Coming from the great state of NY, CInderLeah has danced since the age of 5. Growing up, it was tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop and acro, while competing with group routines. As a young adult, she continued taking classes and performing for fun and worked as a choreographer for a small local theater group. Upon moving to VA in 2007, she quickly found a lack of dancing opportunities for adults. In 2011, she was asked to try a pole class. And what started out just for fun, quickly became a hobby, turned into an obsession and then just became a way of life. She started teaching barre and pole choreography classes  while studying for the AFAA Primary Group Exercise Certification.  Other certifications that followed are AFAA Group Resistance Training, FEWDM OmniBall and Liquid Motion 1.0.  After competing in PSO's APC division in 2018 and bringing home a Silver Medal in the Exotic category, she was accepted to be a brand ambassador, also known as a Unicorn!  In 2017, she also competed in the Titans of Pole Competition and placed Silver in her division.  She says "Workouts don't have to be boring.  And pole fitness and dancing is anything but.  It's a great workout, both physically and mentally.  It also makes you part of a great community."
