It takes a whole host of qualities and attributes to be a professional pole dancer. You must be brave, brave and braveer. You must be very adaptable and courageous.

And I have to say, there is a lot of excitement associated with it.

Do you ever feel insecure about what you’re doing?

Sometimes I do feel like the guy on the show who is doing his thing and everyone else is looking at him, admiring him, feeling jealous or insecure. But it’s all part of the art, just so you know—some people are just too good for that to occur again. I’m not afraid of heights, or the pole. I’m just afraid of what other people think.
