Posted by Destynnie Hall | COVID-19, Interviews

In this interview, we talk to Dre Dee of Darkside Fitness about her experience owning a studio, building it from the ground up, and the struggles of owning your own business.

We also discuss several relief options that are open to studio owners, including grants that can help them pay expenses – such as payroll – while they are closed, as well as personal safety during the pandemic.

About The Author

Destynnie Hall

Destynnie first discovered and began pole dancing in November of 2017 after moving to Providence, RI. As a full-time director of the copywriting and marketing division of her business, she fell in love with pole dancing as a way to incorporate movement and personal expression into her daily routine. While she does not come from any dance background, she has trained and competed in gymnastics as well as Shorin-Ryu martial arts, giving her a love of proper technique and a solid understanding of body mechanics. When she wasn’t training, she could be found listening to music or participating in an arrangement of other hobbies such as botany, gardening, and visual arts.
