Taylor S
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.
Taylor S instructs the following:
- Intro to Pole (First Level)
- Pole Level 1 (must have completed Intro level)
- Intro to Pole (First Level - 1 per pole)
This is our foundational level and is designed for brand newbies and beginner-level polers. We will work on all the basics to build strength for the next level up, and the coordination needed to take our choreography-based classes (called Pole Flow). You will learn basic pole spins, pivot turns, climbs, and sits.
This is a pole-sharing class. This style is great for students who like a higher energy vibe, want to meet new people/socialize more, and/or want a little more rest time between tricks.
When is it time to level up?
When you can do a fireman spin and back-hook spin, can easily get into a pole sit, have a strong basic climb to the ceiling, and can climb into a sit. You should be able to tuck with both feet off the floor. Instructor approval is required to move up to Level 1.

This level works to build the coordination and technique for more complicated skills. We will work on more advanced sits and climbs (forearm climb, side climb), knee holds like jasmine and martini, and get comfortable with more complicated and demanding spin tricks. We will work on building strength for our choppers and getting comfortable in basic inversions.
When is it time to level up?
When you have a strong forearm climb on both static and spin. You have a strong chair spin, and you can invert into and hold a bat comfortably. Your tucks should be strong, and you should be close to or able to do a chopper.

This class is one per pole. Which is great for students who want a smaller more intimate class & more time to work on tricks.
