Viva Circus at Taylor’s Retreat: Playtime

Organized by Sam Ames and Ben Turner

So the four of us – Sam, Shan, Vee and myself, were invited to perform at this Fund Raiser for Cancer Research UK.  Of course we said yes, any time we have an opportunity to help a great cause, we’re there – not to mention Ben who runs Taylor’s Retreat Pole Studio is a friendly of Viva Vertical 😉

We were lucky to have BEAUTIFUL weather that day and couldn’t have asked for a better day of meeting lots of pole junkies, pole celebrities like Anastasia Skukhtorova, Jo Tay, Ian Matthews as well as dancers and parkour king Timothy Shieff.

We stayed on the property that night, many thanks to the generous hospitality of Ben.  It was such a sweet environment to be in, that I even took the opportunity to do some sprints and training in the morning!

I've been told that I'm tiny but tough, so I must have gotten SOME things right. On the inside, I feel like a mushy marshmellow who's a hopeless romantic and find corny cute. Writing "About Me" sections had evolved in the past x years of online profiles, currently, it sits at me still hungry for enlightening experiences and insightful traveling, particularly with human connections. My story at full length on the "About" page :) Thank you for poking around!
