Science of Slink Member Profile: Kat

I’d love to introduce y’all to Kat, who’s been a member of the Science of Slink membership for years 🤎

What first drew you to the membership?

A variety of things drew me to the membership! I've danced at four different in-person studios across the US. While each studio had wonderful aspects, I was tried of choreo and trick-based classes; warm ups that were brief or not ideal for my body (I have been in so many classes where the "warm up" was folks dropping right into their splits!); and studios that excluded dancers based off of gender, sex, or sex-worker status. I swore to myself to only take classes at studios that were all gender and sex-inclusive and openly welcoming to sex workers, which narrowed down my local options and required me to drive farther to an inclusive studio: which I was willing to do, but the time in the car was not ideal. I am also a very health and disease conscience individual and was unhappy with how fast studios moved away from covid precautions. After venting about all of the above to a friend, she mentioned Science of Slink and I was overjoyed! I never imagined that a studio existed that met even a few of my criteria, not to mention all of them. Almost a year and a half later I am still dancing with Rosy and couldn't be happier with my membership.

What would you tell something considering joining Science of Slink?

I mean.... do it?!?! The community is so positive and the classes are fun and accessible for all movement backgrounds.

What's one thing you look forward to about Slink Through Strength classes?

The community. I've met so many lovely dancers who share my values and are just fun to hang out with, and an inspiration to dance with!

What's a win or breakthrough you've had dancing at the studio?

My biggest win has been letting go of my preconceived notions about what pole dance looks like and finding movement that feels good for my body and mind. i am still, at times, self-conscious, but the moments of consciousness grow few and far between the longer I dance at this studio.

Interested in joining Kat? I’d love to have you try a drop in class or go all-in with a Science of Slink Membership. - Rosy
