Viktoriya

I’m Viktoriya, founder of Dance Your Life Studio and a PFA-certified instructor in Pole Dance, Heels, Chair Dance, Floorwork, and Stretching. With over 8 years of pole experience, I started teaching in 2023 to share my passion and performance journey.

I’ve competed in exotic pole competitions across Europe, earning a silver medal at the Pole Universe Exotic Championship. But teaching is what drives me, helping students feel strong, confident, and free in their bodies. My classes are all about self-expression, good vibes, and empowering energy.

Outside the studio, you’ll find me surfing, snowboarding, or relaxing at the beach, my favorite place to recharge.

Kai

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.

Nala

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

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 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
