Natalie Schmidt

Meet Natalie, a passionate instructor who began pole dancing in 2012. She fell in love with the community, confidence and physical strength she achieved while also admiring the evolution of her movement journey along the way. Known for her energetic teaching style, Natalie strives to empower students of all levels to discover their strength, confidence and sensual side through pole dance. She loves to create unique and dynamic choreography that invites you to embrace your body, reclaim your space, and unleash your fierceness. Natalie provides a fun environment for everyone to feel comfortable and embrace your sexiest self.


Natalie Schmidt instructs the following:
  • Pole FLOW: Intro Level (must take 3 Intro to Pole)
  • This class is designed for our poler that wants to try Pole Flow and is feeling apprehensive about diving right in. Intro to Flow moves a little slower and has a less technical focus than any of our other Flow classes, making it perfect for our students who are new to dance or choreography-based classes. We do require that students have taken a minimum of 3 Intro to Pole classes prior to their first Flow class, as we want you to have some familiarity with pole and the basic spins to help follow the choreography as it is taught. Knee pads and socks are strongly recommended (heels optional).

  • Intro to Pole (First Level)
  • 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 is a pole-sharing class. This style is great for students who like a higher energy vibe, want to meet new people/socialize more, and/or want a little more rest time between 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.

  • Pole Level 1 - 2
  • This level is open to all students who have completed Intro and are ready to invert and work on level 1 and 2 skills, which includes advance spins, climbs, choppers, leg hangs, combos and more!
