Description

How does the way you move evolve with you?

From training with English National Ballet to becoming the pole dancing face of Nike, Burberry and British Vogue, Leila Davis a.k.a. Cutie Whippingham is one of the biggest movers and shakers in the UK pole scene. We talk about moving between dance disciplines, the magic of collaborating with other QTBPOC artists, and changing the game by founding Blackstage Pole: a Black, Queer, Sex Worker-led showcase creating opportunities for BPOC dancers in response to the lack of diversity in the pole industry.
