Intro to Pole
This is the perfect place to start if you have no pole dance experience. You’ll learn the foundational skills you need to feel comfortable in other beginner pole classes. This class is the same each time, and you can take it once, or as many times as you need to feel comfortable. It is not required before taking other pole dancing classes, but is recommended if your schedule allows.
Level 1
In this pole dance technique class, we’ll learn the foundational techniques for climbs, spins, and sits on the pole! Shorts are recommended for this class. This class is different every time, and you can expect to repeat it many times.

This class is a place to enjoy your pole dance skills through movement learning and experimentation. It is recommended that you take at least 3 other beginner pole classes, or have other relevant pole experience first, so that you have some experience to work with.

In this class we’ll learn the basics of floorwork to supplement your work on the pole. Please wear kneepads or leggings!
Beginner/Intermediate Low Flow
Balance out up-the-pole tricks with grounded movement on the floor and around the lower half of the pole. This class will allow you to explore your own flow through basic/intermediate-level floor-based tricks, transitions, shapes, and combos. Students will be able to increase their fluidity by incorporating these movements into their own dance. Leggings or kneepads recommended!
Level 2
In this pole dance technique class we’ll start working on longer combos and inverts while building stamina for climbing all the way up the pole. Students should be familiar with climbs, side climbs, basic spins, and sits.
Intermediate/Advanced Erotic Dance
This class takes us back to the roots of pole dancing. We will combine sexy, club-style moves with mainstream pole sport, creating an unstoppable wave of your personal style of sexy.
Don’t know what your sexy is? No worries. This class explores the many different definitions of that word. We will work to find what feels good in each of our bodies and how we feel most comfortable expressing it.
Intermediate/Advanced Low Flow

Open to all students! No experience necessary! Cross training is extremely important for both injury prevention and maximizing your skills in your pole dancing classes!
Intro to Handstands
Handstands are amazing conditioning for pole because it works on overhead pushing (which is often neglected in beginner pole training but becomes super important later on)! Balancing your pushing and pulling also prevents injuries!
This all levels class starts with a warmup and conditioning drills that will get you ready for headstands, forearm stands, handstands, and other floor balances.
Flexibility
Have you ever tried to get your splits by sitting in them for several minutes a day? PLEASE STOP! Our flex classes center active flexibility, which involves strengthening the proper muscles to support the bendy positions you dream of, and making you stronger AND more flexible at the same time.
We offer beginner flexibility, all levels flexibility, and int/adv flexibility. Students should have some experience training active flexibility before taking int/adv.
Pole Conditioning
This all levels conditioning class will combine on and off the pole drills to build the strength you need to take your pole skills to the next level! Only offered in-studio.
Strength and Conditioning
This strength-based class is offered online via Zoom to help you strengthen your pole skills and prevent muscle imbalances. No pole required.
Success In your first Class
Congrats on signing up for your first pole dance class! Starting something new can be intimidating, but also exciting, and we’re proud of you already for making the commitment to getting started!
The key to success in your first class is having an open mind. We often describe pole classes as failing together and laughing about it while cheering each other on.
Each level encompasses a range of skill levels, so it’s possible that your first class will include students with a few weeks or even months of experience. Please note that this class is just as much for you as it is for them, and that they were right where you are not long ago!
Modifications and progressions will be provided for all levels, so don’t be afraid to speak up if you need some extra help.
