We were one of the first climbing gyms to open in the nation, and we are the first climbing gym to have a fully integrated pole dance studio. We first started out with teaching only yoga classes in 2012 and brought pole dance on in 2016, with one pole in our tiny studio. Since then our pole community has expanded tremendously. We have a constantly growing student body, with students and instructors now competing and performing in the area. We are so proud to consider now consider ourselves truly part of the pole community and thrilled to continue expanding the classes we offer along with the community we serve.
