She is extremely grateful to be blessed with the opportunity to share her knowledge and experience with others every day doing what she truly loves to do!

Sade

With a background in ballet, hip hop, and contemporary dance, Sade’s passion for dance began at age 3 and she has been choreographing routines to her favorite songs for as long as she can remember.

An avid athlete, dance has been a beautiful expressive part of her life that keeps her mind and body in sync, continually challenging her and bringing to light new and interesting ways to move and manipulate the body. 

Sedusa has given her a place to call home in this amazing journey and she hopes to inspire and share the #SlinkSquad style with all her students and fellow dancers!

Miquela

Miquela started her pole journey in 2018 and from the beginning was terrified and excited at the same time... you know, being a sensual goddess was just not in her nature at the time.

Miquela has a strong background in fitness, specifically Yoga and Pilates and in her spare time she likes to lift weights and kickbox. She never considered herself a dancer, until she came and completed her first series at Sedusa. Not only did she fall in love with herself completely, but she fell in love with the community of Sedusa. Miquela's goal is to spread positivity and self love in everything she teaches. Be prepared to laugh, giggle, and smile in her class

April Haze

April found her passion for pole back in 2018! While stripping she started working hard towards her pole and flow goals! After finding confidence and strength through pole April became a sensual dance and pole instructor in 2020! Now she’s happy to be a part of the Sedusa team!

Katie Sin

Katie Sin had a strong desire to pole since high school, but was afraid to start her pole journey at the time. Instead, she sought knowledge in related hobbies by taking three years of dance (jazz, musical, hip-hop, ballet, tap), one year of yoga, and spending her spare time on personal strength and flexibility training. While on her own journey to discover what her body was capable of, she began teaching gymnastics to children and did so for six wonderful years. With her desire to pole only growing stronger, she knew she had to take the leap. In May of 2017, Katie Sin finally began her pole journey and has since represented Sedusa Studio at multiple venues. As an instructor, her goal is to create an atmosphere of self-love and acceptance for her students, allowing each woman to explore their inner seductress. Katie aims to inspire each woman’s confidence, strength, and sensual prowess. She hopes the art of pole will instill these powers, both within the studio, and unto each student’s own life.

Featherina

Her journey began in gymnastics, where she honed her physical prowess and developed a deep appreciation for grace and precision. In 2019, Featherina found her artistic haven at Sedusa Studio. There, she discovered a supportive and empowering community, as well as a profound connection with her inner self, allowing her to explore and express her sensual side. Featherina's dance style is a hypnotic fusion of sensuality and athleticism, emphasizing delicious leg and heel work. She is highly passionate about her craft and is delighted to share her experience, hoping her students will also find empowerment, self-expression, and self-love.

Mayari

Mayari began her pole journey at Sedusa studio in 2019.  

While  she has no formal dance background, movement and fitness has been a part of her life as a softball player and kenpo karate student. Outside of the studio, Mayari enjoys mat pilates, flexibility and weight training.   In the search for a workout, community, and creative self expression, Mayari found that Sedusa was a safe space that allowed her to express her sensual softer side. At Sedusa, Mayari was introduced and hooked onto the art of sensual movement and heelwork. With an affinity for dark, haunting beats, Mayari has brought her fondness of heels, strength & flexibility tricks to the stage by competing in PSO Golden Gate. As an instructor, she enjoys growing alongside her students and hopes to cultivate their sensuality through the iteration of owning one's sexiness.
