From Gymnastics to Pole: Alyona’s Spicy Journey to Stardom

From Gymnastics to Pole: Alyona’s Spicy Journey to Stardom

A Rocky Start

Alyona’s first encounter with pole dancing wasn’t exactly love at first spin. “It was so difficult for me,” she admits. “I did it for only one month and decided it wasn’t for me.” But like any good plot twist, two years later, she found herself drawn back. Now, 12 years on, Alyona can’t imagine life without it.

Chocolate Meets Ginger: A Dance Style is Born

How does Alyona describe her unique dance style? “It’s like a mix of chocolate and ginger,” she says with a grin. “Chocolate is the sensual, hot part, and ginger is the spicy, unexpected part.” It’s this blend of sweet and spicy that’s made her a sought-after instructor across Europe, Asia, and Russia.

Fierce on Instagram, Warm in Real Life

Don’t let Alyona’s commanding Instagram presence fool you. “It’s just pictures for advertising,” she reveals. “In my life, I’m very kind, open, and human.” This duality has helped her build a strong brand while maintaining authentic connections with her students.

The “Pole Mommy” Approach

Speaking of students, they’ve dubbed her “Pole Mommy” – and for good reason. Alyona’s teaching style is challenging yet deeply supportive. “My classes are never easy, but I give my students big support,” she explains. “It’s not just dance; it’s everything from my soul.”

From Dog Bite to Dog Love

Alyona’s fearless approach to life extends beyond the pole. After being bitten by a big dog, most would steer clear. Not Alyona. She got two big dogs of her own! “I wanted to learn how to handle dogs and be with animals,” she says, exemplifying her face-your-fears attitude.

Adventures Beyond the Pole

When she’s not defying gravity, you might find Alyona exploring the beaches of Bali (her favorite destination), finding peace in nature, or even at a shooting range. Yes, you read that right – guns, not cameras!

What’s Next for This Pole Star?

As for the future, Alyona stands at an exciting crossroads. “I have plans for countries I want to visit,” she muses. “I closed my studio in my city, and now I don’t know if I should open a new one or just keep traveling.” One thing’s for sure – whatever she chooses, she’ll approach it with the same determination that’s defined her career.

Alyona’s journey from gymnastics to global pole dance sensation is a testament to the power of perseverance, creativity, and being open to life’s unexpected turns. As she puts it, “If you want something, you can do it.” And Alyona? She’s living proof of just that.
