Vikki Venom
Flexibility & Pole Dance Instructor
Vikki is a pole dancer and baby contortionist with a love for all things upside down and bendy. She has since performed and competed across the UK; heel banging and hair whipping from Pandora's Box in Ireland, to the Edinburgh Fringe, to Carnival of Carnage here in Glasgow.
A shameless geek, she spent the next few years learning from as many pole, aerial and contortion teachers as she could, both on and offline. Since initially qualifying as a flexibility teacher in 2022, she has since also gained both pole & hoop qualifications. She now teaches flexibility three times a week, as well as regularly teaching pole and aerial.
Her favourite thing to stretch is anything back bendy; and you can often find her channelling her inner donut. Once described as having "Spongebob energy", Vikki very much looks forward to bringing her usual pep and cheer to Thursday flex classes - hopefully making the weird and wonderful positions we put ourselves into a little more bearable!
She is available for private lessons and you can find her teaching flexibility on a Thursday at 7:05pm
