We are thrilled to invite you to our first-ever pole dance retreat in upstate New York during the fall of 2024. Our Lovely Lioness Instructors are highly experienced in teaching pole dance and will lead creative workshops that cater to all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
This retreat provides an excellent opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in nature. The serene atmosphere will allow you to relax and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. You'll enjoy the beautiful fall foliage of upstate New York while connecting with other participants and learning new pole dance techniques. Our affordable retreat experience includes multiple sessions and workshops, and we offer the option to pay over time for your convenience. The workshops will focus on creativity, and you'll have the opportunity to learn new choreography, pole moves, and spins.
Apart from pole dance, there will also be other activities, such as guided meditations, yoga, and hiking, designed to help you destress and connect with nature. We believe everyone deserves a retreat experience, and we aim to provide a unique, inclusive, and affordable opportunity for you to treat yourself. Spots are limited, so don't hesitate to secure your spot and join us for an unforgettable retreat experience.

She gives Pole Dancing credit for helping to reshape the relationship she has with her body, mind, and community by creating the space to decide what feels right for her. In 2020, a newfound love for pole emerged from watching her students also learn what feels right for them, realizing how capable they are, and taking that new confidence into the world.
