‘ In general,  Level 2 instructors should exemplify excellence in teaching quality and have extensive pole fitness industry experience.’

FANTASTIC NEWS…

I have just completed a Masterclass with Becca Butcher, this year’s international trixpert – winner of ‘Polarity’.  At this point, all I know about Becca Butcher is what the internet tells me : – that sometime in 2009, she sprung from the ground and entered a high profile pole dance competition alongside some of the current greats.  Becca’s dancing made people gasp with awe, after only pole dancing for a short time this is a rare thing.  I wanted to see more so I started looking around for all things Becca,  THEN I found one of the coolest things ever:

Becca overnight became pole’s first samurai fantasy superhero figure, with kick ass swords and an ‘I am capable of kicking you in the face’  kind of physique…works for me.  Yet when I met her and talked to her for this interview….well, read and you’ll see – you couldn’t find a sweeter girl in the world, everything about Becca is earthy and beautiful….I might be in love xxx

Just from that one video alone, Becca’s performance gave me the kick up the ass I needed to get back on the pole (after having a baby) and get back into shape.  This was a time in my ‘pole life’ when I needed all the support and motivation I could get and to my absolute delight – the hero’s at Halo Vertical Fitness in Lancashire got their finger out for pole and organised….yes….a Becca Butcher UK masterclass tour!  BINGO…

After completing the masterclass I felt INSPIRED, with a huge urge to tackle my pole with a ninja superhero attitude, without fear and ready for anything!  How has Becca inspired me?  read and find out a bit about who she is….she’ll probably inspire you too!

What is it?

Good question!  Ok first of all I will tell you what all these letters stand for:

 PDC – Pole Dance Community

 AAP – Advancement Accreditation Programme

Basically, it’s a little ‘Pole Passport’ which students,  instructors and general pole enthusiasts can buy and acts as proof of your skill level.

Think of it like this:  In Karate, you get different coloured belts.  In gymnastics you get  awarded different grades.  Hell – even your local pub’s footy team get awarded trophies each season they play!

The PDC AAP programme is nationally recognised, which means that you can take your passport to any other PDC registered school to continue your learning, or any master class, pole jam or other events!  This is your POLE RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT! Read more →
