Pole with
Camille
Strong technique,
thoughtful movement,
and a style that
feels like you.
Poling since 2012Certified instructor since 2015@camillepoles ↗
I started pole in 2012, became a certified instructor in 2015, and somehow, after all these years, I still learn something new almost every time I touch the pole. I don’t think that ever stops. I hope it doesn’t.
Not always a new trick. Sometimes it’s a different pathway, a smoother transition, a subtle shift in timing, or a detail I’ve never noticed before. That’s what keeps me coming back, and it’s what I hope every student gets to experience too.
My teaching goes beyond checking tricks off a list. It’s rooted in strong technique, thoughtful movement, and an understanding of why things work, not just how to do them. I believe solid fundamentals create more freedom, more confidence, and more room to develop a style that feels authentic to you.
Whether you’re brand new or you’ve been dancing for years, I’d love to help you discover what your movement can become.

First design job · first pole classMy first graphic design job was at a pole and aerial studio (Embody Studios… IYKYK) back in 2012, and it’s basically what led me to take my first pole class. Because I worked at the studio, there was no avoiding it. A class here and there turned into a couple of classes a day, and eventually I was spending almost every waking hour at both Embody locations: doing my job as the designer and marketing manager (we had a full-on retail store too), then taking as many classes as I could as soon as I clocked out.
Certified
Instructor · up to 12 classes a weekIn 2015, I got certified as an instructor, and the rest is history. I eventually taught up to 12 classes a week, plus private lessons and competition training. When Embody closed, I kept teaching at 5 different studios and kept the pole life going. I even competed once (and never again, haha).
Designer by day
Pole instructor by nightMind you, this was all happening while I was working a full-time design job. Designer by day and pole instructor by night. It was exhausting, but I loved every minute of it. After-class training sessions that went ’til midnight became routine. It was addicting, it was empowering, and it was like therapy… there’s truly nothing like it.
Mom life
Pole on pauseI kept teaching all the way until I was about 4 months pregnant, then I finally had to stop. In 2020, my daughter arrived, and mom life was a whole other beast that needed all my focus and energy, so the pole life went on pause.
Back on the pole
Teaching againBut now, I finally have time to get back into my favorite thing: pole. And yes, I’m teaching again! These days it’s designer and pole dancer in the morning, then mom the rest of the day lol.
Take your pick.

Low Flow Pole Essentials
There’s more to low flow than staying close to the floor.
Low Flow Pole Essentials is where technique meets exploration. This class focuses on building confidence through deliberate movement rather than learning a full routine. We’ll break down individual low flow skills, transitions, pathways, and mini combinations while exploring the details that make movement feel smooth, controlled, and connected.
Expect a mix of basework, floorwork, grounded pole movement, and creative sequencing designed to improve body awareness, fluidity, and movement quality. Whether you’re learning a skill for the first time or refining one you’ve been practicing for years, the details are what make it click.
This class is open to all levels. Progressions and modifications are offered throughout class so you can work at a pace that matches your experience.
What to wear
Leggings are welcome, but please bring shorts in case certain skills require skin grip. Pole heels and socks are optional. Knee pads are highly recommended, and so is Dry Hands (or a similar grip aid).
Pole Tricks & Transitions
Strong tricks begin with strong technique.
This class is designed to build the foundation that makes every skill easier, safer, and more consistent. We’ll focus on developing strength, body awareness, and movement quality through foundational tricks, transitions, conditioning, and technical drills on both static and spin pole. Rather than just checking tricks off a list, we’ll explore the details behind each movement so you understand how your body creates efficient, controlled technique.
As you progress, we’ll begin introducing grounded invert mechanics, invert conditioning, and more challenging transitions to prepare you for aerial movement and higher-level classes.
Advanced students are always welcome. Progressions and modifications are provided throughout class, making this a great opportunity to refine fundamentals, clean up technique, and reinforce movement quality.
What to wear
Please wear shorts, as most tricks require direct skin contact for grip. Dry Hands (or a similar grip aid) is recommended.
Pole Flow’Ography
There’s more to flow than memorizing choreography.
Pole Flow’Ography is where technique meets creativity, and every movement has a purpose. In this class, we’ll explore the technique behind every transition, pathway, and movement so you leave understanding why the choreography works, not just what comes next. My goal isn’t just for you to leave knowing the choreography. It’s for you to understand the movement well enough to make it your own.
Each class teaches a full choreography while building the details that make movement feel deliberate. We’ll break down timing, musicality, pathways, body mechanics, and movement quality so you can develop your own style while strengthening the fundamentals that support it.
Expect a mix of basework, low flow, floorwork, dance movement, pole tricks, and seamless transitions designed to help you move with more confidence, fluidity, and control.
What to wear
Leggings are welcome, but please bring shorts in case certain tricks require skin grip. Pole heels and socks are optional. Knee pads are highly recommended, and so is Dry Hands (or a similar grip aid).
Prerequisites
Although this is an All Levels class, it’s not intended for first-time pole students. You should already feel comfortable with foundational pole skills, including basic grips, spins, climbs, pirouettes, and moving confidently around the pole. The choreography often includes longer movement sequences and intermediate transitions that require coordination, body awareness, and endurance.
I recommend taking 6 to 8 beginner classes before jumping into Flow’Ography. You’ll get much more out of the experience once the fundamentals feel familiar, so you can focus on movement quality, musicality, and expression instead of just keeping up with the choreography.
Pole Tricks & Transitions
Advanced tricks are built on refined fundamentals.
This class is designed for experienced pole dancers ready to challenge themselves while continuing to sharpen technique. We’ll focus on aerial movement, advanced inversions, leg hangs, dynamic transitions, climbs, and combo work on both static and spin pole. Alongside learning new skills, we’ll break down body mechanics, execution, and efficient pathways so your movement becomes stronger, cleaner, and more precise.
Expect a combination of technical drills, conditioning, endurance training, and longer trick sequences that emphasize control, fluidity, and confidence in the air.
What to wear
Please wear shorts, as most tricks require direct skin contact for grip. Dry Hands (or a similar grip aid) is recommended.
Prerequisites
The only prerequisite: you can invert from the floor. If you’re not inverting aerially yet, this class will keep conditioning your invert technique until you get there. If you already are, we’ll keep building from there.
Intentional. Precise. Designed for progress.
Your movement, elevated, with support at every level.
Private Lessons
Level up with private lessons built around your goals, your pace, and the way you move. Whether it’s one-on-one, semi-private, or a group session, privates give you focused, detailed instruction: personalized corrections, deeper technique work, and the kind of refinement that builds a strong foundation, cleaner lines, more pole knowledge, and a style that feels effortlessly, confidently you.
Every session is fully customized to what you want to work on, from nailing specific tricks, polishing transitions, building flow, or learning choreography to exploring the style you’re drawn to. Whatever your vibe is, your lesson is built around it. You choose the focus, and I’ll shape the training to match.

