Nusha Mistry

Nusha Mistry teaches Pole, Sensual Pole Choreo and Aerial Hoop at London Dance Academy. She was crowned the winner of Exotic Generation, the UK’s highly competitive New Face category in 2019.

Nusha started practicing pole in 2012, long before it was a common offering at gyms or university societies. She first gave it a go whilst studying at Oxford University, when lessons were held in a small events room above a pub. Becoming hooked from the first class after “feeling like she could fly”, and loving “the inclusive, sexy vibe of the studio”, Nusha went on to become the first person ever to represent Oxford University in a pole dancing competition!

In 2019, Nusha moved to Buenos Aires to learn Spanish and train aerial hoop at Club de trapecistas. She is especially proud of the amazing skills she learnt and fabulous relationships that she made there with fellow aerialists, as well as a cabaret hoop performance that she performed there which incorporated lots of what she loves from pole, hoop and sensual movement all in one show.

Over all these years of training, Nusha says the most important things pole dance and hoop has brought to her life are “friends, passion, self care, confidence and a lot of creativity and laughter!”

Classes at London Dance Academy

As a teacher, Nusha’s classes have a focus on technique as well as self expression and enjoyment. She loves sharing an enthusiasm for pole with her students. She says there is nothing better than watching her students progress and develop their own style of movement.
