Studio Shots
What Makes Us Different
At Diane's pole studios, you'll get not just the "what," but also the "how" and the "why" of every pole move. You'll get suggestions like "shift your weight to the other foot" and "put your outside hand on top" and "watch what my feet do here," to make pole accessible. One of our mottos is "Can't isn't a word here unless it's followed by yet."
Diane is trained and certified to teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced students; Kathy and Stacey are trained and certified to teach beginning and intermediate students; Sammy is certified to teach beginners. All are certified through the Pole Fitness Alliance (formerly PoleMoves), the most trusted source for pole fitness professionals. PFA training focuses on the basics: techniques and safety; so our students gain a solid understanding of the finer points of any pole move.
The PFA has also certified Diane to train students who want to be instructors. She's authorized as a trainer for instructors of beginning (Level 1) students and is working toward authorization to train intermediate (Level 2) and advanced (Level 3) instructors. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, please let Diane know.
Because of our training and our commitment to helping you succeed, we provide patient, attentive instruction that ensures you'll leave every class with at least one "I did it!" moment. You can do it! Come and see!

What to Wear, Where to Park
Short shorts and a tank top or crop top are best. We need skin to grip the pole! Bare feet are best, but bring heels if you'd like, and let me know. No lotion, please, except oil-free lotions such as O'Keefe's Working Hands or Corn Huskers Lotion, or a commercial grip aid. No rings or other jewelry on hands or wrists please, except FitBit-type watches.
In Colorado Springs: Please pull right up onto the gravel on the front or side of the house (in what would be our front or side yard if it wasn't parking spaces). Please don't park on the street unless all of our off-street parking spaces are full. (You'll block others from being able to pull in or out.)
In Westby: Turn on the side street (Maple Street) and pull into our driveway off that street. Come in the patio door, through the entry, and through the kitchen door.
At both locations, just come in! There's no need to knock or ring the doorbell. We're expecting you!
Our Rates
All Classes
All of our classes are 80 minutes long. Parties are a bit longer; that's negotiable. We also sometimes rent the studio to folks we know, for unsupervised practice sessions.
Our online Morning Workout sessions are about an hour long, three days each week, and are free! See details below.
Private, Practice & Package Rates
In both studios, one lesson costs just $20. We have discontinued our package deals in Colorado, because in 2024, Colorado minimum wage will be $14.42. Because our lessons are 80 minutes long, in order for our instructors to earn more than minimum wage and us to cover our operating expenses, we must charge $20 per lesson. Thank you for understanding.
You can pay in cash or Venmo, either in advance or when you arrive. For first bookings, we reserve the right to require prepayment. Plus, if you develop a pattern of canceling, we may require prepayment before accepting your booking.
Studio rental for practice is $30 for one hour. (It costs more than a lesson because it's more of a privilege to use our equipment without us in the room.)
In Westby, because of the lower state minimum wage, we also offer a package of 10 classes for $150. You must pay the entire $150 in advance to get this deal. Together we will track your "punches." And yes, you can share this package with friends you bring to class!
Pole Parties
For your 90-minute event, we'll provide an instructor who will teach you basic pole skills and a flirty routine, and table space in case you want to bring food and/or beverages (adult beverages are okay). We'll give you extra time to decorate too, if you want, up to two hours for setup, party, and cleanup. You get all this for $75.
FREE Online Morning Workouts
On Mon-Wed-Fri, Diane leads an online morning workout on Zoom. It's at 8:30 am in Colorado, and 9:30 in Wisconsin. You don't need a pole, just a yoga mat and a pair of hand weights. Wear comfy clothes. You don't even have to turn on your camera. Log into Zoom, enter Meeting ID 719 233 8982 and Passcode 654321. You'll join the group for about 50 minutes of warmup, exercise, and stretching. No need to pre-register; just log in! (The session is also available ANY time on YouTube. Text Diane for details.
