Our team

ELIESE

I am Eliese, the owner and founder of Body Pole Mind. In addition to running the studio, I work as a psychologist. I am trained as a yoga teacher at AALO Yoga Academy and as a pole dance Instructor at Paaldansschool Leiden.
With my studio I want to offer you a warm and accepting community where everyone can be themselves without being judged.
In my classes I teach all the different aspects of pole such as strengthening, tricks, spins, floorwork and choreography. In addition, my goal is that everyone has fun while training, that your self-confidence increases and you gain more confidence in your own body.

MAGDALENA

Hi! I’m Magdalena. I first started pole dance about 12 years ago. I teach pole and exotic with great pleasure for around 9 years, I am also a certified personal trainer.
I love the process of creating ,teaching and dancing choreographies. Flowing movement is where the soul speaks through the body, and where the real strength begins.
The thing I like the most about teaching is being able to see all the amazing transformations my students are going through. Tapping into full potential and helping to realise how much power lays within

NADINE

Hi everyone! I’m Nadine. I started pole dancing over 10 years ago and was immediately hooked. The past few years have been a bit crazy due to corona and my pregnancy, but I am super happy to be able to rebuild everything at BPM! In daily life I work as a psychologist in an addiction clinic for personality problems. In addition, I am also busy at home with my 1.5-year-old daughter!

CHELSEA

Hi everyone! I’m Chelsea and I’ve been teaching at BPM since February 2023. Four years ago I started pole dancing and I can say with certainty that I have found my passion! In addition to pole dancing, I like to do calisthenics and fitness. In daily life I work as a dietician and I am involved in healthy food in company restaurants. I hope to meet you all soon in my class, I’m really looking forward to it!

NOAM

Hello, I’m Noam. I’m a certified fitness and pole trainer, and I’ve been teaching since 2022. My journey into pole dancing was inspired by my childhood love for ballet and a desire to reconnect with movement in a more expressive way. I am passionate about strength, technique, and the ability to express ourselves through movement. Alongside teaching, I also train and compete in pole art, which continues to challenge me and inspire my growth. For me, pole is where movement meets art. I’m here to guide you in your pole journey, helping you build strength, confidence, and discover your own movement style.

ISABEL

Hi, I’m Isabel.

My whole life revolves around poledance, sports, movement and health.

I am a physiotherapist, poledance instructor, coach & performer.

And soon to be an officially certified national championships coach aswell.

I’m looking forward to helping you to achieve your goals. My main focus points are injury prevention and teaching you the right techniques in detail. I don’t believe in an one size fits all approach. I consider what YOU need and give you personalised excercises accordingly.

LOLA

Hi! I’m Lola. I’ve been practicing pole dancing since 2020 and teaching since 2023. In 2025, I placed 3rd at the Dutch National Pole Dancing Championship in the Professional Pole Sport category.

Pole dancing is truly my passion, and I absolutely love teaching. I teach spinning pole classes that focus on elegant, fluid transitions and a variety of flexy tricks. Without even realizing it, you’ll also be building your stamina and strength along the way!

I’d love to invite you to come and try a spinning class with me.
