Party Faq's What should I wear? Typical workout wear is best. But beyond that, wear what makes you feel good! From yoga pants and a t-shirt to bootie shorts and a sports bra, it’s your party! You dress how you want to! We have a changing room, so feel free to change here. Please note: Rings and bracelets are prohibited while on the pole, as both the pole and your jewelry can get damaged. Cubbies are available in the dance studio space for you to store your personal belongings. **We suggest that you don’t apply oil-based lotion the day of the party. You will likely get extra slippery on the poles. Either forgo the lotion that day or you’ll need to wash your hands and legs thoroughly before heading back to the studio space. A glycerin based lotion applied earlier in the day will be ok, and may even help you with sticking to the pole. What shoes should I wear? Most people go barefoot or in socks. If you want to wear shoes, they need to be dance shoes, as in ballroom/contemporary dance shoes or platform pole dance shoes such as Pleaser. No outside footwear is allowed in the dance studio space. What is the space like? We have a front lounge area, changing room, restroom, and dance studio. You will have exclusive access to all of these areas during your party. Cubbies are available in the dance studio for storage of your smaller personal items such as phones and keys. Can I bring drinks and food? Yes! But no alcohol. If anyone appears to be under the influence upon arrival, they will be denied into class and no refund will be issued. We ask that you keep all consumables in the lounge area. No food or drink in the back space where instruction takes place. Water is the only exception. How strong do I need to be to pole dance? You can be an absolute beginner or strong athletic type. You don’t need to be physically strong to start pole dancing, but you will get stronger if you stick with it! Tell me more about these poles… The poles are professional quality dancing poles by X-Pole. They are solidly mounted to the structure of the building and have a 350lb weight limit. We have 6 chrome poles (industry standard) and 2 stainless steel poles for dancers with chrome allergies. What is the parking situation? It is free and plentiful! What if I’m pregnant, have an injury, or recently had surgery? Please tell your instructor before your party gets started so we can ensure your safety. Depending on the severity of your situation you may not be able to participate in all of the activities. What if I really like pole dancing and want to keep learning? We have lots of options for you! New students can take our 4-week Rebel 101 Series or join us for any non-aerial classes before committing. Beyond that, you have your choice of a monthly membership, class packs, or pay for each class individually by purchasing drop-in passes.

Studio Policies & Faq's What are the studio's policies? We don't have too many but there are a few simple policies and House Rules that we ask of everyone. Have fun and approach each class with an open mind Be respectful and courteous to your instructors and fellow Rebels If you are at a more advanced level, please register for the appropriate level class. If you choose to do a lower level class, we respectfully ask you to keep your movements to what is being taught or discussed. Otherwise you become a distraction for those that have not learned the more advanced skill or trick yet. Your instructor will give you variations, if needed. For any aerial classes, please remove jewelry- rings, toe rings, bracelets, anklets, and watches. Smart watches with silicone bands and no metal are okay. Poles, lyra hoops and aerial fabrics are not friends with jewelry. Please do not apply oil based lotions prior to class. This is a safety hazard, as they make your skin slippery and get messy as you sweat. Only dance shoes are allowed in the dance studio space. If you're not sure, please ask us. General rule of thumb is if you wear them outside, then they are not proper dance shoes. Please keep coats, street shoes/boots and bulky bags on the shelves in the change room. Any small valuables, such as keys and wallets, that fit in the dance studio room cubbies are welcome. Any items you need to have with you during class (water bottle, grip aids, phone, etc.) must be contained to one of the baskets available in the lobby upon check in. During classes, everyone's bigger items lined up along the walls is a safety issue and also inhibit proper movement due to less floor space. We know you want to show of your new found skills but not everyone is comfortable with that yet. No class spectators. We know you love taking photos and videos of our progress, and we encourage it, but please not during class instruction. Your instructor will give you some time at the end of class for photos and videos. Any videos from a choreo class must also be held off until the end. If you are posting any photos or videos on social media, we kindly ask that you tag the studio and give the instructor or choreographer proper credit. How much is a class? We have a few different class types; Pole, Lyra, Dance, and Conditioning. Drop In pricing varies. Click to see pricing options. I've never taken an aerial class. What class is best? If you've never taken a pole or lyra class before, one of our 101 Beginner Series is where to start. Once you've graduated, you're welcome to join us for other skills and tricks classes on the schedule. We also have several non-aerial dance and conditioning classes that anyone is welcome to join in at any time. Click to see all class info and descriptions. What do I wear? We want you to be comfortable. Wear whatever is easiest for you to move around in. For pole classes, we recommend shorts and tank tops at a minimum. However, beginners may be okay with t-shirts and capri length yoga pants to start. Dance and Fitness classes can be in typical workout or dance attire. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. But I'm not strong enough... You're stronger than you think! You don't need super upper body strength to start. Everyone starts the same, with their feet on the floor and most have little arm strength. With the muscles you didn't even know you had, you'll build up your strength very quickly with basic skills and tricks. Soon you'll to be able to do the more advanced tricks in the air and even go upside down! What should I bring? There's not much required. For pole classes, please bring your own cleaning cloth, a small spray bottle of 70% rubbing alcohol and any grip aides you may want to use. For any classes that are dancing with heels, they must be approved dance shoes. No street shoes. Mats and yoga blocks are available but you are welcome to bring your own for any conditioning class or stretching afterwards. Do I need to reserve a spot? Yes, please. Classes are tailored to who we know is going to be here. We also want you guaranteed to have a pole, a hoop, a chair or a space on the floor. I got wait listed. Now what? Well, class reservations were filled up. But you're next on the list if anyone cancels! When this happens, you'll get a notification that there's an open spot asking you if you'd like it. There is a time limit on your response before it goes to the next person, so act quickly if you want in! You may also check the class schedule in your account profile. If you know you can no longer attend, please remove yourself from the waitlist so that someone else can be moved up or bumped in. Is there parking? Yes, we have a parking lot. Feel free to park in any open space. Are classes only for women? No. We welcome everyone to participate in any class. The only rule is that students be 18 or older to legally sign waivers themselves.

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

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 @DancingBirdNerd 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.

Weeks 2 and 3, you'll need your leg skin exposed to learn your spins and tricks. Tank tops are also recommended but a tshirt is okay as well. Please do not apply any lotions the day of your class. We also ask no jewelry to be worn - rings, toe rings, bracelets, anklets and long necklaces. Watches with silicon straps and no metal are okay to wear. (Sorry, but poles and jewelry are not friends.) What about shoes? No need for shoes. All beginner classes are done in bare feet. Socks or grippy yoga style socks are okay, if you get cold tootsies. What if I have to miss a week? We know, life happens. If you know ahead of time that there's a week you cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible. If something comes up that day, please just drop us a quick email or call/text us at 540.940.7918 to let us know. Please do not just do a 'No Show' because it can hold up the rest of the class while we wait for you. Can I make up a missed week? Yes, of course! We want to see all our 101 students graduate. We allow make-up sessions IF we are notified in advance. Just let us know as soon as possible and we can schedule one for you. However, due to the high demand of these beginner series, all makeup sessions have a session fee of $50. Makeup sessions are the equivalent of a private one-on-one lesson and are subject to instructor availability. If you are a 'No Show' or 'Late Cancel' for your scheduled make-up session, that session fee is forfeited and an additional $30 'No Show' fee will be charged to your account. If you have any other questions or concerns before your first class, please email us at info@rebeldanceandpole.com.
