Kayla’s pole journey began in 2019, when she convinced a coworker to take an intro class with her at Elite. She was instantly captivated by the artistry and athleticism of pole and knew she belonged in the studio.

Known for her fearless approach, her dynamic style emphasizes flips, power spins, and strength-based maneuvers that showcase her daredevil spirit and love for aerial arts.

Kayla’s journey took a pivotal turn when her first performance in Elite’s 2023 student showcase sparked a deep passion for performing and inspired her to compete in PSO’s Northeast competition that same year. She took home second place in level 4 championship and went on to win first place at PSO’s Atlantic competition the following year.

Kayla hopes to introduce students to the exhilarating world of pole, and inspire them push their boundaries by trusting in their own strength and ability.

In 2015, Amira set a New Year's resolution to take pole-dancing classes after being captivated by a video she stumbled upon online. Though it took her until the end of 2015 to get started, she immediately fell in love with everything pole dancing offered: the strength-building, the creativity, the dance and flow, and especially the sense of community and camaraderie. Recently, she completed her Intro to Pole Teachers training at Elite Pole & Fitness and is currently pursuing her Level 1-2 training certifications.

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.
