Ann M. Huddock is the Founder and Owner of Spinning Sirens Pole & Aerial Fitness, LLC in Apple Valley. A lifelong fitness enthusiast with several professional certifications, she discovered pole in 2023 and quickly fell in love with its blend of strength, artistry, and expressive movement. Deeply obsessed with the circus arts, Ann is drawn to the athletic precision and creative possibilities found in aerial disciplines. A self-proclaimed “trickster,” she is fascinated by the technical architecture of movement—how the body intelligently enters, stabilizes, and exits intricate shapes. Her passion for organizing the ever-expanding vocabulary of pole led her to create the Siren Skill Tracker App and author All The Tricks, tools designed to help students and instructors navigate skills with clarity, structure, and respect for proper progressions. Ann’s teaching philosophy emphasizes safety, intelligent sequencing, and honoring the roots of the art form while still encouraging individuality and bold self-expression. She is also a proud mom of seven, balancing family life with studio ownership, writing, and daily training. At her core, Ann’s mission is to help people experience joy in movement, build real strength, and feel powerful in their bodies—on and off the apparatus.
