Episode 24: Confidence, Community, and Pole Dancing After 50

Welcome to Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, the podcast by GenX Pole Arts! I’m Zen (Nancy Adzentoivich), here to celebrate women over 40 finding strength, confidence, and community through pole dancing.

In this inspiring and down-to-earth episode, Buffy shares what it was like to step into a pole dance class for the first time at 54—and how it quickly turned into a powerful part of her life. From overcoming old injuries to rediscovering joy in movement and community, Buffy proves it’s never too late to try something new.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why pole dance feels so empowering—especially for Gen X and beyond
• How vulnerability, movement, and connection create a unique studio vibe
• Real talk on injuries, healing, and listening to your body
• Why stretching, warm-ups, and rest matter more with age
• What makes the pole community so welcoming (and different from gyms!)
