O-Pole Studios started from an idea that Dar and Alicia had one day after taking a few pole classes in the Seattle area. We had over a decade together of owning studios and teaching movement classes and we were hatching a new idea. It was a few years into Covid and we were missing group fitness classes. We had decided to try pole dancing to keep strong and express ourselves through movement, so we joined a few classes and took private pole lessons. The more we discovered about Pole and ourselves through the movement, the more we knew we wanted to bring our newfound love to Bellingham. We are both people who found movement and fitness later in life in our mid 30’s and by this time we were well into our late 40’s to mid 50’s. We know what it is to start a class and feel somehow different or uncomfortable. It is with this personal knowledge that we put our energy into making sure our studios create a safe and welcoming place for you to express yourself and build confidence. We hope you will reserve a spot in class and start your own journey into movement or continue the one you have already begun. Join our community and feel the good vibes!
