class descriptions

Step into your craft. Our classes are designed to guide you through strength, sensuality, and self-expression, offering space to explore your magic in a welcoming, affirming community.

  • Pole classes focus on tricks, spins, transitions, and combos—building the strength, alignment, and mobility you need to move safely, perform with confidence, and level up.

    • New to pole? This is the perfect place to start your journey. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll build a strong foundation in pole by learning essential techniques like basic spins, sits, climbs, and floorwork. We’ll focus on building strength, confidence, and body awareness while helping you feel comfortable both on and around the pole.

      *Prerequisites: No prior experience or upper body strength required—just come ready to move, explore, and have fun! Stay in Intro for as long as you like, and return any time to refresh your foundational skills.

    • You’ve got the basics—now it’s time to level up. This class is for students who feel confident with the foundational moves and are ready to build the strength and control needed for inversions. You’ll deepen your technique, learn new beginner-level shapes, and start linking moves to create longer, more fluid combos. Expect a fun challenge that builds stamina, body awareness, and confidence as you progress toward intermediate skills.

      *Prerequisites: A working understanding of basic grips, pole stand, cross-leg pole sit, pirouettes, fireman spin, and front and back hook spin. We recommend that absolute beginners start at the Intro level (Level 1).

    • This class bridges the gap between beginner and intermediate pole. You’ll refine foundational skills, build strength and control for inversions and explore early intermediate moves, combos, and transitions. Not quite ready for aerial inverts, brass monkey, or shoulder mounts? This is your class.

      *Prerequisites: Strong foundation in beginner skills. Students should be comfortable with climbing, pole sits, basic spins, laybacks, and have started working on basic invert preps or low inversions (e.g. crucifix, inside leg hang from the floor).

    • In this class, you’ll build strength and control as you take your inversions to new heights—literally. Start working toward aerial inverts and create longer, more dynamic combos with smooth transitions. You’ll dive into fun, challenging shapes like hip holds, brass monkey, and shoulder mounts, all while sharpening your technique and boosting your confidence in the air.

      *Prerequisites: outside leg hang, crucifix, confident climb, genie, pole sit, layback, figurehead, martini, one-handed static spins.

    • In Level 4, you’ll begin working on handsprings and continue developing strength and body awareness for more advanced moves like aerial shoulder mounts, brass monkey variations, and Ayesha and handspring entries. You’ll turn foundational skills into transitions as you explore dynamic movement, shifting contact points, and longer aerial combinations, helping you build control, fluidity, and confidence in the air.

      *Prerequisites: Aerial invert, extended butterfly, shoulder mount, brass monkey, caterpillar climb, reverse grab, pole handstand, cross-knee layback.

  • Explore musicality, expression, and storytelling through choreographed sequences. These classes fuse technique with artistry, helping you build fluid transitions, grounded strength, and powerful stage presence—whether you're dancing low to the floor, in heels, or around the pole.

     

    *Attire: Knee pads are encouraged in most choreography classes. Unless noted in the class title or description, students are encouraged to wear whatever makes them feel most confident—heels, socks, or bare feet are all welcome. 

    • Your introduction to dancing in heels. You’ll learn how to move with fluidity and intention through elemental moves like body waves, pirouettes, pole walks, and transitions. We’ll focus on musicality, control, and building ankle strength through heelwork. Each class includes a short, beginner-friendly choreography to help you apply what you’ve learned and build confidence. 

      *Prerequisites: Absolute beginners welcome here! It can be helpful to have taken intro to Pole to understand the basics. Kneepads and socks recommended. Heels optional.

    • Learn to use the floor as your apparatus in this beginner-friendly class focused on fluid, grounded movement. You’ll explore elemental skills like rolls, shoulder stands, and hypnotic legwork while building strength, control, and body awareness. Whether you’re in socks or heels, you’ll develop movement quality, coordination, and confidence from the ground up.

      *Prerequisites: Absolute newbies welcome here! Kneepads and leggings or legwarmers recommended. Heels optional. 

    • A slow, intentional class designed to help you connect with your senses and let your feelings guide your movement. Through prompts and freestyle exploration, you’ll learn to move from within, tapping into your unique energy, rhythm, and personal style. This class isn’t about choreography or perfect shapes—it’s about feeling, expression, and empowerment. Come as you are. Move how you feel. 

      Prerequisites: Absolute newbies welcome here! It can be helpful to have taken Intro to Pole (Level 1) to understand basic skills. Kneepads and socks recommended. Heels optional.

    • Due to our location in a fusion space, studio doors may be locked 5 minutes after the start of class to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. 

       

      Late arrivals disrupt the class flow and the instructor's ability to attend to all students. Further, missing the class warm-up puts you at risk of injury. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late to class, you may be denied entry. If you expect to be late, please notify your instructor in advance, and they will use their discretion to determine if you may participate.

    • Failure to attend a class without prior cancellation will result in the loss of a package or membership credit or full drop-in fee.

    • Cancellations must be made at least 2 hours before class to avoid penalties. Late cancellations (less than 2 hours before class) may result in the loss of a drop-in fee, class pack credit, or membership credit. Refunds are not guaranteed for late cancellations.

    • We honor and protect the privacy of everyone in our space. If filming or taking photos for personal use, please avoid capturing other students—or obtain their explicit consent if they appear in the background.

    • We love to see your progress online! If you post photos or videos to social media, always get verbal consent from anyone visible in your content. Help us keep this space safe, empowering, and respectful for all.
