Pole Dance is about feeling free

This is a space for curious humans who are tired of perfection, hungry for freedom, and ready to take up a little more space in the world.

Hi, I'm Camilla 👋

Molly Pretzel is my rebellious alter ego — the part of me that refuses to shrink, wait for permission, or play by rules that were never made for us in the first place.

Through dance, movement, workshops, performance, and online teaching, I create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, discover joy in movement, and remember that they don't have to become someone else to belong.

Because dance was never supposed to be about proving your worth. It was supposed to help you feel alive.

And I'd love for you to join me.

My philosophy

You don't need to be good at dancing to dance.

You don't need the "right" body.
You don't need confidence.
You don't need experience.
You don't need permission.

You just need a willingness to show up.

I created this space for the people who have spent too much of their lives believing they were too much, not enough, too old, too awkward, too inexperienced, too different, or simply not the kind of person who belongs in dance spaces.

Because that's bullshit.

Dance doesn't belong to a select few. Dance belongs to all of us.

The Values Behind Everything I Do

Freedom Over Perfection

You don't have to earn your place here.

Curiosity Over Judgment

There is no right way to explore movement.

Courage Over Confidence

Confidence isn't a prerequisite.
Sometimes confidence is what grows after you've dared to show up.

Authenticity Over Performance

Your experience matters more than how it looks from the outside.

What Molly Pretzel Is Really About

This isn't about perfect technique. It's not about looking impressive. It's not about getting every move right. It's about freedom.

The freedom to move.
The freedom to take up space.
The freedom to make mistakes.
The freedom to be seen.
The freedom to choose yourself.

Every class, workshop, performance, and online space I create is built around one simple belief:

You are already enough to begin.

Instagram comment praising an instructor for a positive, energizing class experience, mentioning warm-ups and playful energy.
Social media comment praising Molly for her dance workshops, mentioning a flow lab workshop as their favorite, and expressing sadness about not living in Denmark.
Screenshot of a social media comment praising Molly for her teaching style during a workshop, describing her as welcoming, clear, and inspiring.

BTW You're in Good Hands with me

While Molly Pretzel is built on freedom, play, and self-expression, my teaching is backed 20+ years of experience, training, and continuous learning.

I've been dancing for over 25 years, helping hundreds of students build confidence, strength, creativity, and trust in their own movement. Along the way, I've earned certifications in Pole Dance, Parkour, Dance and Life coaching, competed nationally and internationally, and received recognition through competition placements and awards among others 3xNational Pole Dance Champion and Winner of Pole Theatre World Pro Art.

But what matters most to me isn't what's hanging on the wall. It's creating spaces where people feel safe enough to explore, brave enough to try, and supported enough to grow.

Because great teaching isn't just about knowing the technique. It's about helping people discover what they're capable of.
