Erica Rosene, a.k.a.

"Laci-Rose," has been dancing since 1992, studying ballet, jazz, modern, tap, all styles of ballroom dance, various forms of exotic, pole and burlesque, and more. With a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance Performance from East Carolina University in 2003, Erica brings a professional yet fun teaching perspective to all her students. In 2008 Erica was voted Best Dance Instructor by C-ville Weekly.

In 2005, Samantha Jones fell in love with her new son.

Six months later, after years of long distance cycling and triathlons, she fell in love again: with pole dancing.

Sasha Snow has been dancing since she was 5 years old.

Throughout her youth, she took theatre and dance classes and workshops, including jazz, tap, ballet and broadway dancing. She performed with the Four County Players in Barboursville, VA for several years as a teenager and starred in musical theatre numbers during her high school years. She studied ballet at Radford University for one year before focusing on her career in mass communications. She returned to her love of dance in 2006 when she discovered Laci Rose's Femme Fatales at Shergold Studio. Sasha Snow began teaching exotic dance classes and lap dance workshops in 2009 and as she says, "I haven't looked back since. I can't imagine not being around all the wonderful women who make up the heart of this dance studio. I learn as much from them, as they do from me."

Sinnamon

Sinnamon began her love affair with pole dancing in January 2009. Since then, she has expanded her repertoire to a large number of complementary dance styles and aerial arts, including exotic dance, burlesque, lyra (aerial hoop), silks (aerial fabric), social/ballroom dance, line dance, and even a bit of hula hoop, trapeze, and belly dance! Sinnamon loves the grace and strength that pole requires and the sexy confidence that it provides!
