Courtney

Courtney’s introduction to pole fitness began in 2013 after she came across a video of a competitive poler doing a contemporary routine with impressive feats of flexibility and strength. She started her pole journey only focusing on tricks but eventually took the leap to dance classes and never looked back. She discovered that there is artistic freedom in every form of the sport, and eventually added lyra and sling to her aerial practice. Her teaching style is heavily focused on proper technique and conditioning to help you navigate your own personal pole and aerial journey.

Pana

While Pana’s fitness journey began as a rock climber, her physical strength was not enough to battle how uncomfortable she felt in her own body. Little did she know, the pole gods had a plan for her. She happened upon a local pole studio which provided a safe space to discover her true self. Since then, she has continued growing through various forms of aerial arts as well as hand balancing, ballroom, contemporary, rings, movement, animal flow, calisthenics, and functional strength.

CC

CC’s greatest passion has always been dance. She feels like when she is dancing, she’s able to express more than words could ever say. She loved it so much, she received her associate’s degree in dance and has shared that passion with students of all ages for over 15 years. When she tried her first pole class, she was immediately hooked. She loves that pole is whatever you want it to be: it can be sensual, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be graceful or a daring display of athleticism, and you get to decide which one it is for yourself. She is level 1/2 XPERT certified and can’t wait to share this amazing art-form with you!

Jane

Hello, I’m Jane. I chose this easy alias because you’ll probably have a hard time pronouncing my real name, Yevheniia. I’m from beautiful Ukraine. In our country, pole dance is highly developed. I have been in this sport for almost 10 years, 8 of which I have been teaching, took part in competitions twice. I love both pole options and can teach you how to perform various tricks in static and dynamic modes.

Pole Goddess

Pole Goddess started her pole journey during the pandemic, and is a proud self-taught pole dancer. Eight months into her pole journey she had the rare opportunity of being cast in her first music video, Thieves In Atlanta, performing as an opening pole dancer and a background pole dancer. This paved the way for her to appear in her first live performance just short of a year into her pole journey. Six months later, she had the unique chance to serve as Co-Creator of Choreography for/with Alina Baraz in her United States Tour.

Rachael “Disarray”

Disarray has over 600+ in-studio hours, has competed and placed 2nd in Dance Filthy Amateur Division, and is co-creator and co-producer of Original Sin Show. She is Level 1/2 XPERT certified and ready to push you (safely and kindly) to the limits your body and mind will take you. She can often be found adorned in all black, whipping herself around the metal stick, and throwing heavy tricks to heavy metal.

Capri

What was once supposed to be a one-time thing turned into one of her favorite hobbies — Capri tooker her first pole class at Buttercup Pole Dance in Tampa 5 years ago. She quickly began taking as many classes as she could, and began expanding her practice to include teaching at Black Prana Yoga and Pole 1 year later. Her specialty is inversion preparation/conditioning, putter her personal and group training certifications to use. As her confidence grew over the years, she branched out into performing at local burlesque and pole showcases such as Ybor City Sirens and Lux Pole Cabaret. Capri is constantly working to perfect her craft, and is passionate about being able to bring knowledge to others in the the community.

Oshin

Oshin (AKA Lady Calypso) started her pole dance journey 2.5 years ago as a way to challenge herself mentally and physically – but stayed with it because of the amazing community. Through her newfound passion for the art, she found a sense of empowerment and confidence she wanted to share with others. She has performed in showcases and co-hosted wellness workshops around the Tampa Bay area. In her free time this Aquarius enjoys cross-training in the gym, stand-up comedy, spending time with her beloved dog-son Bronson, and browsing local thrift stores and craft fairs. Her dance style could be described as flirty, playful and smoldering.
