Cassie began her fitness journey studying Ashtanga yoga and meditation. She later tried CrossFit to build strength, leading her to body building in 2014, which she still does today. In 2015 Cassie discovered pole dancing and had been hooked ever since, providing a channel for her pursuits of flexibility, strength, and grace. Cassie began teaching pole dance in 2018 and continues to broaden her pole experience by taking workshops both online and abroad.

Cassie's specializes in the technicality of pole tricks, and she loves combos that fit moves together like a puzzle. Her background in weightlifting has steered her teaching focus toward form, technique, proper muscle engagement and body awareness. She is a firm believer that consistency and determination can make your pole goals a reality.

Taylor (she/they) took her first Intro to Pole class in January 2020 and hasn’t looked back. While her fitness journey included childhood dance classes, completing two half marathons, and weight lifting, nothing made her feel as graceful and strong as pole dancing. She was invited to complete the Intro to Pole Teacher Training program at Elite in 2023 and is currently working on completing the Pole Level 1-2 Teacher Training. Taylor’s goal as an instructor is to ensure every student feels welcome and can confidently express themselves through pole dance. When she is not at the studio, she is at the gym or home with her two cats.
