Stunning Yale theatre graduate thrives with pole dancing company, details how craft helped with mental health
In more related news, Briefly News previously reported that a stunning graduate from Yale University is absolutely flourishing with her pole dancing and body movement business, called Mind, Body, Spirit Collective (MBSC) which she started in July 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Los Angeles-based Cami Árboles, who had her official physical graduation in May of this year, said she was very depressed during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and that is when she decided to really get into pole dancing.
While the young babe had taught yoga and pole dancing classes during her time at Yale, the lockdown made her even more passionate about the craft and she started giving lessons on Instagram, Refinery29 wrote. The young woman, who initially registered for a pre-med program, decided to follow her passion and study theatre, completing her course in 2020.
