Pole retreats right in your backyard? We have that!

Pole + Dance In-Studio Retreats

You don’t need to travel halfway across the world for exceptional experiences that let you deep dive into the art and craft of creating buttery, beautiful pole flow.

We’ve got them right here.

We’ve tapped our talented instructor team to bring you affordable, luxurious, connection-centered intensives tailored to the specific styles or skills that you love the most.

Our teachers get to share their favorite concepts and flows. You get to learn what they’re most excited to teach you. In your favorite studio!

Plus, we’ll bring our pole friendships out into the real world to share great local food, outdoor adventures, and go out on the town together.

July 23-26, 2026

Join us for four unforgettable days in the heart of San Francisco for pole, exploration, and community! This camp combines world-class workshops with our award-winning instructors at SF Pole + Dance with local adventures that showcase the best of the Bay Area.

You’ll enjoy 12 hours of pole, floorwork and flexibility instruction with our incredible instructors. Between classes, we’ll explore San Francisco’s iconic spots — skating at the Church of 8 Wheels, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, strolling through the Mission District’s famous murals, and picnicking at Dolores Park, which overlooks the whole city. Expect good food, good company, and plenty of laughter.

The Details

    • 12 hours of workshops in the local Pole + Dance studio

    • Planned group meals during named excursions

    • Fees/costs for local excursions (ie, entrance fees for parks, etc)

    • Flights

    • Accommodations

  • It depends on the camp! Please be sure to read the camp prerequisites prior to booking. That said, exact workshop curriculum will be customized to the level of the individual retreat attendees.

    Instructors at all our studios are trained to teach in a progressive nature, starting with the foundational aspect of the movement pattern and building levels of difficulty on top of that. We like to think of the progressions as bus stops; you can get off on the one that challenges you!

  • There are many nice hotels in downtown Portland. Amy’s preference is The Nines though she prefers Airbnbs to PDX hotels.  The retreat is in NW Portland so we recommend staying in either the Pearl District or NW/SW Portland generally.

  • If you want to stay in a hotel by yourself, we recommend staying at either at Found Hotel Carlton in Nob Hill (for budget accommodations) or at the W hotel, close to Embarcadero BART station (for luxury accommodation).

    If you would prefer to rent an Airbnb with other people, we will pair you up with other pole camp attendees within one month of booking - just let us know! Whether you book a Airbnb with other people or alone, we recommend booking Airbnbs in the mission District, Hayes Valley, And Noe Valley neighborhoods to stay in safe, fun, vibrant neighborhoods that are close to the studio in Soma district.

  • Due to the limited nature of the slots available for booking, we do not offer refunds for purchased  retreat slots. 

    If you need to cancel your booking more than 90 days before the retreat, we can offer you a credit toward a future retreat, less a $200 cancellation fee.

    If you need to cancel your booking within 90 days of the retreat, we can apply a 50% credit toward a future P+D retreat.

  • No discounts or payment plans are available for this retreat.
