About our Pole Level Program
Our Level Program includes a curriculum of moves within 6 "color" routines that changes every 2 weeks to help our students practice and progress safely. We encourage students to move through the class levels at their own pace.
All students can move to the next level by requesting a Level Assessment with an instructor, and a list of required moves to pass the level can be provided before the Level Assessment. While it is not a requirement to have attended all "color" routines, the student must be able to perform these moves comfortably and confidently in order to pass. After moving up a level, students are still welcome to review lower levels.
If you already have prior experience, please contact us at 512-477-7653 so we can determine the best level for you.
Pole Classes
-
This is for students that are new to pole. Learn basic pole fundamentals including proper grip, balance, and control, all while building strength! We’ll focus on walking around the pole, basic spins, and floor work. Make sure to wear shorts because we’ll be covering sitting and climbing on the pole too! No prior experience is required.
-
Now that climbing and sitting are familiar, let’s learn some new spins and climbs! We'll start moving up, down, and all around the pole with new moves and transitions. We will also start building strength and prepare you for your first inversion!
-
You are now ready to turn everything upside-down! We will improve inversions, learn leg hangs and one-handed spins, and learn more about spinning poles. Be ready to put your newfound tricks and transitions into beautiful combos.
-
Now that you've been hanging upside down for awhile, let's get ready for some new challenges! We'll be working on more complex pole combinations and static rotations, drops, tumbles, and introductions to handsprings.
-
Having built a solid foundation of pole work, this is now the opportunity to learn moves found on Pole Sport & Arts World Federation Code of Points, experiment with new pole transitions, and try to recreate those inventive and crazy tricks we see polebrities post on social media. Entering this level is by lead instructor invite only.

In this class, we’ll work on a spin pole combo, focusing on smooth transitions between shapes. Each session will include targeted conditioning while building a strong foundation of spin pole techniques. Possible side effects include: improved grip strength, smoother spins, and an addiction to floating. To enroll, students must pass a Pole 1 Level Assessment.
-
Stuck on a stuck pole? Let's get dizzy instead! This class will focus on the skills required to create flow and momentum on the static pole as well as how to control and keep your spin pole spinning. We might even go over how to create aerial rotations around a static pole to fool folks into believing you're on a spinning pole! To enroll, students must pass a Pole 1 Level Assessment.
-
Strengthen your body for the pole on the pole. A certified fitness professional will lead you through a workout designed to work on grip strength, core strength, push mechanics, pull mechanics, posterior chain activation, and leg extensions. This is an all-levels class.
-
In each class, we'll break down a series of pole moves into their component parts and connect breath to movement and engagement, just like in a traditional yoga class. There will be options for both beginners and more advanced students. The purpose of this class will be to help students develop a sense of safety and presence in their bodies for their pole practice. Nervous system regulation and pelvic floor stabilization will be the primary focuses of the class. Some pole experience is necessary. We recommend students have taken at least 3-5 pole classes before signing up. No yoga experience required.
-
Time to feel powerful in your heels! Learn how to build efficient, unique, or deliberate heelwork flows, aesthetics, and lines. Examples may include pirouettes, edge work, traces and threads, glides, floor work, and heel clacks. 7"-8" pole-specific heels are required, and knee pads are strongly recommended. This is a class for all skill levels. However, you should be able to maintain upright holds and understand basic hand positions and spins, so we recommend you have taken at least 5 pole classes before signing up.

Wanna just work for an hour on inverts? Pole Essentials is for you!!

This is an all-levels, accelerated class.

Happy Hour is a time for you to come in to the studio to practice and improve on what you’ve learned in class, train for a performance or competition piece, or connect with others at Happy Hour for pole support. An instructor will provide a guided warm up and cool down as well as spot you or answer any questions you may have. However, this is not a structured class, so no new material will be presented. This is your time, so come in prepared with what you want to work on.

Expect a technical breakdown that will help you understand the movement’s theory, the technique needed, and how to execute it to feel comfortable in the move. Heelwork can also be on your wish list!

In this class, we will work on the basics of creating beautiful pole flow: transitions, extension, basic dance moves on and off the pole, and what to do with your hands, feet, and head! Each week we'll drill down on 2 or 3 specific skills that will help you improve your flow. Everything will be dancey, from the warm-up to the drilling to the cool down, you'll be working on finding your own unique expression in your movement! Come tap into that magnificent dancing goddess/god/enby deity inside you that we all know is dying to break out!! Knee pads and leg warmers are necessary. Layers and socks are recommended. Heels are optional. This is an all-levels class.

In this class, we’ll hone our stage presence around the pole, command attention, and embody confident movement. A short combo or simple choreo will be introduced, and we will spend the rest of the class connecting assertive movement to music. Tap into your authenticity and get comfortable with the way your body channels a range of music. If the essence of punk performance is true-to-self energy, community, and artist-audience connection, then pole is punk as hell. Song requests are welcomed and encouraged! Heels are also welcome but not required.