Choreography & Coaching
I offer choreography and coaching for competitions, showcases, and performances, tailored to your style, strengths, and vision. Whether you need a full routine built from the ground up or guidance refining an existing piece, each session focuses on musicality, transitions, stage presence, character, and all the tiny details that make a performance unforgettable.
Choreography can be crafted in any pole style you gravitate toward. From trick selection and flow construction to storytelling and emotional direction, we’ll work together to create a piece that feels cohesive, polished, and unmistakably you. Perfect for first-time competitors, seasoned performers, or anyone who wants choreography built with an eye for detail and movement quality.

Pick your lab.
Four workshops I can bring to your studio, 60 or 90 minutes (your call). Tap each flyer for the full rundown.Swipe to pick a lab, the full rundown’s right below.
Every lab can run 60 or 90 minutes, your call, and starts with a quick warm-up. I like to have the room 15 minutes before so students can arrive early to warm up, change, or get settled, and we’ll pack up and head out within 15 minutes after so your studio stays on schedule.
Filming is welcome throughout, and students only post footage of themselves unless everyone in the frame is okay with it.
Pick the lab (or labs) you want, choose 60 or 90 minutes, and send me a few dates you’d suggest. Sign-ups (and payments) can go through your studio or through me, whatever’s easiest for you. Either way, I’ll always promote it right here on this page and link it to wherever your sign-up lives.
I have my own pricing, schedule, and policies (like a two-student minimum and a 48-hour cancellation window), but I’m always happy to go with how your studio runs things.
If students sign up and pay through your studio, we’ll work out a split that feels fair for both of us. Just ask for my rates when you reach out.
Want me in as a guest instructor? Pick your lab, send me a few dates, and I’ll come teach it at your studio.
It’s addicting. It’s empowering. There’s truly nothing like it.

What to wear
Pole tricks need direct skin contact to grip the pole, so please wear shorts (or pole shorts) made with a stretchy material. Leggings or yoga pants sometimes work for the whole class, but bring shorts just in case. Heels (Pleasers or something similar), knee pads, and socks (any length) are all optional. ALSO, don’t forget to bring water!
Important tips
Thoroughly wash off all lotions and oils (hands, arms, and legs) before class, since they’ll keep you from gripping the pole. Without good grip, every trick and spin gets harder. Take off all rings before class so your jewelry doesn’t get scratched or bent. Most pole dancers use Dry Hands to keep their hands (and anywhere else that touches the pole) residue-free, which helps your grip even more. It’s not required, but you’re welcome to grab a bottle and use it in class.
See you on the pole.
