Meet Brandon💜

Hey everyone I’m Brandon!

I’ve been pole dancing for about 5 years and teaching at DivaFit for about 4 of them. I love teaching pole, connecting the dots between our anatomy and tricks, and using that information to condition students on and off the pole. When I’m not at the studio screaming for joy or training, I can be found playing games, eating, and spending time with my dog Stevie, and eating.

Meet Elaina💜

I started my pole journey almost 12 years ago when a friend asked me out for a girls night. It was so much fun and I decided to keep taking lessons! 12 years later and I’m still here! Only now I’m not just a student, I’m an instructor! 

I LOVE being an instructor! I teach Intro to Pole and a Levels class (currently level 4). Nothing makes me happier than seeing one of my intro babies taking classes! I even had an intro student take classes, compete AND place at APC last year! I literally cried when I found out! 

And my levels babies are awesome! They’re so strong! I love watching them learn new tricks and seeing it finally “click!” Every week they amaze me with their enthusiasm and excitement!! 

I love introducing new students to pole! I want them to know that pole is a sport for every age, every gender, every body type…EVERYBODY!!

Do you want to start your pole journey? Then come join our Divafit family with pole level 1!

In levels 1 we introduce basic spins and dance moves, with a routine that incorporates everything you have learned during the session. Students will gain strength by building on the spins and moves learned in previous weeks.

Our leveled program is designed to build your strength, stamina, and flexibility over the course of the session. You’ll learn and grow with the same expert pole instructor and the same students every week, building lasting friendships and a stronger, more confident you!

Meet Candice💜

 Hi y'all! I'm Candice (or Candi Marie if you've seen me perform)! I've been pole dancing for a decade and just celebrated 9 years of teaching at DivaFit! My style of dance has transformed over the years, but most pole dancers know me for my intricate low flow combos and fluid transitions up the pole. I have a small dance background in jazz and hip hop; so, my favorite part of pole is hearing a song and finding some way to translate the music into my movement on or around the pole. If I could describe my personal dance style, it would be "funky strong." If the beat is funky, I'll dance and trick to it! Besides performing, I absolutely love being an instructor and coach. Creating a space where my students can fall in love with pole keeps my passion for pole dance ignited. 

To keep up with an active lifestyle, I cross train in other things, such as hand balancing, mobility training, weight lifting, and other aerial disciplines like lyra and aerial straps. Outside of teaching and training, I work as a full-time behavioral health program manager and consultant. It's my passion to support communities by improving behavioral health service delivery across the country, and I hope to continue on this journey for years to come. I'm also passionate about eating delicious food, traveling (to eat), spending time with my friends (eating), hiking, playing with my cats, caring for my plants, watching movies, and playing video games.

Now that you know more about me, I hope to learn more about you in one of my classes (They're always a vibe)!

Meet Alicia 💜

Hi, I’m Alicia and I am so excited to have joined the DivaFit instructor fam this year! I started pole two years ago when I was fresh out of the army and wondering where life was going to take me next-I absolutely fell in love! Pole allows me to be my best self and I am never unhappy after a pole or lyra class. I love that I can use my ballet/dance background which heavily influences my pole style.

When I am not in the studio I am at home playing with my kitties Bellatrix and Eevee, experimenting with a new vegan meal, training with my boxing instructor, or going to an EDM festival/show with my husband. I’m super excited to share my love for pole with others and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!

It’s competition time! Meaning it’s time to cheer on our amazing instructors and students! Not competing? No worries! Come to the studio this Wednesday April 5th between 5-8pm to create amazing posters and signs with to take to APC!

The studio will be closed for the next week! Enjoy your break and get plenty of rest!💜

Instructor Spotlight

Meet Michelle 💜

Hi everyone! I'm Michelle. I've been pole dancing for the past 7 years and I've been teaching at DivaFit since summer of 2021. I absolutely love all things flow oriented, learning new tricks and one of my favorite things about pole is getting to incorporate my love of dance into this art form. I have a background in ballet, jazz and modern and pole has allowed me to continue with that passion for movement. The pole community and my DivaFit family have been an incredible support to me throughout this journey. Outside of pole, I love painting and baking yummy treats. I also adore hanging out with my two year old daughter who, I kid you not, runs to poles on the playground to practice her spins already. 

Come check us out at DivaFit! Would love to have you in class with me.
