Noel
Noel is a second-generation Japanese-American dancer from Birmingham, Alabama. With a background in classical music, her practice is defined by nuanced musicality and an affinity for crafting intimate, moody atmospheres. She draws inspiration from moments when dancers transcend the physical and alchemize their movement into something deeper. Her philosophy is to embody bold, shameless expression and fully embrace the pleasure of movement.
Having had no prior dance experience before starting pole, Noel understands what it means to begin from scratch. She approaches instruction in a gentle, intuitive manner to build strong foundations while fostering a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Passionate about strengthening the relationship between mind, body, and movement, she loves to help students cultivate confidence and fluidity in their own practices.
