Indulge In Yourself.
Own Your Magic.
Have The Audacity.

At Studio Nightshade, we encourage you to Have The Audacity. Release the weight of expectations. Put yourself first. Say sorry less and no more. Prioritize your pleasure. Celebrate your sexuality. Give yourself permission to do, be, and become exactly who you want to be.

We don’t call ourselves “pole fitness” because for us, pole dance goes much deeper than just the latest exercise craze. We won’t reduce our worth to numbers on a scale, and frankly, neither should you. Studio Nightshade is an embodied movement haven for people who love to dance. Who seek to connect deeper with themselves and others. Who want to laugh, learn, sweat, struggle, succeed, explore, emote, discover, and yes of course, dance.

Dedicated to sensual movement both on and off the pole, and grounded in solid technique for all levels, this is the perfect place to start or dive deeper into your journey as a dancer. With a strong focus on details, expression, and individualism, the goal is for you to gain the skills, comfort, and confidence to learn to listen to your body, make your own choices, and dance like you. Because you are the magic.

Within these walls, you’ll find a team of people who are unapologetically themselves, intensely passionate, and a hell of a lot of fun. We approach life and movement with curiosity. We welcome challenges and the growth and expansion that they bring. We believe a community is only as good as the people in it, so we hope to help you discover your best self through the power of movement.

Created by a proud, queer, woman of color, Studio Nightshade welcomes people of all races, ages, sizes, religions, abilities, and gender expressions. We are committed to being a space where students from a variety of backgrounds can come together in the spirit of connection, respect, openness, and most of all sharing our love of dance.

We have a zero tolerance policy for any and all forms of prejudice or hate.
