Bri has been pole dancing since 2015, when she stumbled into a class in Kalispell, Montana, as part of a newspaper story she was writing. In 2017, Bri started participating in pole competitions, earning a gold medal at Aerialympics in Portland, as well as placing first at Pole Sport Organization’s Emerald Pole Competition in Seattle and second at the Northwest Pole Championships. Bri started teaching pole dance in 2019, and has been teaching at O-Pole Studios since they opened their doors in 2022. She is X-Pert certified, and her favorite part of teaching is helping students find confidence in their movement and a love for the sport.

Fox started pole dancing in 2016 and has trained on many other apparatuses over the years, however pole and lyra remain her favorites. She loves the way flowing in tall heels can take on a meditative feeling, getting you out of your head and into your body. Fox believes that there is no right or wrong way to dance as long as you're doing it safely and she is excited to help others find their unique style. If she isn’t dancing you can usually find her hanging out with her husband and their deaf husky, doing nail art, or eating charcuterie on her paddleboard.

Zoelle was born and raised in Bellingham, WA and is an explorer at heart. She sees movement as a form of self-expression and self-exploration, whatever that movement might be. Zoelle loves to bring different styles together to create a dynamic expression of self through movement, and believes the role of teacher is to hold space for each student to discover their internal wisdom as they learn about and love their own self. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Bellingham Yoga Collective in February 2024 and has been taking classes at O-Pole since November 2022.

I grew up bellydancing and fell in love with dance in general, tried pole a few years ago and never stopped spinning! I love seeing how fast students progress and often make up strange analogies to describe muscle movement on the pole. Find me on insta at @likereallymilk !
