I have a small home studio in Milton, Florida, near Walmart Neighborhood Market on Old Bagdad. To keep things private, I'll send the exact address in your confirmation email after you book.

Yes! No strength or flexibility required. As a former school teacher, I know everyone learns at their own pace, so I build classes around the students who actually sign up, not a one-size-fits-all lesson plan.

Group classes are $25 (Intro, Pole 1, Pole 1.5) or $35 (Pole 2), and packages are available if you'd like to save. Pole and Aerial privates are $70/hour and can be split between two people. There are currently no group aerial classes, but aerial privates are always an option.

We'll start with a general warm-up and some pole conditioning, then get to the fun part (poses, tricks, and sequences) before winding down with gentle stretches.

For Intro pole, regular workout clothes are fine. As you progress, you'll typically wear a little less since skin contact helps with higher-level tricks.

For aerial, go with fitted clothing that covers the backs of your knees and armpits (leggings and a fitted top; no crop tops, please).

TIPS: Skip lotion, sunscreen, and deodorant and please leave jewelry at home or remove it when you arrive. And please do not wear clothing with zippers, buttons, or rhinestones.

NO! I know it's hard being new at something, especially as an adult, but it just takes practice and consistency. I'm not here to judge you for where you're starting. My job is to coach you and keep you safe and I take that seriously. Many of us in this community started as adults with zero dance experience, myself included. You'll get stronger and more confident and you might even discover a strength you never knew you had.

I don't teach heels technique, but students are welcome to bring their own if they're interested or already have experience. Please make sure they're pole-specific heels as they are designed to be more supportive than regular heels. Rhinestone heels are not allowed, as they can scratch the floor.

Consistent practice will build your strength, coordination, and flexibility, but visible weight or muscle changes mostly come down to your lifestyle and eating habits outside class. If that's a goal of yours, personal training sessions are available to help you build a supportive plan.

The group schedule gets updated monthly based on current bookings, so reach out and let me know what you're looking for. It's not guaranteed, but a class package or bringing a friend definitely helps the odds of it becoming a regular slot. Private sessions ($70/hour) can also be shared with a friend as a semi-private at no extra cost, and packages are available either way.

There's real risk involved, but keeping you safe is always my top priority. I plan each class around the students enrolled and their experience level, keep classes small so everyone gets real attention, and stay close by to spot inverted or new moves. My poles are ceiling-mounted and checked before every class, with mats on hand for extra protection. Aerial uses a professional rig with a 36-inch mat, keeps moves low for beginners, and is only offered as private or semi-private, with never more than two students sharing an apparatus. Even with all these precautions, injuries can still happen, so it's worth keeping in mind as you book.

The studio isn't childproofed, so I'm not able to offer childcare directly, but I really want pole and aerial to be accessible to busy parents. Reach out and let's chat about options.

You'll never share with more than one other person. With two poles, group classes are capped at four students, and aerial stays private or semi-private only. Most students don’t mind an excuse to rest while waiting their turn. 😉

My equipment is rated for up to 300 lbs. If you're over that, I'd be glad to point you toward a local studio with higher-rated equipment.
