ODETTE

Odette's pole dancing addiction began during a bachelorette weekend in 2010. She returned home, took her first class at Brass Ovaries, and struggled to move the next day! She quickly bought a pole and started training almost daily, discovering it to be an exhilarating and freeing experience that also served as physical and mental therapy during difficult times. She credits pole dancing to her transformation into the strong, confident woman she is today.

Odette competed in her first competition as a Miss Texas Pole Star Fitness Category Finalist in 2012. She has also won numerous competitions as a doubles partner in Duo Et Cetera, including the 2014 Miss Texas Pole Star Doubles Winner, the 2014 United Pole Artists Video Challenge Doubles Winner, the 2013 Capital of Texas Pole Championship Partners Pole 1st Runner Up, and the 2013 Miss Texas Pole Star Doubles 1st Runner Up.

Odette is happiest when she helps others achieve their own pole goals. She began instructing in 2012 and is certified in XPERT Pole Fitness, Spin City Anatomy & Physiology Foundations, Spin City Stretch & Flexibility, Spin City Pole Fabric, TriggerPoint Foam Rolling, and Kinesiological Stretching Technique.
