From Ascension Pole and Dance
More than a studio. We are a community that includes of all kinds of pole dancers; the athletic, the sexy, the strippers, the artists. We believe everyone deserves to experience the benefits of pole dance and sensual movement. The #APDcrew affirms all body types, genders, backgrounds, and levels of dance experience. There are no weight limits, or expectations that each individual body will perform the same. We aim to change the industry. We engage with our student base to better understand what our studio vision should be. We commit to being active in our larger community; actively anti-racist, pro-SWer, body-affirming, queer AF (we are queer/trans owned after all!), and decolonizing the fitness/dance world.
