Amy williams
​With 18 years of experience as a pole dancer, I have dedicated my life to mastering the blend of strength, grace, and flexibility that this art form requires. I am very proud to be part of a team with a renowned training company, where I hold the title of Xpert Elite Trainer for Xpert.
Throughout my career, I have participated in numerous competitions, showcasing my skills and passion for pole dancing. Notable events include the UK Pole Dance Championships (UKPPC), Miss Pole Dance, and Dance Filthy, where I have continually challenged myself and refined my artistry. Most recently, I had the honor of being part of the opening show for Pole Theatre 2025, an experience that further fueled my passion for performance and community in the pole dancing world.
My journey is not just about competition; it is also deeply rooted in a love for teaching and a commitment to helping others overcome posture and flexibility challenges. I believe that understanding proper alignment and technique is crucial for every person, and I am dedicated to guiding each individual toward achieving their full potential.
My personal journey took a remarkable turn when I embraced motherhood for the second time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Navigating the challenges of pregnancy and rebuilding my strength from the ground up has given me a unique perspective on resilience—both physical and mental. This experience has deepened my empathy for others on their own journeys and strengthened my desire to support them.

Teaches: Beginner and intermediate pole

​Jess found pole nearly 3 years ago and was completely hooked from her first lesson. It quickly became a huge part of her life after realising she had a real passion for all things pole. Once she started teaching it felt amazing to help her students gain more confidence and strength.
Jess loves all styles off pole especially spinny.
