Victoria Bowden

Meet Victoria Bowden.

Senior Aerial Instructor

Victoria’s aerial journey started  in 2008 when Vicky & friend attended a pole and burlesque taster evening for a bit of fun and to try something different.

Vicky says “I wasn’t quite confident enough to get my legs out and wear shorts for the pole, so just rolled up my tracksuit bottoms as high as I possibly could.

It was such a fun night – I LOVED IT!”

There after I was hooked and joining regular Blush Dance classes in pole, burlesque and street dance – in my shorts!

It is a really lovely and uplifting atmosphere to walk into with absolutely no judgement. Instead you only find support and other people who build each other up. You’ll grow friendships whilst building strength, stamina flexibility, fitness and confidence as whole.

Over the years new aerial equipment was introduced to the studio – slings, hoop and silks, pole silks and cube – bringing new challenges and new skills.

I love helping others reach their goals, to challenge them and see them achieve things they didn’t think possible.

To see the joy and the little wins and the transformations, especially when they’ve worked so hard to conquer their personal goals. To see them thrive. It’s fasinating to me. 

I love to teach and motivate people to gain new skills, get fit and to help build confidence and character.

My background is training and competing in Rhythmic and Artistic gymnastics, which then lead me into a coaching career gaining various qualifications in the sports, thereafter allowing me to teach and share my passion and experience to the generations coming through.

Gymnastics is a core discipline that lends itself to aerial and pole fitness perfectly.

When I’m not working I LOVE to head outdoors and up into the hills to find fresh air and freedom. I do also love a good action packed adventure.

Blush is my extended family where we all love to dance and fly and get creative – and help and support others along the way!
