Vicky AKA Strawbs

Vicky founded Vixystrawberry in 2012, she is passionate about great technique, safety and body positivity. With a very wide range of expertise she is well equipped for students of all levels and abilities. Her background in Occupational Therapy creates a unique and holistic approach to teaching, with her classes doing more than just improving students’ fitness.

Vicky also competes nationally in both Exotic and Contemporary pole styles and holds the following titles:

Vicky began learning pole in March 2006, taking classes and then also dancing professionally in both clubs and at events. She started teaching pole parties in 2007, and on moving to Cardiff for university in 2009 was part of the founding committee for the Cardiff University Pole Society which has grown to be one of the biggest societies! Vicky’s love for pole grew as she found friends who became like family through the society, and when she finished university, setting up Vixystrawberry was the best kind of happy accident that fell into place mostly on its own.
