Camille Lawson, Pole Instructor
Camille grew up in a family of fitness and outdoor enthusiasts, spending her early years biking, playing tennis, horseback riding, and working at a rock climbing gym. Her love for movement has always been rooted in curiosity, adventure, and pushing her limits. After years of running, bouldering, and practicing yoga, she began seeking more expressive forms of movement — and found her way to dance and pole.
In December 2017, Camille took her first pole class and instantly fell in love. She began teaching in 2019 and has since expanded her practice to include aerial yoga, lyra, and sling. In 2023, she competed at Pole Sport Nationals in Raleigh, NC, earning 2nd place in the Entertainment Senior Level 3 division.
Camille has trained with a wide range of industry professionals, including Doris Arnold, Jax Spencer, Gemma Lux, Hogweed McNasty, Medusa Mamiii, Bentley Rebel, and Heidi Coker. Today, she teaches pole, aerial yoga, flexibility, and beginner lyra — helping students explore strength, confidence, and creativity through movement.

Sarah Belanger-Payne, Pole Instructor
Sarah has been pole dancing since 2021 and brings a strong background in both personal training and social work. For her, movement has always been a powerful tool for stress relief, expression, and connection. Since starting her pole journey, she has competed in three pole competitions and performed in numerous showcases and freestyle events.
With years of experience in teaching group fitness, Sarah also spent nearly two years teaching pole in Richmond. Beyond pole, she has trained in Lyra and aerial silks — though pole remains her first love, she enjoys exploring all forms of aerial movement. Sarah’s classes are grounded in strength, creativity, and encouragement, making them a welcoming space for all levels.

Meg Yvonne, Owner & Pole Instructor
Born and raised in the cold but beautiful state of Maine, I found my passion for fitness while hibernating in the gym through long winters. Over the years, I’ve explored many training modalities—from CrossFit to running—before ultimately falling in love with strength training, especially Powerlifting.
In 2016, I began my journey as an independent personal trainer and have since trained clients across the U.S. and abroad. While living in Spain, I discovered pole dancing—and instantly fell in love with it. That experience opened an entirely new chapter of movement and self-expression that continues to inspire my work today.
I take pride in a science-based, structured approach to training—one that fits your life, feels enjoyable, and delivers sustainable, long-term results.

Mary Jane (MJ) Pole Instructor
My name is MJ, and I’ve been immersed in the world of dance for nearly five years. Over time, I’ve fallen completely in love with pole dance—it's become my greatest passion and creative outlet. I’ve had the privilege of performing in Enter the Garden, a pole-dancing “opera,” and Dreamland Cabaret, a burlesque showcase. I’m inspired by all styles of movement, but teaching and sharing the joy of dance with others is what truly drives me.
My favorite move? The choker jade split—every time!

Keri Ann VanLandingham, Yoga Instructor
Keri Ann has been teaching yoga since 2018 and brings over 14 years of experience in strength training, including a year of powerlifting. She blends functional movement and mobility work with traditional yoga to help people own their movement and build confidence they can carry beyond the mat.
Her training began in 2016 with a 200-hour certification from Asheville Yoga Center, plus over 300 hours of ongoing education. Keri Ann’s classes invite students to explore their bodies with curiosity, try new ways of moving, and develop tools that add value to their daily lives.
She creates a genuine, no-judgment space where everyone can show up as they are and connect with movement that works for them.

Helen Joy Harrington, Pole Instructor
Helen Joy is a joyful, exuberant, passionate dancer who wants to share her love of embodied movement. Pole has been a way for her to connect to her body and change her inner voice to a positive one. Pole has been a catalyst for so much healing, strength, and growth in her life and she’s excited to help connect others to their bodies and their playful and sensual sides.
My favorite pole move is a hood ornament.

Stephanie Nicole
Stephanie was born and raised in Hendersonville, NC. She took her first pole class in 2015 and fell in love with it. While pole remains her first love, she has also trained in silks, sling, and liquid motion. Stephanie has also performed in four separate student showcase acts. Two liquid motion acts, one solo pole performance, and one doubles pole performance. She is excited to start a new chapter in her pole journey with teaching and helping others to find their passion for movement!
