Vocalist Lenora Jaye

I would like to highlight a very beautiful, and talented vocalist, "Lenora Jaye. She has a new independently produced solo debut album "The Story"and continuing to work on more projects. Ms. Jaye has opened for acts like Teena Marie, Rodger Troutman & Zapp, Floetry, and more!

I had the pleasure of having her be the featured vocalist at me and my husband's fifth wedding annivesary celebration this past October 15, 2011. As the party began, her vocals penetrated through the swanky "Jazz Bar" (Big Cinemas South DeKalb Jazz Bar) as the crowd snapped their fingers, rocked back & forth, and felt the music. It was a night to remember as she graced our guests with her beautiful, and soulful voice. Also what made her perfomance so amazing was how she took us on a journey between each song, speaking of the power of Love (It made her performance even more meaningful). Lenora Jaye truely set the tone for our anniversary party as she sang some of me and my husbands favorite ballads, such as "Amazing" by Luther Vandross, "Sweetest Thing" by Lauren Hill, and more! My guests continued to speak of her musical talent long after our anniversary party.


I look foward to working with her again for future events and I highly recommend her to any of my clients. Not only was Lenora Jaye a talented singer, but she is so humble, down to earth, and has a wonderful spirit.

The studio was full of booming music, candle light, pink & black decor, rose petals, and a perfect enviroment to Pole Dance! As each guest arrived chocolate covered strawberries awaited, light hor deourves, specialty drinks at the bar, and night full of pole dancing! Most of the ladies were new to learning all the fancy moves on the pole, so it was quite an experience for all the ladies!

The ladies of "My Pole Fitness" started the Pole Party off with a BANG! Twirling, flipping, fast spins, and bold moves was the kick-off of the party as they broke the ladies in with performance to remember. The ladies were then instructed on begginer moves, spins, and tricks! The pole party was full fitness, fun, and bringing the sexier side out of these young ladies. As the party came to a end the ladies checked out the vendors, shopping and mingling.


One of the big highlights of the night was the raffle to win a Dancer Pole from "Pure Romance" (valued at $179.00) which "Kat Williams" director http://www.kattoy.com/ organized this grand raffle for this event! The lucky young lady was Rikki Johnson ! It was fun to give this pole away!!!!
