About pole dance

Pole dancing is a muti-faceted dance and fitness experience.
Like most sports, pole has levels so we can start out with the basics and build up from a foundational level.

Pole can involve many high level aerial tricks but it doesn’t have to! At its core, pole is still dance. Dance classes do not necessarily include climbing or tricks. Heels dance classes often include dance based combinations or choreography much like any other dance class but with the added apparatus (pole).

When we do begin learning tricks, we start low to the ground. Simple hops and lifts condition our body for more advanced movements. Lifted tricks for beginners often include a variety of kicks, sweeps and jumps. We do not start going upside down until we are comfortable with tricks upright.

  • “Jolene has a deep understanding of movement and musculature which she uses in conditioning, cues, and different approaches to moves and shapes. By attending her classes consistently, I have gained strength and body awareness, as well as confidence in my pole journey! Jolene knows when to troubleshoot and when to push me out of my comfort zone. I would recommend her as a challenging yet safety conscious instructor. “

  • “I have been taking classes with Jolene for years both in studio and virtually (thanks to Covid). I have also been in Jolene’s classes at varying levels from intro to pole through to level 3 pole. Her classes and combos are always challenging and she is happy to modify to make it easier or add more difficult transitions depending on the needs of her students.

    Jolene clearly has extensive experience and knowledge about pole and performing. In my experience, she has always been willing to help me achieve a goal whether it is to learn a new move or assist in choreographing a performance piece. I would recommend Jolene as an instructor to anyone at any level.“

    Kim

  • “Jolene is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable pole instructor that I have been learning from for 2 years. Not only can she show you new tricks to try, but she can also explain the muscle engagement and placement necessary to safely perform these moves. She is encouraging, and always reminds classes that each body moves/works differently. Jolene physically steps in when asked/needed, but allows for you to explore tricks out on your own and answer any questions along the way. She creates an environment in class that is welcoming to EVERYONE, no matter their background, and celebrates her students often.”
