Viktoriya

Viktoriya

I’ve been dancing for over a decade, exploring styles like Pole Dance, High Heels, Chair Dance, Stretching, Jazz Funk, and Samba. My journey started in Ukraine and took me through London and São Paulo before landing in Charleston, and each place has added something special to the way I move and teach.

I’ve been pole dancing for over 8 years and have competed across Europe — including winning silver at the Pole Universe Exotic Championship in Ukraine. I started teaching in 2023 and it quickly became my biggest passion. Helping others feel confident, strong, and connected through dance is what drives me every day. In my classes, you’ll find a mix of good vibes, powerful energy, and space to fully be yourself. Can’t wait to dance with you

I’ve been pole dancing for six years and started teaching in 2021. I specialize in Low Flow Pole, Heels, Twerk, Chair, and Floorwork. My favorite part of teaching is helping students build confidence by leaning into their own unique movement style.

Outside of dance, I’m a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur, running my own social media and email marketing business. I’ve performed in several pole shows, with my first-ever public performance at PoleCon 2022 in Atlanta, GA. I’ve lived in Charleston, SC for 10 years, and when I’m not teaching or choreographing, I love watching anime, exploring new tech tools, and spending time with my husband, son, and our pets.

I'm Nala — photographer, videographer, dancer, and certified yoga instructor. I’ve been dancing my whole life and began teaching in 2019, specializing in Twerk, Chair, Floorplay, Heels, Pole, and Yoga. I started my pole journey in 2014 and have been exploring the power of movement as a way to express sensuality, stay grounded, and connect with the present moment.

My classes are a creative space to explore your body’s rhythm and energy. I love helping students tune into themselves through movement that feels nourishing, empowering, and freeing.

Dana

Dana

I'm a PFA-certified instructor who discovered pole dance during the pandemic — a journey that quickly turned into a passion for movement, confidence, and self-expression. What began as personal exploration grew into a deep desire to create space for others to feel strong and free.

I also work as a research scientist, and I bring that same focus and curiosity into every class. I emphasize mindful movement, body awareness, and celebrating each student’s unique style.

My goal is to offer a welcoming, judgment-free space where everyone can move with confidence and feel good in their own skin.

Briana

Briana

Briana has a background in dance, gymnastics, and competitive cheerleading, which led to her lifelong passion for movement. She discovered pole dancing in 2017 and was immediately drawn to its artistry, strength, and body awareness.

While her early pole journey was trick-focused, she has since developed a deep appreciation for flow-based movement and dance expression. Briana began teaching in 2021 and has since led a wide range of classes including Beginner to Advanced Tricks, Spin Pole Flow, Choreography, Heels Flow, Basework, and Floorwork. Her classes emphasize refining technique, developing body connectivity, and cultivating authentic movement through attention to detail
