I m a Pastor Who Runs a Pole Dancing School Diane Martin On 4/17/21 at 9:46 AM EDT
I was ordained in 2004 and I served as a pastor in a church within that denomination for four years. Then, a family crisis led to my husband and me moving from Wisconsin to Colorado, where our adult children lived.
I was then in-between churches and in an interesting, risk-taking place in my life. I wanted to try something outside-the-box, and, maybe because it was considered risque and unexpected, pole dancing appealed to me. It felt a little bit naughty. I was paralyzed for a whole summer when I was 14 with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. So, to have recovered to a point where I was even able to try pole dancing was beyond anything I could have imagined.
“Love at first spin:” Pastor discovers love for pole dancing, shares with community
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) I smiled from ear to ear, and for the next few days, I felt like a kid with a secret, said Diane Martin, remembering her first pole dancing class.
She had discovered a newfound passion, a hobby that she s been a trailblazer for in the Pikes Peak region.
That was more than 13 years ago, but she details her first class vividly, saying, I had never really been in shape and I was a bit older than most of the other students in my class. In spite of all that, I fell in love with pole on my first spin.
