Meet Coach Bree: Medal Queen. Technique Whisperer. Handstand Addict. With over 35 years of gymnastics, acro, and dance experience (and a resume that belongs in the Pole Hall of Fame), Coach Bree is what we call the real deal. She’s traveled the world, trained with the best (hello, Dmitry Politov in Turkey 2024), judged world championships, and mentored athletes across continents.Her pole IQ? Off the charts. Bree doesn’t just understand movement—she sees it at the micro level. If a trick isn’t hitting, she’ll tell you exactly why and how to fix it, often before you even realize something’s off. Her spotting skills? Legendary. Her energy? Equal parts fierce and hilarious.Oh—and the medals?
