Emilie S.

Emilie started dancing at just 3 years old. She has always favored tap and jazz. After a long break from dance, in 2019, she began her fitness journey and wanted to get back into gymnastics or dance. After struggling to find adult classes that worked for her, she discovered pole in the summer of 2021. She instantly fell in love and would rarely go a day without touching a pole. Pole met her fitness needs by intertwining strength and dance. In 2023, she began her teacher training program at Elite Pole and Fitness. Emilie combats depression through pole dancing and strives to spread happiness, laughter, and knowledge to all Elite students. She aims to create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment so that everyone can progress and meet their goals comfortably. She continues to perfect her sport through Elite and has set a goal to overcome her stage fright so she can perform in a competition or showcase. When Emilie isn’t attending or teaching a pole class, she is enjoying her full-time job as a hairstylist, cooking and baking, or hanging out with her dogs, family, and friends.

Emilie S. instructs the following:

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