Sierra, a/k/a LOVE Bunny, started taking pole classes at LOVE in August of 2012. She had never taken dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, or any other sport, but after her very first class, she was hooked. It wasn't so much the dancing or performance part that she was drawn to, but the sisterhood. Having a sanctuary full of beautiful, strong and encouraging women, Sierra found she could feel comfortable with her body and learn how to own it. Shortly after, she found lyra (aerial hoop) and was fascinated by it.
Sierra entered her first pole competition at Supershag 2013 in Boston and again in 2014. She got her Lyra Certification in July of 2014. Sierra competed in the first lyra competition to come to Boston, thanks to Pole Sport Organization, where she placed second, and one of her very own students placed first! To her, that's the best part about teaching: watching her students surpass their own goals as they learn to fly.

In October of 2013, Sara tried pole fitness on a whim. Her very first class was at LPF, and it was love at first spin!

She leveled up in 2015, placing 5th of 11th at the 2015 NEAAC in the Level 3 Dramatic Senior category. Sara completed her X-Pert Pole Fitness Level 1 & 2 Instructor Training in November 2014.
