<p style="text-align: justify;">I want to feature people like Lisa who have crossed my path and touched my life, inspiring me toward greatness. Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn’t seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel. People display “greatness” by their attitude, their lifestyle, their choices, their actions… I want to recognize the people in my life who lead by example.</p>

<h3 class="widget-title" style="text-align: center;">How did I meet Lisa?</h3>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Photo-20-X3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1113 alignright" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Photo-20-X3-300x200.jpg" alt="Lisa Noble" width="300" height="200" /></a>I saw an interview of Lisa in a Nanaimo magazine. I’ve got really excited to know that Nanaimo has a new dance pole studio call Luxe studio. Right away I wrote to her and wanted to go check it out. I always wanted to try pole dancing, rest reassured, I have no intention of becoming a stripper but I think that pole dancing is an art form. It requires so much strength and flexibility. Lisa welcomed me with open arms and has just been so generous ever since. I am literally in love with her, she is such a modest person and so talented. I’ve been training under her guidance and will be starting to teach pole dance Level 1 on Saturday's in November from 12-13. Enjoy reading her answers...</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hi my name is Lisa, and I'm the owner of <a href="http://www.luxe-studios.ca/">Luxe Studios</a> which is an alternative dance and fitness studio in Nanaimo. Our main offering is pole dance, but we also have bellydance, yoga, fitness, and circus style classes.</p>
<strong>What motivates you to exercise?</strong>
I've found that I really need to move every day, whether it's dancing or working out at a gym. If I don't move in some way on a daily basis I feel terrible and I get really grumpy!

<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>
Well I feel like I'm really biased on this one since I own a pole dancing studio, but definitely pole dance! For me it's the right mix of strength work, flashy tricks, and dance flow. I don't feel like I'm 'working out' when I'm training, I'm really focused on learning the next trick or spin and not watching the clock.

<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>
Opening the studio was a lot of work, and still is! But I'm really proud of the space and how far we've come in a year.

<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>
Is always being hungry a super power? Haha.

<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>
I can't go to to the movies and not get popcorn with extra butter, it isn't right.

<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>
Sushi! I could eat that every day, sometimes I do!

<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>
My main goal right now is to continue to grow the studio and the pole dancing community on Vancouver Island. I would also really like to travel to California and Australia this year to train with some of my favourite pole dancers.

<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>

I hear from a lot of people that they feel like they need to lose 10 pounds or work on their upper body strength first before they can come to class, and you really don't! I think the best thing about pole dancing is that while you are having fun and learning tricks things like getting stronger and changing your body composition just happen as a side effect. Beginner level pole is quite accessible, and if you need a little extra help to be able to move up to the intermediate and more advanced skills we have conditioning and strengthening classes that are specifically for pole dancers.
