Zoraya Judd
USPDF Pro
Z says, "My first competition was "Miss Pole Fetish Utah 2009." I
placed 1st in the advanced division. Shortly after, I was one of the
12 girls chosen to compete in USPDF West Coast Regional 2009
Competition, where I received my "Pro Status." Competing became
addicting and nerve racking at the same time. Other competitions I
have done are Vertical Pole Challenge, where I secured myself a
spot in the Finale, and USPDF National Championship 2010 in the
Pro Division. I have performed with Jenyne Butterfly, who has been
a big inspiration and coach to me as has Felix Cane who I have
also performed. Felix Cane and I just recently got done teaching
duo workshops and privates in Southern California."
Zoraya's goal is to continue to show people the fitness side of pole.
She absolutely loves everything that has to do with pole, But for her
it is the strength, control and flexibility that she finds so beautiful
and intriguing.
