Shelbi grew up with dance as part of her daily life in her early childhood while dancing traditional hula and performing with her local halau. Later on in life Shelbi found dance again but this time in the form of pole dance. She attended her first class in 2012 in El Paso Texas and was immediately hooked!
Shelbi loves pole because it made her stronger than she's ever been both physically and mentally. Pole dance allowed her to appreciate her own personal strength and helped her get through many tough times. She soon decided that she wanted to become a professional pole fitness instructor.
In 2014 Shelbi moved to Austin Tx and gained her instructor certification from Discoveries Dance (ACE, AFAA, PFA, and PDC approved) in 2015. She teaches small private lessons and groups as well as larger classes to all levels of pole dancers. She loves encouraging her fellow woman and helping everyone feel strong, beautiful, and sexy! Her darker edge and fiery style come out in every move and she aims to deliver a fun and challenging class every time.
Shelbi is also a prominent solo performer in Austin Texas. She has worked with many production groups performing in variety shows, pole shows, and sensual showcases regularly since 2016. She has also dabbled in some competitions in the Exotic and Artistic categories.
Shelbi plays many roles among the pole community and enjoys being a part of some amazing teams outside of VAMPS. Shelbi is proud to be part of the United Pole Artist team as an Ambassador, staff Artist for Twisted Movement, a Brand Ambassador for Butter & Filth, and a Brand Ambassador for PediPleasers.
