Natalie Leworthy

Natalie has owned Urban Circus Pole & Aerial Studios based in North Yorkshire for over a decade. She first tried pole as an act of rebellion at the age of 17 and was trained up as instructor within a few short months. She had a back ground in martial arts and so was attracted to the strength side of the sport much more so than the dance or performance aspect. However like most, she now loves every part and is living proof that anyone can do pole and aerial – dance background or not!

She is a level 4 personal trainer and practicing sports therapist specialising in pre and postnatal rehabilitation and lower back pain management. Natalie’s love lies in the technical, anatomical and science side of pole and aerial and this comes across in her instruction style. She’s also the very proud mother of two beautiful (and cheeky) girls and had the pleasure of writing the XPERT pre & postnatal course.
