This Think Thank Is For You If You...

STRESS about teaching

Have nothing unique that draws students to YOU

Feel like your classes are lacking
Feel insecure in how you deliver your class experience

Want to offer MORE inside your sacred space, but don't know what or how
Want booked out classes!

YES, I NEED THIS!

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 appreciate Michelle's Pole Teacher offerings!

Her Masterclass 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."
