Hey Pole+ Fam!
I’m Jada, but you may know me as Jade the Serpent.
I started my pole journey in September 2014 at Xpose Fitness in Arundel Mills. I was participating in a health and fitness challenge at the time and we were tasked with trying an “unconventional” work out. From the moment I attempted my very first catch spin, I’ve been hooked ever since.
As a beginner…
I was SO excited about how much I was growing to love pole dancing, that I started researching pole blogs, websites, Facebook and Instagram pages, etc. in hopes of connecting with other women who shared my passion.
While there were A LOT of websites that catered to pole, I started realizing that I would only see the curvier folks once in a while.
I searched everything from “plus size pole fitness” to “curvy pole dancer” but there were no public pole fitness communities that celebrated people in bodies with a little extra umph.
So I decided to create it!
In February 2015, I created Curvy Girls Pole! What started out as a small platform to keep me inspired on my pole journey, has grown into an international sisterhood of curvy people supporting, inspiring and empowering one another through pole!
In September 2022, I recognized how much our community has evolved and wanted to dig deeper into our roots of celebrating unconventional-sized athletes, so I re-branded to POLE+ - the same inclusive pole blog you knew and loved, but elevated!
In addition, we’ve also created our very first pole home - POLE+ Studio - located in Baltimore, MD! Now, our community has an inclusive, fun, and rebellious place to visit, whenever they’re in the DMV!
I’m so proud of what we’ve created together! Not only can we proudly tout nearly 100K followers across social media, but our community continues to grow and thrive every day!
Our former brand, Curvy Girls Pole, has even been featured in:
…and more!
Pole has changed my life in the best of ways…
and I hope that you’ll join us on this journey as we continue breaking barriers in fitness, by showcasing curvy people being strong, limitless, athletic badasses!
I also hope that POLE+ inspires you to break down your own barriers, build personal confidence, and encourages you to never let age, size or personal doubt limit you from trying something new!
