Christine
Christine took her first pole class 10 years ago as a "bucket list" item and it has become a part of her life ever since! She is passionate about welcoming others into the world of Pole, and educating them on the physical, mental and emotional empowerment that pole fitness has to offer.
Christine believes that everyone has a different reason for wanting to take a pole class, and she is excited to lead students on on a "pole journey" of their own.
Ruth
Ruthie is a fitness enthusiast who discovered her love for aerial arts over 10 years ago. In search of a fun way to stay fit, she took her first aerial class and the rest is history.
She enjoys training on the Sling (hammock) and explores Corde Lisse, but her first aerial love will always be the Silks. Ruthie’s goal is to cultivate a warm, and safe environment so that students can build physical and emotional strength and learn to challenge themselves.
Lori
Lori has always had an interest in aerial dance since seeing Cirque Du Soleil performances as a little girl. She started silks in 2018, but quickly fell in love with pole, too.
Lori is an Occupational Therapist; with her expertise in body mechanics, she can assist students of all levels to move and stretch safely.

Paige
Paige took her first aerial hammock class in early 2014, and it was love at first invert! She quickly picked up lyra and pole dance as well, and soon transitioned to teaching.
Paige has a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science and spent ten years working in public education before going back to school. In her day job, Paige is a Physical Therapist. Her teaching style combines her knowledge of movement science with her background in education.
She knows every*body* is different, and loves working with students to figure out safe ways to achieve their goals.
Jackie
Jacqueline first ventured into aerial silk classes in 2019 while seeking something new and exciting outside of her comfort zone several years after training in and coaching Taekwondo and pole vault. With persistence and true love of aerial arts, Jacqueline improved upon her flexibility, grace, and aerial form. She now practices aerial sling, split fabric, and lyra.
Jacqueline will assist her aerial students to find their own unique voice in the air. She understands the struggle of “teaching” one’s own body to feel comfortable with embracing aerial dance and is ready to lead the class to coordinate individual moves into fun sequences!
Jenn
Jenn started her pole and lyra journey in 2022. She loves exercise so she has had an extensive background in sports such as cheer, figure skating, TKD, swimming, golf, and bodybuilding.
Jenn has taught swimming to all age groups from toddlers to adults and has competed in a bodybuilding show in 2017.
To continue her love of moving the body, she received a Bachelors in Exercise Science with a concentration of Pre-Professional and Clinical studies. Jenn has been interested in pole dance from a young age and finally achieved that dream at 21! Pole and lyra has been a great journey for her and as it continues, Jenn is happy to teach and share with everyone! Having fun is a must but she avidly prioritizes safety, form, and control.
