Featured Instructor - PDC Approved 3 star pole dancing instructor Angie Voluti.
Angie Voluti is the principal instructor at the White Studio based at Bedford College. The White Studio launched in May 2017 and is the first and only European business to manufacture bespoke flexibility yoga wheels in natural, sustainable materials and to the user’s specification. Angie and business partner Amelia chose Bedford as the city to hold its flexibility, dance and pole fitness courses.
“We started producing the only UK-made wood and cork flexibility yoga wheels last year, and it became immediately apparent that there were no classes focused on the use of such a tool,” says The White Studio Principal Angie Voluti. “We decided to create a course to teach students, who wish to increase their flexibility and improve their fitness, how the flexibility wheel can help.”
