Samantha started her pole fitness journey in November 2018, and became addicted from day 1! She became very involved in the Pole Fitness community, performed in many Holiday Showcases, ran doubles workshops, and even started competing in 2019. Given her background in environmental education, she decided she wanted to start teaching pole as well, so she started to do so in Summer 2020. She loves being her students' cheerleader! She will always motivate her students, whether it’s yelling out compliments during a combo, or giving them advice on how they can become better polers by training off the pole. She also started taking Hammock classes in January 2023, which just enhanced her pole game! 

Samantha is a pole and hammock specialist and teaches levels 1 through 4. Follow Sam on Instagram @sdimitraki
