Lily Sweet is a Bay Area native and began pole dancing with Twirly Studios in 2017. She is delighted to be back on the pole after taking almost a year off in 2020, and to be performing in Bliss Dance Festival again. As a dancer, her inspirations are her lifelong love of heavy metal and punk rock, an obsession with hyperfeminine Barbie Doll aesthetics, and of course her main inspiration is the strippers who originally created pole dance as an art form and made it accessible to non-strippers. She is constantly exploring her own dance style and signature moves, and enjoys expressing other aspects of her creativity by playing guitar and cooking recipes from all over the world. Lily would like to thank everyone watching Bliss Dance Festival for joining her in her fantasy world, and to give special thanks to April Haze for coaching.
