Mizhani Movements Winter Issue 72 | Page 14

Mizhani Movement is an American fitness instructor best known as the founder of Mizhani Pole Fitness , a class that encourages women to get in shape through pole dancing . The class embarked on a highly successful , 50-city U . S . tour in 2016 . Natural Woman was on the scene at one of her pole classes held in Cincinnati , Ohio . And boy was it a workout !! Mizhani took us through the basics of core training , maintaining balance , and of course , remaining feminine . After class , I had an opportunity to speak with Mizhani about her class and her upcoming endeavors .
A : How did Mizhani come to be ?
Mizhani : I started dancing when I was 19 . I was thin and athletic so I studied the pole . I moved to Miami at the age of 19 and started dancing at the King of Diamonds club . Then one day I was scheduled to perform at a club in Tallahassee and I decided to teach a class . My first class had about 8 to 9 girls and Mizhani Pole fitness was birthed .
A : Now after taking your class I am tired and my abs are sore . I thought this was going to be a fun thing , but it ' s really a workout , and I ' m not complaining because I needed all of it . But one thing that stood out to me during your class was when you expressed to us the importance of remaining feminine . Most women who are professional dancers now lack feminity when it comes to adult entertainment . Everything is about twerking and not seduction . Can you elaborate on that some more ?
Mizhani : I wouldn ' t say women don ' t know how to be seductive , we all have the desire within us to seduce . And to use our feminine power . Now from my observation because I haven ' t danced in over 3 years the desire is more moneydriven . Everything is about making money so the desire to be feminine is gone . It ' s about fast money and no longer fun . But that ' s my opinion .
Mizhani is currently on tour teaching pole and dance classes . Be sure to catch her upcoming classes in Jacksonville , Florida , and Las Vegas in December .
