PDC Approved 4 star pole dancing instructor Alexandra Danielle
PDC Approved 4 star pole dancing instructor Alexandra Danielle teaches at Studio Aeris in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Alexandra also runs PDC Approved Pole Instructor Training.
Alexandra received her two references from fellow 4 star instructors Cindy Cooijmanns and Hanka Venselaar.
Cindy said "Alexandra is very ambitious and innovative in her Pole activities. Alexandra is always busy organizing workshops, trainings and creating new classes for her studio.
Alexandra has a very positive attitude and is always prepared to learn, she takes feedback very well. She will ask people around her for advice if she thinks she needs it.
She has a good sense of humour and is nice to be around."
Hanka said "I support Alexandra’s application because not only is she a very knowledgeable teacher with years of experience, she also cares about good education and instruction for other teachers. During classes she focusses on correct technique and form. She breaks down the moves, spots where necessary, and, most of all, makes sure that everyone feels safe during a class. Additionally, she worked passionately on a pole trainer instruction course which provides and extensive anatomical and physiological background for new pole instructors besides the standard techniques.
With that background plus here many years as a trainer, teacher, performer, and studio-owner, I can truly say that Alexandra deserves to be a 4-star instructor."

Teaching History:
I started teaching in 2008, after a few years of pole dance training (2004). At first workshops only, but I quickly did the teacher training and started teaching beginner classes.
In 2012 I founded my own studio in Utrecht; Studio Aeris. This has been my fulltime job ever since.
Student's pole dancing success:
I coached Monica van Beek (2016, 1st place 50+) and Eva & Esther (2018, 2nd place Doubles)
for the IPSF Dutch Championships. Personally I care more about the victories my students have in class. (editor's note - excellent response)
Continuing Professional Development:
At the moment I am developing more knowledge working together with professionals from both outside and within the industry in order to built a high quality instructor education. After covid and giving birth I will continue doing courses/trainings etc. that are interesting.
