Meet Missy!
Missy found Divine Movement in 2014. What she thought would be just an interesting 6 week experience, has become her passion. She has explored some of the technical parts of pole dancing, which she loves, and really found her home with Boudoir Dance. Boudoir Dance fits Missy beautifully, almost like a second skin. For Missy, being a dance instructor and sharing the beauty, and the marriage of Boudoir Dance & Pole Dance is a dream come true.
