Dani Lee started pole dancing in 2009 at Brass Bombshells with no prior dance or gymnastics experience. Like many others, she was curious about pole dancing lessons when she was handed a flyer at her previous job and decided to enroll in the alternative fitness classes. She very quickly fell in love with the art of pole dancing and signed up for as many classes as she could and a short year later she became an instructor at the studio.
Athletic roots were planted at a young age when her mom enrolled her into swimming lessons at the local recreation centre and later into the world of competitive swimming. Dani lived to swim, it was her passion. After the years at the club, she pursued various fields of work – never feeling like she quite found her calling. Missing her athletic lifestyle she joined a gym but never fully enjoyed her time there. Pole dancing, in this case, filled this void and helped Dani reach new heights in shaping a career. The technical and tactical skills she developed from her training years at the Hamilton Aquatic Club are the heart of her teaching style.
Dani graduated with honours from Mohawk College’s Health, Wellness and Fitness program in May 2013, where many of the standards and principles she learned while studying at the college are applied in many of her classes and workshops today. She has recently completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and is excited to explore and teach another form of movement.
Dani holds the titles of 2012 – Amateur Division – Canadian Pole Fitness Champion and 2013 – Semi-Pro Division – Canadian Pole Fitness Champion.
