Meet the Team
Missy
Instructor
Missy started pole fitness in June 2007 and became an instant believer, supporter and lover of the exercise. She was hooked after her first spin! Missy is a certified pole instructor, personal trainer and lyra (aerial hoop) instructor. Missy takes pride in being involved with pole fitness and the pole community. She has thoroughly enjoyed the positive impact and loves to share the passion with other ladies.
Evelyn
Instructor
Evelyn started dancing in Northern Virginia at the age of 3 and instantly fell in love. As she grew older she expanded her knowledge and love for dance by joining her studio’s competition team. She was chosen from her studio to tap in the Boscov’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia and performed with the Manassas Ballet Company in her later teens. After graduating from high school Evelyn went to Virginia Intermont College where she graduated with her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts majoring in Dance in 2007.
After graduation she began teaching dance to children as young as 18 months all the way to grandmas and grandpas throughout Virginia. In 2014 Evelyn spotted a photo of her friend on the pole and thought ‘I maybe.. might.. be able to do that’ and took her first class. That first class made her feel empowered! It didn’t take long for her to combine her years of dance training and newfound style and start competing once again. Shortly after she taught her first beginner pole class.
Evelyn is thrilled to be a part of the DDF family and share her joy for dance with her students. She hopes each student leaves class feeling as empowered as she does.
Kathy
Instructor
Kathy is an XPERT Certified Pole Instructor and Body by Fran Certified Pole Strength and Conditioning Specialist that started her pole fitness journey in November 2019. She loves exploring all of the different styles of pole dance, but tricks and flips are her passion. Kathy’s fitness journey all started with Shaun T’s Insanity workout program which ignited her love for fitness in 2012. After years of doing at home workouts, she decided to give a group pole class a try. Since taking her first step into Dazzling Divas, she was hooked. It was unlike anything she had experienced before and felt empowered leaving her first class. She loves the confidence and strength she has gained through pole dance and how it caters to so many different styles ranging from sporty to sensual. DDF and the pole community have become a major part of her life and she is excited to help others learn and grow in their journey.
Milissa
Instructor and DEO (Diva Everything Officer!)
Milissa started her pole fitness journey at DDF in 2008. She was immediately addicted to this new workout and couldn’t believe how much progress she and her fellow students made with the guidance of many amazing instructors. Milissa loved the supportive, non-competitive environment and the friendships that developed as a result of sharing this journey.
In October 2019 Milissa embarked on another leg of her journey when she became the new “Queen Diva” at DDF! She is honored to continue this incredible studio and true community, and is excited to see what the future holds as she and the phenomenal DDF staff guide women to empowerment through pole and aerial fitness!

Lisa
Instructor
As a former ballet dancer and touring metal vocalist, Lisa was drawn to the mix of grace and power she saw in pole fitness. She has always loved a good challenge, and pole definitely looked to be one! After the birth of her second daughter in 2020, Lisa decided to finally give pole fitness a try. She fell in love with pole during her very first class at Dazzling Diva Fitness. Pole is a wonderfully empowering experience, complete with the satisfaction of accomplishing new pole tricks/spins and gaining strength every class. Lisa is so excited to be an instructor with DDF! She looks forward to sharing her passion for pole, as well as supporting men & women on their pole journey!

She immediately became an advocate for all the benefits of pole fitness and loved working towards perfecting her craft. Throughout the years, she’s loved seeing everyone progress in their journey, but her biggest inspiration has been her aunt and fellow instructor, Jenn. The love for pole is in the family! Now, Allison is excited to join our team of instructors and enjoys helping new students find their passion, just as she did.

Testimonials
I can’t sing the praises of this studio enough. I started at almost 64 years old and it’s almost 5 years later. I’ve NEVER stuck with a fitness program this long. Many of the same people are still there and some have been there even longer!
Think you’re too weak, too old or too overweight? Never! There’s no judgement, expectations or pressure. You’re not competing with anybody. It’s your journey and they are just there to support you!
Videos and pictures you might see are what people have been working on for months, sometimes years. They’re not showing off, they’re proud!
It’s FUN because it’s always something different. There’s always new things to learn, new challenges – unlike the same exercises week after week at the gym.
Nobody walks in being able to do all the things! There are little accomplishments almost every class. Something you couldn’t do the week or month before. And when that happens, EVERYBODY celebrates! Come try a class and see for yourself!
– Patty
“I started at Dazzling Divas almost 2 years ago and it was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. This is a fantastic workout no matter what level you’re starting at!! YOU DON’T ALREADY HAVE TO BE STRONG TO START!! So many people think that. You start wherever you are at and I promise you, you’ll see results in a few weeks! I also cant say enough about the atmosphere. Of course the instructors are all amazing, but literally every woman in there is routing for you! When someone is working on a move and they finally get it, we’re all as excited as she is!! Everyone is encouraging, kind, supportive and just wonderful. I’ve made so many friends here!! This is my second home and I’m always so glad a friend asked me to go with her my first time!”
– Jennifer M.
What’s to love about Dazzling Diva Fitness you ask? Is it the extended family you will find? Is it the friendships of a lifetime that you’ll make? Is it the self confidence that you never knew you could find that it’ll bring out? The answer is all of those things and more. Dazzling Diva is an amazing place that you will look forward to coming to. It’s a place that will make you feel like you can do everything that you thought you could never do. When I began I would have told you that I had absolutely no chance of being able to do any of the things on the pole that you see those professionals doing, but boy was I wrong. I couldn’t do a push-up much less lift myself upside down and do what I would have called “crazy things” but with the help from the amazing instructors who believed that I COULD do those things…I CAN! It’s a crazy ride going from completely incapable to empowered and more than capable. It’s a group of people that support you, care about you and cheer you on. I’ve never been around more supportive people anywhere else, ever. It’s clean, beautiful and just all around amazing. Give it a try. You’ll never regret it.
– a Diva
“For me pole fitness means I get to awaken my soul. I took my first class in November of 2018, almost a year later it’s hard to imagine what my life was like before. I was captured by the way I felt inside, I wanted to keep feeling that. Before I started I wasn’t confident in my body or my mind. I always struggled with working out and sticking to a routine. Stepping through those doors became the game changer for me. Currently not only am I thankful for the journey I am now on in my training but also for Dazzling Diva Fitness. All of the staff and ladies who are on their own personal journeys are extraordinary. DD is a home away from home for all of us in our own way! This place is a sanctuary for many things, it’s a release of emotion, a home of goals and most importantly to me a family.Come be a part of this sanctuary, you’re sure to feel weightless. Join us today!”
Much love, Bridget
I love Dazzling Divas! The instructors are all phenomenal and I always leave class feeling empowered and ready to tackle the rest of the day. I’ve been a dancer my whole life but this studio has made me feel more confident than ever. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been after two kids. I can honestly say I love my body and I have everyone in this studio to thank for making it a safe and positive environment!
