We are back again!!

SuperDuperAine — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 23:31:27 +0000

As of February 26, 2021, Lane County will move to the “High” Risk category, which means we can open at limited capacity for in-person classes! Class sizes will be limited to 4 students and 1 instructor per class. We will go back to normal rates for classes ($20/drop-in) and you can use your punchcard or unlimited monthly pass again, if you have one. We will also still keep our COVID-19 special private lesson rate ($30/hour for 1 person, $50/hour for 2 people) for folks who prefer not to join group classes at this time. All of these options are available on the Registration page. The class calendar is now updated for currently scheduled classes–check frequently, because we expect to be adding more classes according to demand. To reserve a spot in any of the classes you can contact us via the Contact page, call/text the studio (541-632-3550), or email any of the instructors linked on the calendar when you click any class for more info.

In-person private lessons allowed

SuperDuperAine — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 19:26:47 +0000

Great news–beginning January 29, 2021, we will be allowed to open for in-person classes with very small groups! According to the new state guidelines, we can have a maximum of 6 students in the studio, however, there can only be 2 households in the same class. Therefore, we expect that most classes will be limited to 2 students, unless you have roommates or family members attending class. It’s all a bit confusing, so get in touch with us if you have questions. Pre-registration is required! You can go to our registration page and request the instructor and time/day of lesson that works best for you. Advance online payment via PayPal is preferred, but let us know if you would like to pay in person when you come to the studio.

Open for in-studio classes!

SuperDuperAine — Sat, 16 May 2020 18:23:00 +0000

We have missed all your faces for the past month, but we are now re-opening for classes in person at our studio. During this time, we would like to ensure that all our students and instructors are safe, so we are implementing a few new policies.

We will start with 1x a day mixed level pole classes to ease back into our normal schedule. This will allow us to gauge the number of students feeling safe enough to come and take class, and for us to properly disinfect and air out the studio after each use. We will still be offering ZOOM classes in addition to our daily in studio class. We will update our schedule weekly.

Currently, we are limiting classes to 5 students so everyone can have their own pole. You can reserve your space in class by calling, texting, emailing, or messaging us on social media. If you want to drop in but haven’t reserved a space, just get in touch with us to see if there is an opening before you come.

While we don’t require a mask to enter, if you have one and are comfortable wearing it that would be best! Some of our instructors are immunocompromised and considered high risk. Their classes may require masks.

We do require students wash their hands before starting class and after.

We request you purchase punch cards online to limit the need to exchange cards.

We will not be using blocks, straps or yoga mats currently. Crash mats can be used, but need to be immediately cleaned with alcohol after. Floors will be mopped in between each class and all high touch areas will be sanitized frequently.

If you have your own clean washcloth to bring to wipe down your pole, please do. This will help us with the amount of contaminated laundry we will have to bring into our home.

We will be avoiding spotting during this time in order to adhere to social distancing.

We will need to screen each student for symptoms prior to class. If you are sick with cold/flu-like symptoms, please STAY HOME. We will be flexible with punch cards expiring. We want to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

How can you help us? Follow the above guidelines with patience and understanding. We want to get back to normal ASAP.
Thank you for your support and patience during this time.

Spotlight on our new instructor Jess!

SuperDuperAine — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 22:41:34 +0000

Jessica has always had a passion for music and dance since she was very young. She had always wanted to attend a dance class, however, she did not get the chance in her early years since her family moved around often due to being a Military family. In 2015, pole dancing caught her eye while she was living in Kansas when her roommate began attending aerial classes at a nearby studio. Curious to try a new form of exercise, Jessica signed up for classes immediately. She fell in love with the apparatus and continued her pole dancing journey even when she moved back home to the Chicago suburbs. Jessica has been teaching pole dancing since 2017. She competed and came in first place at the 2017 Central Pole Championships coordinated by Pole Sport Organization in the category for Dramatic Level 2. She has performed in many showcases and has choreographed many of her students’ routines for competitions; and they have also placed within their respective categories. Jessica has trained alongside many professional pole dancers such as AnnaKia Jackson, Nicole “The Pole” Williams, Dalijah Franklin, Roz “The Diva” Mays, and Alicia Archer. Jessica’s movement style is very emotionally driven and story-telling. Her artistry is in transitions and flow around the pole, as well as helping others discover their personal flow within their freestyling.

Polemic is so excited to welcome Jess to our team of fabulous instructors! She will begin teaching classes on Wednesday mornings in November – Beginner I at 9:00 am and Beginner II at 10:00 am. She is also available to host bachelorette/birthday parties and private lessons. Please inquire about scheduling if interested.

Punchcard system coming soon

SuperDuperAine — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:15:32 +0000

Hey all you current and prospective Polemic students, we are transitioning from the old monthly tuition to a new punchcard system. This should make it much easier for you to avoid the hassle of missed classes and make-ups. We will offer a 5-class pole punchcard for $65 and a 10-class pole punchcard for $110. Yoga classes will be able to use the punchcards also, but the rates will be lower and will be announced soon. For those of you who try to pack as many classes as humanly possible into one month, we will continue to have a monthly unlimited option, which must be paid at the beginning of each month. You can still make your payment online through our registration page, just make sure to fill in your name and email address so that we can put it on your punchcard.

NEW CLASS – High Intensity Interval Pole

SuperDuperAine — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 02:29:49 +0000

We’re taking strength training to the pole! This class is for anyone interested in both increasing strength AND reducing body fat. Anyone can join, regardless of level or previous experience. This is not a pole dance class; however, it will compliment any pole dancers training regimen and serve as a fun way for everyone to achieve their fitness goals! It is high intensity and mainly focuses on body-weight exercises with use of the pole. If you have ankle weights feel free to bring them along.

Best of all, your first class is totally FREE!
