We are located in Frederick, MD. The address location is provided once you succesfully book a class.

• Attire should be easy to move in with no restriction, and it should cover all the appropriate areas.
• Clothing such as tight fitting shorts, and a tank top with sports bra is acceptable. No shoes or socks.
• You may bring a towel for personal use.
• Absolutely no lotion or oils on any part of your body the day of your class. They will make you slip off the pole.
• Please do not wear jewelry during class, such as rings, bracelets and necklaces.
• You may bring your own water bottle because hydration is important! (If you forget it, don't worry! Complimentary bottled water is provided).
• For Flexibility classes, please bring a yoga mat.

• Come as you are! Very few individuals are already strong or flexible to begin with. The class is designed to help build the fundamental strength to achieve results with time and practice. You do not have to be strong to start dancing; you have to start dancing to get stronger.

• The purpose of the class is to get you to a point where you can be comfortable with yourself. You have spent your entire life with your body and it's gone through so much for you, both physically and mentally. Your body deserves just as much love as you show others. Even if you are not comfortable when you walk in through my door, my goal is to help you gain confidence when you leave.
• If you are not comfortable with your attire, you don't have to wear a sports bra and booty shorts right on your first class. For your first class, you can get away with a simple short sleeve shirt and some biker shorts.
• You'll be in an environment that is inclusive, judgement-free, and you can be yourself and leave your worries outside.
• I also offer private classes if you are not yet ready for a group setting.

• Short answer: No!
• Long answer: Although the most common form of pole/exotic dance evolved during the Great Depression, pole work also traces back to over two thousand years of history. In India, a predominant male sport called "Mallakamb," which stands for "Wrestling pole," is a large wooden pole--similar to the shalie of a drumming stick. In circus acts, Chinese pole is a common act where athletes are hopping back and forth from two 20 foot poles and perform acrobatic tricks.

As you start out, once a week is plenty to allow your body to adjust to this new modality. As you progress and gain more comfort and strenght, you're likely going to want to invest in more classes.

• As with any new fitness program, you should exercise caution and speak with your medical provider prior to participating in order to seek clearance. Pole Dance is considered phsically demanding and exhilarating, but it does have its contraindications.
• Contraindications include heart conditions, active infections, recent surgery and severe anemia. Fractures, late stages of pregnancy, and/or severe skin conditions can affect also lead to risks.
• Should any injuries or conditions appear, it is important to notify your instructor immediately in order to receive proper modification or alternative forms of movement.

• I am a long-life believer in the X-Pole brand and have owned my pole since 2008 (and is still holding up strong!). Their equipment is designed with users in mind, with safety and performance always taking priority. They are also considered the leaders in all pole and aerial fitness equipment.
• For beginners, I recommend the X-POLE SPORT as a great starter. It is a static pole, which means that it does not spin, but that does not take away from the quality of the product. You can also choose the finish that best suits your preference.

• It's important to ensure that your hands remain free from any dirt or grime. Proper hand washing prior to a class is helpful with sweaty hands.
• For any moves that may require extra grip, grip is provided for class use, or you can bring your own! Below are some name brands that are popular throughout the pole industry:
  • Dry Hands
  • iTac2
  • Monkey Hands
  • Mighty Grip
