Amy Guion is the definition of girl next door meets pole dancing. Fun-loving, smart, sweet and unassuming, you will be mesmerized by Amy from your very first class.  Amy's love of dance started classically as a ballet dancer from the early age of 7 - and so did the realization that she was NOT naturally flexible. Where most girls had their splits in all directions, Amy had to work very hard at stretching for nearly 9 years before she was able to achieve her splits at the age of 16. As a result of this experience, Amy has since created a DVD series entitled "Bendability" to address not only flexibility, but strength and conditioning training, too.  Amy works regularly with Leigh Ann Orsi of BeSpun in Los Angeles, managing the studio and also instructing there. She has competed in many national and international competitions, performed with the Girl Next Door show in Los Angeles and does dance wear modeling for Kelly Maglia Couture and Triple Threat Dancewear. She recently earned professional status by the US Pole Dance Federation by placing 2nd in the USPDF national competition.  Amy is an AFAA certified group fitness instructor as well as a master trainer for the X-Pert training program.

Alysia is also a composer for the Earth Harp Collective, which recently was awarded 3rd place on America's Got Talent. She performs her original music and aerial dance with the group. Alysia has also worked with Lucent Dossier, Insomniac Events, Kaya Experience, CATastrophe Fire Dance and Entertainment, Opulent Temple, Fire N Ice Entertainment and for numerous other groups and private parties.  A dreamer, lover, artist and all around performer, she is a spectacular creature to behold and looks forward to teaching you glorious movement through aerial arts and dance.
