Classes: Lyra 101, Lyra Skills:Level 1, Lyra Skills:Level 2, Nama'stay Fit, Pole:Level 3, Pole:Spin Skills, WildCard Jasmine Rivera Caramel Karma 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!

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.

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.

This 4-week program will be all about learning the foundational skills for the start of your aerial fitness journey. A few questions you may have.... How much is it? Our LYRA 101 series is $125 for all 4 weeks. Each series runs for 4 consecutive weeks and each class of the series is 60 minutes of instruction. Because of the format of the series, each student must complete all 4 weeks to "graduate." **This series is non-refundable and cannot be carried over to a different or future series. IF you are unable to complete all 4 weeks, a credit on your account may be issued at the discretion and exception of the studio, dependent on specific circumstances.** What do I wear? Wear whatever is comfortable and easy to move in. Full length leggings are strongly recommended but capri length will be okay as well. Tank tops are also recommended but a tshirt is okay as well. Clothing is best fitted and not super loose or baggy. 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. What about shoes? No need for shoes. All beginner classes are done in bare feet. Regular 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 $40. 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 $25 '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.

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.
