Old School

I was cleaning out old computer files the other day and I found some pictures of the old studio on Harrison in Ogden. Most of our current students didn't get to see our starter home. But for those who were there to help us become what we are today, enjoy these memories!

Notice how the pole room got made over three times!

Pole Art Competition 2010

Oona Kivela (Finland) won this years pole art competition. She is one of the most amazing pole dancers I've ever seen! She takes the pole and puts a dance/gymnastics spin on it. She doesn't do anything provocative, yet everything she does is so so interesting.

With up and coming starletts like Oona, how can you say that pole fitness and pole dancing is just a fad? Pole dancing is here to stay! I watch this piece and I see something that combines dance technique, rythm, gymnastics, and strength. Watch this video and see for yourself. Go Oona!!!

What not to wear.


New students are always asking what they sould wear to class. So here it is :)

Pole & Aerial Hoops
Short shorts (if you feel comfortable enough). Showing some skin will actually help you stick to the pole, long pants will just make you slide right down. A sports bra is always a good idea. Think about it....mommy boobs hanging upside down on a pole...mine would fall right out the top if it weren't for my sports bra :)

As far as shoes go, most students prefer bare feet. Some students like dancing in platform shoes. It's just a personal choice. However, in black light we highly recommend shoes. You can buy platform shoes in the lobby at either studio.

You will want to invest in a bottle of dry hands for $8.00 (sold at the studio). It will make your hands stick to the pole. This is especially helpful if you accidentally wore lotion the day of class....or you just have naturally clammy hands.

Aerial Silks & Dance Trapeze
For these classes you want to dress the complete opposite of the pole. Leggings or sweat pants, long sleeved cotton shirt that also has a long torso. Bare feet....and yes a sports bra :)

For silks and trapeze, it is wise to get some rosin or firm grip. This will help your hands to stick to the apparatus. Both of these can be purchased at the studio.

All other classes (hip hop, jazz, zumba, yoga, etc)
Dress as if you are going to the gym. Sweats in any length (shorts, capris, or pants), tank top, sports bra, tennis shoes, and a bottle of water. Dance clothes are always welcomed to jazz and hip hop but they are not required.

Does anyone have any other questions about what to wear?

Student loses 30 lbs!

"Meagan,

A little over a year ago I stepped on a scale and saw a number larger than I’d ever seen before. I don’t know how I got there, maybe a little bit of depression mixed with a desk job, but needless to say I wasn’t happy about it. All of a sudden I was buying size 12 jeans when there was a stack of size 3 jeans in my closet. My lovely sister Niki, a teacher at your studio, came over to my house one day and put a pole in my home office and it didn’t take long for me to be hooked. After 6 months of pole fitness and making trips up to Ogden for classes I lost almost 20 pounds.
When you opened Pearl I began to take silk classes and in a short 2 months I dropped another 10 pounds! Being able to come to classes more often and the new challenge of silks boosted my weight loss and I’m happy to say, 30 pounds later I’m at a happy, healthy, sexy 126 pounds!

Thank you so much Meagan and Niki, for taking on all the hard work of running a business and opening up a new world to me. Pole and silks have made me more confident than I’ve ever been.

- Your student and web designer, Suzi"
