Workshops at our studios are generally:

  • Participants share apparatuses

  • Priced at a minimum of $50 per student with a 60/40 revenue share, split between guest instructor and studio

Bring your signature tricks or most unique flow to our highly engaged and enthusiastic student base and gorgeous, clean studio spaces!

Got more questions?

  • Sure! Get in touch and let us know what you had in mind. We’re happy to talk about customizing our standard workshop specs.

  • Absolutely! We’ll post about your upcoming workshop on social media 3 weeks before the date, again as it approaches, and repost anything you tag us in. Please be sure to provide us with photos and videos representative of your workshop content.

  • Please do! You know what skills your students will need to be successful. In your workshop description, please be sure to mention any critical skills or knowledge students should come in with.

    Also be sure to describe what students should wear - sweatpants, their sexiest polewear, or something in between?

  • Yes! You must charge a minimum of $80 per person. You may charge more, but this is the baseline rate for privates in our spaces.

    Our studio rental feel is $20/hr. When a student requests a private with you, send the rental fee to the studio via Venmo. Include the desired day and the time of the private in the note on Venmo. We’ll reach out if there are any scheduling conflicts.

    Add $10 to the rental fee for any additional students in semi-privates - so $30 for a 2-student semi-private.

    At the time of the private, be sure that the student has signed a digital or paper waiver.

  • Yes, you’re welcome to teach at any studio of your choice, including other pole dance studios in the region!

    However, we do ask that you notify us if you’re teaching nearby so we can make scheduling considerations.
