TESTIMONIALS

 

“Thank you for class tonight.  I am so happy with what I was able to accomplish.  Sure, I'm not 'nailing' anything YET, but I've never felt confident in my split grips and I finally feeling that comfort, that strength coming.  Thank you for supporting, pushing & kicking me in the ass when I need it. You're awesome & I know I wouldn't be where I am today without you! .” Kate Fields-

“Cut to my first class.  I got there early, and Miss Selenia was hanging out in the lobby, and I told her it was my first pole class ever.  She hugged me!  I knew right then and there that I would be super comfortable at LM, and accepted just for showing up and giving it a try.  And then came the moment I got to walk around the pole for the first time.  Tears!  And then came the walk to the car after class.  More tears!  Eureeka!  I had found a home.  And then came the four days of soreness all up and down my back and shoulders.  I couldn't even pump soap out of my bathroom soap dispenser.  I was shocked at how many muscles were worked in that first class alone.” Jen Hearts L.A., Luscious Maven Yelp Review

 

"Last night I took Miss Selenia's twerkshop. I had a blast learning different ways to move my body and EMBRACE my curves. Miss Selenia is an amazing instructor, she's got great energy and a wonderful spirit.  She challenges you in all aspects." Karina B- Luscious Maven Yelp Review

 

"As a woman who is not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination, the pole fitness bootcamp classes at Luscious Maven have been perfect for me.  It has given me the opportunity to learn pole moves and get stronger without worrying about whether it's going to look sexy or not.  I'm in the best the best shape of my life thanks to the bootcamp series, and it's the most fun group class I've ever taken.  The instructor, Miss Selenia, is tough and supportive and will challenge you to try things you never thought you could do.  I'd highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to tone up and get stronger while having the most fun you can at 6am!" Corinne C - Luscious Maven Yelp Review

 

"One of my favorite classes - which I love dearly and can't recommend highly enough - is Miss Selenia's pole bootcamp. It will improve your strength by leaps and strides, and you WILL get a better body.  I never thought I would look forward to getting up early and exercising, but I look forward to bootcamp so much and am very sad if I have to miss a session. Bootcamp is challenging and fun, and I think essential if you want to improve your strength to progress in pole.  Even if you have no pole aspirations, the bootcamp is an effective and fun way to get in shape.  Miss Selenia is an amazing teacher - in addition to providing excellent instruction, she makes working your butt off (literally) fun!"  Amy K - Luscious Maven Yelp Review

 

"So, I'm kinda in love with this studio. I feel like I'm growing a ton, being challenged, but also have total support from Miss Selenia, who is completely awesome! This review is both for the pole level 2/3 classes and her Ms New Booty Twerkshop. Pole is hard, she makes it look beautiful, but also helps YOU to make it look as pretty as well (even though for me, it's not quite there yet). Her Twerkshop was HARD but worth it! One of the best workouts I've had (still sore and it was 3 days ago), but I got my small butt moving and shaking when I had ALL doubt! If you've ever wanted to say, yes I twerk, take Miss Selenia's class and you will leave knowing you accomplished it! Love that I have found this studio, and appreciate the other girls in the class making me feel included. Thank you Luscious Maven!" AG - Luscious Maven Yelp Review

 

"I took most of my classes with Miss Selenia and one with Shannon Storm. Shannon's sweet, but she was still getting into her teaching groove so I didn't feel as pumped with her as I did with Miss Selenia. Miss Selenia, I adore this woman. She's so energetic and is totally down to taking some time to guide you step-by-step through moves you don't get." Miki C

 

I've been taking classes here at Luscious Maven since this past January (Jan. '13), and I cannot believe how much stronger I've become thanks to Miss Selenia's boot camp classes! 

We do cardio, ab work, arm and shoulder strengthening, as well as applying all of those efforts to real pole spins and poses. We worked on difficult moves from the ground up, constantly building upon previous classes and still managing to go at our own pace. In a matter of weeks I was able to zip to the top of the 14' poles, do sits, laybacks, and eventually inverts!

It would not have been possible without the awesome and patient guidance of the instructor, Miss Selenia. I was especially worried that I would not be able to succeed in the class, because I'm a wonderfully thick kind of gal, but Miss Selenia was able to modify exercises and gave me plenty of attention to make sure that I too was able to accomplish whatever goal I set out to complete.

 I've been to quite a few *blush* pole and lap dance classes, and Miss Selenia is my absolute, hands down, FAVORITE! She doesn't waste your time and her encouragement is GENUINE! Sara S - PPP Review on Yelp

 

Selenia is such an amazing teacher & dancer!  her style makes me feel sexy & strong, and I always leave feeling confident and ready to take on the day. Becca B - 

 

Selenia is awesome!!  Took my first pole class with her a few weeks ago and had a great time! She really helps make you feel comfortable and the vibe is really nice.  I went with a friend who had pole class experience from other places and she too enjoyed the Luscious Maven experience! Monique L. - PinkPoleParty Review on Yelp

 

Miss Selenia is fantastic! I would have to agree that she really makes you feel at ease and creates an environment in which you can learn and have fun while also feeling really good about yourself. I look forward to attending more classes where she is the instructor. While I have not yet been to one of her Pink Pole Parties, I plan on attending one in the future. It is such a great idea for such a great cause. How can you go wrong? Megan M - PinkPoleParty Review on Yelp

 

"I've taken classes at Luscious Maven. All the instructors are fantastic but Miss Selenia is my favorite. My classes with her are so awesome. She really works with you to bring out your inner dancer personality. Regardless of your skill level, you leave class feeling sexy, sensuous and empowered. The extra benefit is Selenia supports breast cancer research which is something near and dear to my heart. It feels good to support someone who supports causes I believe in." Tracie T -PinkPoleParty Review on Yelp

 

"I have been taking pole classes for two consecutive years. It is in this, that I met the owner of PinkPoleParty, Miss Selenia. I can't say enough about our love/hate relationship when it comes to her teachings. She is excellent. No, SHE IS EXCELLENT!! Her attitude is amazing and her push for her students to do better is why I have a love/hate relationship for her teaching. See, it's not Miss Selenia, it's me. I DETEST working out and sweating. At the same time, I detest more when I miss a class with Miss Selenia. She will definitely work up a sweat.

Having Miss Selenia as a teacher has definitely increased my discipline levels to above average when I had no discipline level at all. Her "forever happy" attitude is infectious. Her kindred spirit is why I nicknamed her "Kitten," and I don't even like domestic animals. Kittens are quite adorable though, thus it was the most befitting nickname. 

Her style of teaching is simple to describe, "Athletically Sexy." She exudes a sexual confidence in every move taught with a serious athletic overtone, not undertone. Watching her teach, you can't help but WANT to learn whatever move she just perfected or created in some cases. I have been in a few classes where she's surprised herself. Her "fake it til you make it," motto is quite encouraging to some of her less advanced students, such as myself." Tonya T - PinkPoleParty Review on Yelp
