Finding technique in ballroom dance initially, Jakub smashed magically into our lives with a generous serving of flow, heels and in unstoppable quick whit. Co-owner of Leeds Pole Dance, competitor, judge, compare and instructor, Jakub worked his way through leading Polish Competitions (the country he was born), and then into the UK scene. In this episode the quality of judging comes into conversation...how it feels to be one, how we‘ve been confused about some reactions in the past, and how to take in on the shoulder and move on.
