Our momma cat and founder, CD has been teacher and mentor to almost all faculty at Polecats Manila. Her classes focus on pole fundamentals and foundations: what you need to understand to move smarter. Always exploring movement techniques on the pole, on the floor, and on a chair, Teacher CD bases her lessons on physics and anatomy, to better explain and teach. Bonus: There's always a little sexiness thrown in as well! 

Teacher CD is also the Artistic Director of the company, and co-created the Polecats Manila Instructor Qualification Program. 

When she isn't at the studio creating dance steps and signature moves, she is drawing. She is currently working on projects to combine her drawing and dancing practice.
