Meet The Team Shana Robinson Lady London Shana, aka Lady London, began her pole journey in January 2016 due to lack of dance classes for adults. While growing up in London, England, she trained with Footloose School of Dance and spent a few years assistant teaching before becoming a qualified Associate Dance Teacher through the IDTA in 2008. Shana has continued to grow her expertise through certifications and continuing education. With passion and an eye for creativity and movement, Shana loves helping students build confidence, express themselves, and achieve their goals; whether that's dancing for fun, preparing to compete, or simply letting loose in the studio! Competitions: 🥉PSO Atlantic 2019 "Entertainment" 🥉PSO Atlantic 2018 "Dramatic" Leah Racco CinderLeah @LiquidwithLeah Leah has been involved in some form of dance her whole life, from classes growing up to teacher assistant and even a choreographer for local theatre groups back home in Buffalo, NY. When she discovered pole in 2011, she was instantly hooked. Becoming an instructor was just natural. Since 2015, she has loved watching her students grow in strength, skill and confidence, and has enjoyed helping to guide them through their own dance journey. In October 2023, Leah was 1 of the 6 chosen models for the Liquid Motion Movement Project to help promote the diversity of dance and movement, and bring about change in the community.

Teaching choreo classes is her passion and her favorite part of teaching is the students. She says they often teach her how to enjoy the moment and always have fun, even though they are the ones there to learn. “Being apart of an inclusive and empowering environment is why I love Rebel Dance & Pole!” Competitions: 🥈PSO Atlantic 2023 "Entertainment" Christian Cannedy Twisted Ivy Janisse loves sharing her passion for Yoga, Lyra and Spin Pole with her amazing students. She loves to see their faces light up as they learn new tricks, combos and accomplish skills they’ve worked so hard on. Her favorite part about teaching is providing variations for moves, challenging them and supporting them so each and every one leaves feeling strong and successful after every class. Janisse Mitchell Jasmine had a passion for dance while growing up and spent several years in different dance disciplines. In the early 2010's, her focus and training shifted more towards Theatre and African Dance. However, as life progressed, she drifted away from dance. After having her daughter in 2019, she needed a means to rebuild her self confidence and that was when she found Rebel Dance & Pole. She began her pole journey in May of 2021 and has never looked back. With becoming an instructor, she wanted to help people find their “why” within dance and pole, whether it be to just check a box or fall in love with the art like she did. She looks forward to seeing you in class soon! Jasmine Rivera Caramel Karma NaCole Williams CocoLuxe NaCole, stage name CocoLuxe, began her pole journey in 2019 and hasn't stopped perfecting her craft since. As an instructor, she's passionate about helping people fall in love with their bodies and appreciate what they're capable of. Pole is both challenging and rewarding; it pushes you physically and mentally, but the growth that comes with it is unmatched. The most fulfilling part of teaching is watching students of all shapes, sizes, ages, and experience levels accomplish things they never thought possible. Those moments of confidence and breakthrough are everything. NaCole's goal is to create a safe, supportive space where students can build confidence, have fun, and learn to love themself through movement. She wants every student to leave feeling empowered and proud of what their body can do. Julie Stoneham Cardinal Synn Julie is the prime example of a passionate student turned enthusiastic instructor, and loves to introduce new students to the world of pole. Growing up, Julie participated in ballet, marching band, and color guard, which developed into a love of performing. As an instructor, Julie's goal is to help students break free and strives to guide each and every student towards surrendering to the positive power of dance. Competitions: 🥈PSO Atlantic 2023 "Entertainment" 🥉PSO Liberty 2022 "Dramatic" Jules Allbeck Firelight @Cannypuca Jules says "I used to be the first to say I'm not much of a dancer, but pole has changed that!" She took an interest in pole after watching videos of all the cool things people could do, and was ecstatic to find out Rebel existed. In February 2020, Jules completed the REBEL 101 series ...and then everything shut down. Upon returning in the summer of 2021, Jules became a regular face at the studio, and plunged headfirst into the world of pole dance. She performed in her first showcase with Rebel this past October, and absolutely loves telling story through movement. Being an instructor, Jules loves to see students find their own individual styles and expression, and is always thrilled to celebrate their successes, no matter how big or small. Maddy, aka AchaSLAYsia, has been with Rebel since day 1. She has been poling for just over 6 years and quickly fell in love with pole tricks and low flow style. Maddy loves to perform in Rebel showcases, where she is known for floorwork performances. Over the years, she has worked hard to build her low flow skills, which led her to be recently certified in Liquid Motion 1.0 in October 2023. Maddy Pike AchaSLAYsia @Achaslaysia Aaliyah has been a passionate dancer since high school. After graduating, she explored various forms of dance disciplines in college and spent over 13 years in the world of Hip Hop, Belly Dancing, and Sensual Dance. When Aaliyah found Rebel, she knew it was the place to be to continue her movement journey, and made the leap into the enchanting world of pole dance in 2023. As an instructor, her goal is to guide students in unleashing their wild side through the art of dance while embracing freedom and self-expression. Competitions: 🥈PSO Atlantic 2023 "Heels" Aaliyah Choi Goddess Leo KeiKei SToves-Tucker Harlot Noire KeiKei's introduction to Rebel was attending the 1st Anniversary student showcase in 2019, which instantly made her fall in love with pole and the possibilities it could have. She signed up for a class and has been dancing ever since. Her only prior experience had been dancing with friends or in her living room to Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits. As an instructor, KeiKei strives to help everyone find their own spark and place in this community, especially when they don't fit the status quo. Her go-to phrase during class, “When in doubt, feel on yourself.” Competitions: 🥇PSO Atlantic 2020 "No Pole, No Problem"

Check out where we started... A lot of work in just under 3 months. Thanks to the help of family and friends, we got it all done in time for our Grand Opening on September 28th, 2018. Staff room Front lobby Front lobby Front lobby Changing room Hallway Staff room Nasty carpet that was removed We got this! There was an additional room? That room was removed! The heaviest and biggest desk EVER! Additional room almost gone. Staff room Studio room 1/3 The Studio History Get To Know Us In 2018, Rebel Dance & Pole was initially founded by 3 women who were passionate about dancing, teaching, performing and competing. They met at a local studio and quickly became supportive of each other and other students who were all training for their first major competition. In spending months rotating between the homes of all the competitors, it became clear that they wanted to establish a more permanent home for all who wanted to learn more, continue competing and grow their strengths. With the support and encouragement from fellow dancers, family and friends, the studio was born. Why the name Rebel? A 'Rebel' is a person who resists any authority, control, or tradition. Rebels like to challenge the status quo. And that is what we want to do with dance; to break societal norms and provide a space to just be ourselves. The name Rebel was chosen because pole dancing is still stigmatized across the globe. We want to showcase that pole dancing can be any style that the dancer makes it: contemporary, lyrical, dramatic, entertaining, or of course, sexy. So join us in rebelling against societal dance expectations, and let your inner REBEL out to find your own creative style! Rebel Boss Babes Shana & Leah Dance is our passion and therapy. Together, we come from decades of dance experience in multiple disciplines between the US and UK. Finding the world of pole changed our view on how we can continue to feel strong, confident and body positive after aging out of traditional dance programs. We created REBEL to allow all who want to dance in a space to learn uniquely, rediscover themselves and feel a sense of family & community. #itsgoodtobeaREBEL #itsallloveatREBEL Meet The Team Find us on Instagram
