Check out Maxine's impressive profile:
"I worked as an Account Coordinator for five years for Electrolux Home Products. This gave me a great insight in delegating, organising, planning and problem solving. Since January 2005 I have run my own pole dance for fitness school in Windsor. This requires me to promote the business by talking to people about the product, advertising, distributing flyers, accountancy, teaching, training and running promotional nights. I understand that is vital to know your product, show interest and present your self in a suitable fashion.
I have danced and performed on stage since an early age of three so am no stranger to performing in front of a crowd, in fact that is what love best. This has given me confidence and the ability to communicate at all levels with ease. I currently dance at events and nightclubs using my podium pole. I am of excellent trick standard and continuously improve my trick knowledge by teaching and training.
My teaching method is firstly safe but extremely fun, nothing pleases me more than to see one of my girls achieve something they didn’t think possible. My aim as a teacher is to help every student be the best they can be. Whether you want to do complex gymnastic moves, spin gracefully or link a routine together. I pride myself on being able to teach a diverse class where everyone and anyone is welcome. 
I am a fully qualified exercise instructor and am fully insured which means I can teach anywhere and you’re safe in my care. In addition to this I am also qualified to teach Pilates and am a trained Sports and Remedial Massage therapist. This gives me extensive knowledge of the muscular and skeletal system, which benefits my students when they want to strengthen, stretch, rehabilitate or receive a post Pole workout massage.
My strength as a teacher is choreographing routines, as I’m a classically dancer I am able to count music easily as this is something I have had to do from an early age. I pride myself in being able to put something together very quickly, this knowledge is passed on to my students and many come to me for private lessons on choreography"

Polestars London Pole Dance Company:
"I trained with polestars initially as a hobby, coming from a dance back ground I took to it very easily. I was then asked to teach for them, after teacher training, practise and shadow teaching I was given my own area in reading which was mine to run. My time at polestars was an excellent learning curve, I was able to teach myself tricks and pass self satisfaction on to others. During my time with polestars I danced at Erotica 2004, aphrodisiac’s night, taught the cheeky girls and various other events to promote them."
