NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Michelle Stanek
I am an internationally-recognized pole dance performer and instructor known for my "sexy contemporary" style that blends sensual movement with the grace, extension and control of my classical dance background.
I am a passionate and dedicated instructor. I co-created both XPERT and elevatED: pole dance fitness and flexibility teacher trainings, to help instructors provide informed, thoughtful experiences to their students. I travel the world offering signature workshops, judging competitions, and performing. I am an instructor at Body & Pole in New York City.
Prior to my full-time pole dance career, I earned a B.A. and M.A. in Art History.
"I really appreciated the masterclass.
It was concise, clear, practical, and informative. For me it served both as reminders I needed to hear along with helpful new nuggets of wisdom (ways to highlight agency to students, pros and cons of seated warm ups + keeping warm up the same or changing it up). The extra resources included with booklet are also greatly appreciated touches!!

"Michelle’s classes are incredibly unique! Her dance focused warm ups have everything from utilizing the space between the pole and your body to dancing with straps around it and I always feel inspired and ready to dance with my whole self before class even begins."

"I think this is an amazing checklist! I’ve been teaching for about 2 years. My classes are starting to book and these are great reminders. I want to leave my students a little more energized by the end of class and I love the tips to remind them of their agency!
