Juliana, who graduated from Vilnius University with a degree in economics and has been working steadily for many years in one of the largest Lithuanian banks, stands out for the fact that she was not at all interested in any other sport before pole dancing. True, she liked physical education classes at school, but like most students, the Vilnius native strongly disliked long-distance running. During her studies, the girl developed a passion for table tennis ("I would shoot with my friends during elective lectures to the music of "Rammstein", and the music folder on the computer was called - Tennis idols music...").

 Juliana remembers that she was introduced to pole dancing by a friend who was attending a studio in Kaunas at the time and who constantly talked about how difficult but very interesting it was to do all sorts of figures, how the trainers helped her to perform tricks so that later she could hardly understand how to get back from them. In the end, curiosity overcame timidity and the girl decided to find a place where she could try pole dancing in Vilnius. "So at the end of April 2017, I showed up for training, and being fascinated by the newly discovered sport, I brought my friend to the second or third lesson to try it. The feelings, when I first started attending, can be described with two emoticons: Oh! and Wheeeeee! The first is when something unusual and new comes out. The second is when you have fun twisting or doing a fun movement. These two emoticons still accompany me now... Of course, there were others - more serious ones too," Juliana says, smiling.

 The girl, who has achieved impressive results in stretching & flexibility in her first few years, is admired by those around her and is living proof that with hard work, consistent work and without losing motivation, everything is possible, not just split or middle split. In her free time, Juliana combines seemingly incompatible things - she has been a member of the VU girls' choir "Virgo" for more than a decade and actively participates in concert programs. When asked about her dreams, she surprises a little with her openness: "I would like pole dancing to no longer be viewed stereotypically and through the prism of conservative morality. And for the world to be happier..."
