attending a bachelorette party at the studio and decided to sign up that day as a fun way to stay in shape and feel sexy!  The pole classes quickly became a replacement for her boring gym workouts and she found herself at the studio 2-3 times/week.  She loves teaching the "Intro to Pole" Class and especially enjoys watching the transformation, as her students come out of their shells and discover their inner sexiness!
