POLE FITNESS - Brianna



Brianna aka Bree, a Northern California native, found roots in Utah through her close-nit family and forged every rebellious path through conservative territory as she made her way through being a non-dancing cheerleader, actress, and extracurricular junkie. After running the gambit of professional college student, actress, and falling into the radio industry she landed on the perfect expression of all her passions in athletic movement, performance, and personal growth: pole fitness. She tackled the challenge with aplomb and a hearty sense of humor and was more than honored when asked become a Soiree instructor. Brianna shares her passion with conviction and that same sense of humor with all of her students in pole fitness classes, private and semi-private instruction, and lively parties. Brianna is AFAA certified.

She has danced from the time she was three up until she graduate high school for a total of about fifteen years. Kim has worked full time in various medical fields up until she had her first child. Then she was a stay a home mom until two years ago when she started working part time in a daycare center where she is currently working as the P.M. Assistant Director. Kim became interested in pole fitness after living in Vegas for almost a year but could never find the time to try it out. In January of 2008 her husband surprised her for her birthday with a package to Studio Soiree. It had everything including a pole for her home. Kim started working out at Studio Soiree the end of January 2008 which was a little more than six weeks after her last child. Kim fell in love with it and has made it apart of her life. Kim thoroughly loves to dance and workout and to help empower women all around. Kim would like women to know that they can come to a place where they can be themselves and find the part of them that they might be missing. Also were women can always feel that they have succeeded. Studio Soiree is just that place. It has helped me to become the women that I am now.

POLE FITNESS - Shelly



I was born and raised in a place, that my Norwegian mother says, is known for having the most beautiful women in the world...Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up, my dad would always tell me, "teaching, is the best job for a woman". Well here I am, teaching pole fitness,(the best job), to the most beautiful woman on the planet. While pursuing my degree at the University of Utah, I chose Physical Education, coaching/teaching, emphasis. This was during the time when Title 9 and Prop.16, were new, and coming into law, making it possible for women and girls to participate in sports.So many opportunites came my way. Danced two years as a "Utahna", under the direction of Leslie Butler. We were the dance team that performed during half-time.... Vegas "show girl" style. I coached Highschool women's Track and Field, producing three state champions. WSI certified, taught all levels in swimming. Coached Junior Gymnastics. After college, I made a financial decision not to pursue teaching in the public school system. I decided on a career in cosmotology. Attended the Vidal Sassoon Academy, in Santa Monica, Calif., and Von Curtis Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah. This career path, has taught me to be in business for myself. Whether its been coaching a team, dancing at half-time, or cutting a client's hair, these experiences have taught me alot about myself, and the wisdom that I have gained is priceless. I truly love the sport of Pole Fitness, and teaching here at Soiree, has allowed me to come full circle. I am surrounded by incredible women, of all ages....,all talented, and all beautiful. I get to see first hand, the transitions, and transformation, of my students. How lucky am I.... I "do" have the best job for a woman. A.F.A.A. certified and PFA member
