Pole Series
At Flight Fitness Studio©, we are committed to creating a personalized experience for every student, recognizing that each individual has unique goals and aspirations. We believe that Pole is not just a workout—it's a blend of fitness, dance, and art, with sensual movement being an integral part of the expression. Our curated 8-Week Series are designed to encompass these elements, with classes available at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, as well as our exciting new Low Flow and Exotic Flow Series. Every series integrates both static pole and spin pole, offering a balanced and dynamic approach to your practice.
Our levels are based on skill development, not simply the number of series you've completed. It's common to revisit levels, especially in the Intermediate and Advanced stages, as there is a vast amount of content to learn and master, often requiring more than one series to fully progress. As long as you’re enrolled in a Pole Series, you’re welcome to drop in to any other Pole Series classes throughout the week at a significant discount, giving you the flexibility to stay on track and continue to grow. Please see below for the skills both required and learned in each level. With small class sizes—4-7 students for 70 minutes and 8-10 students for 85 minutes—you’ll receive personalized attention while being part of an inspiring community.
Pole classes that involve sensual movement are reserved for those 18 years of age and older (unless signed parental consent is given for those 16+).

BEGINNER
Levels I, II, III
Every Pole journey begins with mastering the basics, and our Level I or Level I/II series is the perfect starting point for those with little to no experience. In these foundational levels, you'll dive into spins, transitions, floorwork, and dance, all while building strength and flexibility. From day one, you'll also begin to prepare for inversions with upper body and core exercises like pole-ups. As you advance from Beginner Pole I to II, you'll introduce climbing, sits, and basic holds from the floor, progressively expanding your skillset. Please start to bring shorts to class at this level. Level III takes your practice further, introducing inversions that start from the floor and laying the groundwork for more complex pole inversions.
Beginner levels have a larger focus on the dance foundations, setting a strong, fluid base, than do our Intermediate and Advanced levels.
All beginner levels may be repeated at your own pace—giving you the time and space to feel confident before advancing to Intermediate Pole. As you grow in your practice, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Get ready to embrace your pole journey with passion and progression!
INTERMEDIATE
Levels IV, V, & VI
Intermediate Pole is where your confidence and technique truly begin to soar. Building on a solid foundation of basic pole inversions—descending such as laybacks and hips-over-head movements like the basic invert and crucifix—you’ll gain greater comfort inverting and start mastering leg hangs. This series also introduces elegant upright aerial poses, holds, and more complex spin combos and advanced climbs, allowing you to explore new dimensions in your pole practice.
As you progress, the focus shifts to refining your inversions. You'll perfect techniques like the chopper and apprentice, and dive into more challenging inverted holds, including the butterfly and allegra. Clean leg and torso switches will become second nature as you add more complexity to your flow. Upright aerial poses and spin combos continue to evolve, alongside innovative ways to climb.
Taking inversions to the next level, you'll explore shoulder mounts, aerial inverts, and iguana mounts. More intricate aerial poses, like extended butterfly and D, will prepare you for the challenge of two-point contact inverted tricks. Expect to build on unique combos, seamless transitions, and reverse climbing to refine your skills and prep for the next level.
All Intermediate Pole series are designed to be repeated at your own pace, ensuring you’re fully prepared and confident before advancing to Advanced Pole.
ADVANCED
Levels VII & VIII
At the Advanced level, you’ll begin to master the art of fluid, complex movements with a focus on two-point contact inverted poses and dynamic combos. Techniques like the Ayesha, straight edge, jackknife, and fang will become integral to your practice, challenging your strength and creativity. These poses are introduced through transitions from inverted repel positions, as well as from floor-based variations of handsprings and deadlifts, with the ultimate goal being a seamless flow into aerial deadlifts and intricate holds.
Advanced Pole also pushes the boundaries of flexibility and power, incorporating more demanding tricks that require both strength and mobility. Expect to dive deep into refining advanced techniques, mastering the balance between fluidity and control, and continually evolving your pole artistry. This level is where true mastery begins to take shape, with each move building upon the last in perfect harmony.
LOW FLOW
(Non-leveled)
This Pole Dance Series is an authentic movement class focusing on aesthetic, artistry, and control. It incorporates low flow/basework, floorwork, and heelwork (heels optional) instead of movements up and down the pole. Think more dance, less sport. It's main focuses are on control, musicality, and tempo alignment rather than power moves, inverts, and flips. Explore sensual movement and fluidity as you embrace your feminity and passion to release what your body has to offer. You can already do the moves; let's make it pretty. The class warmup will add breathwork to your physical movements to allow your body to perform at it's best.
From beginners to veterans, everyone is welcome and will learn unique moves and combinations! If you are newer, one 8-Week Series of Pole Level I or Level I/II is required (or the equivalent if coming from another studio).
Since this is a non-leveled Series, most choose to take it in combination with their level Pole Series, while some decide to solely repeat this Series every eight weeks.
EXOTIC FLOW
(Non-leveled)
Hard core warm-up and conditioning will prelude you for what's to come. Think of this pole class as combining the fluid and sensual elements of exotic pole dance with the acrobatic and athletic side of pole sport fitness. Emphasis will be on flexibility, strength, and intricate choreography characterized by the use of heels, floorwork, and dramatic expressive performance.
Even though this is a beginner level class, even veterans who might by newer to Exotic will benefit; therefore, everyone is welcome and will learn unique moves and combinations! If you are newer, one 8-Week Series of Pole Level I or Level I/II is required (or the equivalent if coming from another studio).
