Classes & Offerings

All of our classes are 75 minutes and give you everything you need to leave the world outside the door and devote your time to nurturing yourself. Each class begins with an embodiment practice to drop you out of your mind and deep into your body where you can connect with your Divine Feminine energy. Our community is a Sisterhood of women who love to fly, dance, laugh, and even cry together as we tear down the walls of female competition and criticism to embrace our original innocence and highest love.

Our Class Schedule

Pole Classes

Level 1

Level 1 classes are suitable for students just beginning their pole dance journey or any level of student looking to solidify their foundation. In Level 1 classes, you’ll build strength and endurance while mastering climbs, two handed spins, and basic dance flow sequences designed to prepare you for Level 2 curriculum. With consistent attendance, students also begin to connect with themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Dropping out of your head and into your body, you'll catch glimpses of your own feminine energy, lying dormant, waiting to be expressed in your freestyle dances and eventually, all facets of your life.

Level 2

Level 2 classes are suitable for students who have mastered basic pole flow movements, two handed spins, and climbing. In Level 2, your strength and endurance sky rocket as you explore more intricate dance sequences, one handed spins, and upright aerial combos designed to prepare you for Level 3/4 classes. But the changes you'll experience aren't just limited to your physical body. As your confidence and library of pole dance movements grows, so does your ability to surrender more in your freestyle dances. It's these deeper levels of surrender that facilitate opportunities for exploration of your inner world and who you are as a unique woman. Our goal is to help you build the confidence to express that uniqueness, as it is your personal power.

Level 3

Level 3 classes are waiting for you when you're ready to take your pole practice upside down. Don't be intimidated! Just like when you started Level 1 classes and you didn't know how to climb, you don't need to know how to invert to join Level 3. In this class you'll be introduced to fundamental inversions and their transitions as well as more advanced upright tricks high on the pole, and powerful spin combinations. With every student progressing at a different pace depending on fitness level and frequency of attendance, knowing when you're ready to move up to this class from Level 2 can be answered with the help of your instructor. Our goal with students at this level is to help them find the same finesse of movement upside down, 10 feet off the ground, hanging from one leg, as they do spinning and twirling around the base of the pole with both feet on the floor. We want you to love going upside down!

Level 4

Level 4 classes are suitable for students who enjoy the physically demanding side of pole dance and wish to master big, beautiful, strength-challenging movements like inversions, handsprings, and advanced pole trick combos. Whether your goals at this level are to participate in competitions or purely for pushing your own boundaries, our skilled and experienced instructors are trained in proper spotting and safe teaching techniques. Proper technique and safety are paramount here. Of course this is about strength and flexibility, which you've gained plenty of by this point, but the amount of confidence you have cultivated within yourself that it takes to climb a pole and flip yourself upside down is unquestionably being expressed in your every day life. Think this is unattainable for you? Think again. We regularly have students up to their 60's and 70's and students who can't lift their toes off the floor in their first class progress to this level. What you're truly capable of physically on the pole and affectionally through your freestyle dances at this point in your pole journey will shock you into an awakening and teach you to stand in your power. If this resonates with you, it could be your journey too!

Old School Flow

Founded by the grandmother of Old School Flow, Rhiannan Nichole, Ascension is the only studio offering authentic Old School Flow classes that honor the original smooth and seamless flow choreography inherent to this style. With the intention of continuing to build confidence through an authentic relationship with your feminine spirit, we really take flow technique and sensual expression to the next level in this class. Mesmerizing choreography filled with trickier dance sequences and intense body movements will have your head spinning, hips slinking, and your heart twirling as you ascend into pole flow bliss. At this level, students really home in on the essence that is the old school flow style and begin to use the learned motions as a means to express more emotion in their freestyle dances.

