Welcome to our Student Spotlight series, where each month we showcase one of our fabulous pole dance or aerial arts students!
We are nothing without our vibrant community and the dedicated, hard-working people who comprise it—so we're directing the spotlight to the faces and stories that make what we do possible.
This month, meet Marcus!
We asked Marcus to answer some questions about his pole dance journey and his time at Luna, as well as some fun facts about him.
1. When did you start pole dancing?
Around late March/early April 2024
2. What is your favorite part about being at Luna?
Everyone is so welcome, kind, and supportive. Teachers and students alike.
3. What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far in your pole journey?
Trying to reclaim some of my flexibility from when I was young to try and pull off some really bendy moves.
4. What is your favorite part of every class?
I always enjoy warming up to really just stretch my body and become liber. Gets the blood flowing and easier to exert control when poling.
5. Current favorite move?
Toss up between an Ayesha and a Jade Split.
6. Current nemesis move?
Twisted sister (depends on the day)
7. What is your next goal in pole dancing?
Working on flows and combos

Lounging around in bed absorbing copious amounts of hours of YouTube
9. What’s your proudest moment or favorite memory while pole dancing?
Being part of the fall showcase and being able to show my family my progress.
10. Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I have 3 nasty older brothers.
Thanks, Marcus, for introducing yourself! We look forward to highlighting more of the incredible students and instructors that make up the Luna family!
