Lauren Red

Lauren was born in Sandhurst, England and has always loved to dance. A naughty child, she was sent to ballet class as a way to instil some discipline and give her parents a break from her mischievous behaviour! She absolutely loved it and those first experiences have fuelled her passion for all types of dance ever since.

Pole came into Lauren’s life at a much later stage when she met Donna Gant at 1st Class Pole Fitness. Lauren saw that pole dance was a celebration of women’s strength and empowerment and she practised tirelessly in order to move up to advanced as soon as Donna thought her ready. Her signature grace and flexibility enabled her to connect with others in a way she never felt possible before. Dance has enabled her to both be inspired and inspire others, empowering them to take the first steps towards more confidence, happiness and fulfilment.

That was back in 2006 and Pippa has never looked back after falling in love with the sport. Pippa is first aid trained and qualified in pole fitness instruction and has been teaching polers for 5 years.
