Nicole

Owner / Certified Pole Instructor

Nicole is the owner of Strong Souls who created this studio to help bring the pole studio home.  She fell in love with pole dancing between Jan-May of 2023 and started really taking it seriously when she found a studio she loved in Hollywood, FL on her work trips.  She would take as many classes as possible to make the most of her work trips.  From there she started going to Aries and Impulse Pole Dance in Gibsonton/Riverview area, but the drives are a bit much being they are each an hour away from her home.  It has been on her heart for at least a year or so that she wanted to bring the supportive pole community home to share her love for this sport and environment.  It has been the one thing in her life that really just made her bloom into her own being.

​

Nicole has acquired two specific pole instructor certifications with Pole Fitness Alliance and Cirqfit which helped solidify her heart's desire to teach in this field.  Strong Souls is full of her heart, blood, sweat, and tears.