Sensual Flow

An introduction to moving and expressing yourself sensually through choreographed dances with a focus on embodying your Divine Feminine energy and loving your body as a Temple. This class is great for beginners who are seeking to connect with their body and sensuality. You'll learn the foundational techniques required to feel comfortable in our Old School Flow classes and you'll gain the confidence to express yourself in your freestyle dances. This is your time to let go and flow with the feminine energy in your body while challenging your coordination and endurance.

Spinning Pole 1-3

Most of the time, our dance poles are locked in a static position. They can also be unlocked, allowing the pole to spin freely as you hold on tight and create beautiful shapes with your body. We call this method "spinning pole." If you've taken at least 5 beginner classes, you are ready to join this class. All the movements students learn in static pole classes can be applied here in Spinning Pole class but the mechanics and technique are different and often require more strength and endurance. While holding on and spinning through a whirlwind of sensation does inspire muscle growth, you'll also find yourself leaning back and closing your eyes as you surrender to the chaos and give yourself permission to fly.

Open Pole

It's not uncommon for our students to install a pole in their home as a means to feed their pole dancing obsession when life permits them from attending class. If you haven't quite worked out which corner of your house to install said pole, you've got Open Pole as an option. There is no instructor present during this block of time, as it is not a class. Instead, you'll get your own pole for the entire 75 minutes to practice what you've learned in class, rehearse for an upcoming show or competition, or to just pop in your earphones and dance away the stress of your day in a safe and supportive space. Open Pole is offered 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm so you can train and unwind whenever is convenient for your busy schedule.

Aerial & Contortion Classes

Aerial Hoop

Our aerial hoop classes are a great way to cross train with our pole classes, as they require similar muscle group activation and encourage graceful body control while flying and spinning off the ground. No matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned aerialist, our Aerial Hoop classes are designed to meet you where you're at. With each class beginning with an embodiment practice, we'll ground you deep into your body before showing you how to fly high into the air.

Aerial Hammock

A softer approach to aerial arts, but no less challenging, our Aerial Hammock classes will have you feeling like a butterfly held in safety and support as you emerge from the cocoon of limiting beliefs around what you're really capable of achieving. Like our aerial hoop classes, our aerial hammock classes are great cross training option with our pole classes. The techniques demanded complement each other beautifully, ensuring you're receiving a well-rounded training that supports your growth. Whether you're a beginner aerialist or have been flying for a while, our skilled instructors are experienced in meeting you exactly where you are in your journey and calling you even higher.

Contortion Training

Need to stretch? We got you covered. If your goal is splits and back bends or stretching to relieve pain and daily tension, devoting time specifically to increasing flexibility and range of motion is key. Designed for all flexibility levels and with your safety in mind first, our contortion classes allow you to progress at your own pace with the support of our qualified instructors. The benefits of increased flexibility extend beyond splits and a flexy spine. With consistent stretching, you'll see the fruits of your efforts in your pole and aerial classes as you're able to create longer lines and bigger shapes with your body. Want the icing on the cake? Your freestyle dances will look and feel more easeful and beautiful as your range of motion expands to allow for more expression.

Other Offerings

Unbound

Feeling bound up and trapped in your body and your mind? Locked up and constricted in your hips and back? Congested with trapped emotion and trauma in your body? Sister, we've got you. Unbound is a therapeutic movement and meditation class designed to help you liberate trauma held in your body. We'll start at the ballet barre with sequences of movements to deepen embodiment and loosen tension, and end with deep breathing and stretching while Rhiannan guides you through a somatic plasma healing. Be prepared for deeply transformative healing and shifts with this offering.

Sister Space

We created Sister Space as a means for us to come together and be held in sacred sisterhood. Each gathering is guided by Rhiannan and flows with the needs of the group present. We discuss what's going on in our healing journeys, move through practices to support your ascension paths, sit with guided meditations and energy healings, and overall, just show up for each other to give love and support while learning from each other and anchoring a new frequency of Sacred Sisterhood between women on this planet.

Private Lessons & Healings
