Born and raised on the east coast in a small town on the border of NH and MA, Priscilla began her love for flying when she started gymnastics at the late age of 13. She was so passionate about this that she quickly began competing and coaching a year later.
During her college education she tried many different types of fitness classes and styles such as Crossfit, Zumba, Spinning, and more. It wasn’t until she was living in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2015 when she discovered Pole Dance and Aerial and she immediately fell in love.

Sarah Yamamoto
Just a Hawaii girl, who made the big leap to Los Angeles for an education in engineering. She still managed to train her creative side with various dance styles while growing up. In 2013, Sarah was introduced to the world of pole dance during her search for aerial silks classes. While her contemporary dance training proved to be beneficial to aerial and pole dance, she still was challenged with a whole new realm of strength and flexibility. With these high-flying addictions, she has embraced a new perspective and respect for an underground community. Sarah has competed in various PSO competitions and performed throughout the years for pole dance. While an injury and life balances, she found her passion within which is teaching. She wanted to inspire others as her instructors had done for her. With the enjoyment of performing, instructing and learning, she is eager to embark on the new journey of bringing all the skills; pole dance, aerial hammock, lyra, & fire fans to performing.
