For the past 2 months or so, my Soiree Sisters and I have been counting down the days for the FELIX CANE Workshop Weekend!! It finally arrived this weekend! Yay!
Felix started pole dancing 7 or 8 years ago. Her mother and younger sister were visiting her at Uni, (that's Aussie lingo for University! One of best friends is Australian & she taught me Aussie lingo when she stayed with me! That's right, I speak Australian! ha! ;) ), in Australia and were looking for something fun to do. Her mother saw an add for a pole dancing class and thought, Awesome! Felix was mortified that her mother took her 14 year old sister pole dancing and that her mom was cooler than her! Her mom told her that she would love it and to take the class. So, Felix went to sign up for the class just to prove her mom wrong & ended up having to sign up for an 8 week session because the special one day class her mom and sister took was only offered the previous week as a special!
Well, she fell in love with it after one class and she couldn't believe that her mother was right and that her mom was cooler than her!! Now Felix is the world champion and is about to start her 3 year adventure touring with the Zumanity Michael Jackson show (Cirque du Soleil).
That's the "Eagle" pose. Super hard! She did ballet for years but stopped because she was sick of the industry and how you had to be stick skinny to be a ballerina.
Last weekend one of my instructors, Rina, was at the pole convention in Florida and text us this picture of her and Felix! We were all pretty jealous because we wanted to be there! Next year...

Sara, Felix, and ME!!!! 
Felix is one of the most adorable, humble, genuine, super funny, and awesome persons I've ever met. (which is rare for a celebrity). She came to my friends going away BBQ Friday night and hung out with us all night long! It was awesome! My favorite things about her is how passionate she is about pole. She does it because she loves it and not for any other reason. She found it at a time when she was weak and she thanks god (or whoever you believe is up there, those were her words!) for her talent and her blessings. She loves to share everything that she has learned because it would be selfish of her not to! She is so amazing and I can't wait for her to come back!! Love her!
