Laura Ayoub, also referred to as "Loly" or "Loly Pole" reminds me of what JLO famously said: life’s a party make it hot! Laura left a 10+year career in the hospitality industry after falling in love with pole dancing on a bachelorette trip in the south of France. Listen to how she has since not only taken up the sport but has become a pole ambassador not only in Lebanon where she is based, but throughout the MENA region. She tells me about how pole is a discipline that is not only extremely addictive, but how it has this great than power to connect you to your sensuality-and empowers you to be your most confident and badass self! And if this PSA is even necessary: Pole dancing ≠ stripping!
