Studio X is pleased to welcome Rachel Bagnulo a guest instructor from Charlottesville known as the "original" lap dance and exotic dance instructor in the Charlottesville and Harrisonburg area.
Rachel, or "Akasha", began taking pole classes in 2006. At the time, she was a size 14, married, working at a desk job, and not feeling particularly great about herself. She found pole dancing was a great way to exercise and lose the weight she wanted to lose ? today she is a size 6! Not only did she lose weight, but she feels more confident, has a stronger relationship with her husband and friends, and has a higher self esteem. While she loved pole dancing, she began to explore other arenas of "sexy" dancing. She studied the intimate art of lap dancing, exotic dancing (striptease), burlesque, chair dancing and fan dancing with professional dancers from across the country. She was then asked to develop an exotic and lap dance curriculum for another studio and successfully taught hundreds of "everyday women" how to find their sexy side for 2 years. Rachel believes that all women, no matter what their size or age, are entitled to feel sexy. She has found the exotic and pole dance has helped empower her and make her feel more confident and believes that it can help many women. She believes that all women possess the ability to learn this type of dance, as she herself was not a "classically trained" dancer. |

What do Rachel's students have to say about her workshops?
I have learned so much from you over the past year. Not only the art of exotic dance, but also how to be comfortable with myself...I have enjoyed being in your classes, and I can't imagine having anyone but you for exotic dance. -D.S. |
I have come to love my Tuesday "ME night." I go to class and take care of myself for a change instead of my family. Rachel never criticizes us, she highlights our good attributes and makes suggestions on how to improve. I finally feel like I belong somewhere. I have something that I'm "into" and who cares if I'm good at it or not. Rachel empowers me to feel sexy for my husband. I trust and respect her.
-J.B. Rachel truly provides a personal experience that is both challenging and exciting. -A.P. |
Rachel has made this (class) time something I look forward to every week. She is an excellent
instructor. She is always willing to take time to make sure you understand everything, and tries to explain things in
different ways until you understand. Her easy going spirit makes it a place where I feel completely comfortable to let
my guard down...She has a way of making everyone comfortable no matter the
situation. I LOVE her lapdance classes.
