KIM HOLMGREN: CO-OWNER & INSTRUCTOR

​

Hi! I’m Kim. I’ve been pole dancing for 6 years because I love the feeling of achievement that comes from nailing a new move, mastering a combo, or improvising something cool. I know how scary it can be to try something new, and it’s important to me to create the welcoming community I’ve found time and time again in the pole studio. My focus as a teacher is helping students progress safely through a combination of on-the-pole training and off-the-pole conditioning. I teach pole, conditioning, and flexibility classes and I can’t wait to be a part of your pole journey! I’m also a certified X-Pert pole instructor and a NASM-certified personal trainer.

CARLI TYGART: INSTRUCTOR

​

I’m Carli. Mom of five and “Grammy” of three. I took my first pole class on Mother’s Day 2015 and it completely changed the course of my life. I learned so much more than cool pole moves or sexy dance. I learned to love myself and my body. I gained friends who have become family. I gained self confidence and a desire to stop being “small” in my life. Pole and my pole family helped me find the strength to finally leave an unhealthy marriage and choose myself.  It continues to be a guiding light in my life. This is why I’m so passionate about sharing pole with others.

COURTNEY PEASE: INSTRUCTOR

​

Hi there! I grew up here in Bremerton and danced on my high school dance team. Fast forward to COVID times living in Salt Lake City, I was watching a documentary on pole dance, self expression and confidence building. I LOVED the idea of finding fun ways to work out and use that creative outlet, so I signed up for 6 weeks of classes immediately (just so I could say I really gave it a shot). Clearly I fell in love with it, because here I am a few years later, still dancing, and finally putting all those hours of team practice and pointing my toes to use.
