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.

Jackie took her first pole class in January of 2017 and fell in love. While her dance background dates back to toddlerhood, no other style connected with her at the same level or felt more viscerally rewarding than pole. She was hooked. Almost immediately, she threw herself into classes, taking as many as possible and cross-training with yoga and weightlifting. Jackie took a huge leap in 2018 and participated in her first ever competition (PSO Northeast) and placed second in her division. In 2019, Jackie was invited to join the Elite Teacher Training Program, an extensive teaching and assisting program offered here at Elite. Her goal is to share the strength, empowerment, and joy she has found through pole with all of her students and peers.

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.
