Frequently Asked questions
Do I need prior experience in dance or gymnastics to do pole?
Absolutely not! Come as you are. What I love about this sport is that you can start at any age with little to no background in the aerial arts or dance. It’s beautiful watching people who doubted themselves grow into the amazing athletes they were meant to become!
Can I WEar lotion & jewelry to class?
Unless you want to slide off the pole every time you get on - I do not recommend applying any lotion, up to 12hours prior to class. Additionally, jewelry can damage and scratch the poles and flooring (plus you’ll be damaging your jewelry too); so please leave your bling at home or take it off prior to class.
What’s the difference between a private lesson and a class?
A private lesson is 1-on-1 time with me for an hour and costs $60-$75 sliding scale for SW’s and $80 flat rate for pole hobbyists— this rate includes the studio rental fee.
A class is a group environment with 3+ students learning predetermined movement with me for an hour, including warm up & cool down, at $35 per person per class. Currently, Batcave Poledance & Fitness only offers private lessons.
How do I book & pay?
Book your lesson now through the scheduling page. Payments will be made, in full, during the booking process. Payments are accepted through Paypal & Stripe. All payments are subject to the TOS agreed upon during the booking process.
What’s the difference between a SW and a pole hobbyist?
A SW (sex worker) is an individual who sells sexual services in exchange for money (i.e. stripping, escorting, camming, sugar babying, domming etc.) either for survival or for love of their job. A pole hobbyist is a person who enjoys pole sport for fitness & enjoyment.
What should I wear?
Please come in t-shirt, booty shorts, sports bra, bikini, anything that’ll show a lot of skin since you’ll need as much grip as possible! Bring knee pads if class will be doing floor work!
What type of heels should I wear?
I highly recommend wearing stripper platform heels for class. In fact, I find them easier to walk in than regular heels since the angled platform and heel help keep the weight distributed and provide support. The benefits of wearing stripper heels are that they improve your posture, elongate your legs giving you sharper lines and make your routines look sexy! Companies like Pleasers and Club Hella Heels are good places to start browsing if you’re interested in dancing with heels.
WHAT ABOUT BACHELOR & BACHELORETTE PARTIES?
Yes. All parties start at a base rate of $600 up to 10 people. Tips are optional and appreciated...
I have two options for parties-
2hours — I come to you, mount/dismount my pole and provide entertainment: this can include a private show, and/or lap dances. This option requires advanced booking: minimum 3days notice prior to preferred date.
1.5hours — You come to me and everyone gets their own: this includes a group class for the party, and either a private performance or a lap dance! This option requires advanced booking: minimum 1month notice prior to preferred date.
Where will classes be taking place?
As a traveling artist, I offer group classes in multiple locations, including my home and Black Box Creative in Austin, Texas.
I offer private lessons in studio environments & home environments.
