Circus arts quickly caught her attention when discovered that they could satisfy both of those needs, and her journey began as an AcroYoga instructor and performer. After teaching, learning and performing acro internationally, aerial arts became the next big focus, and how she met her first real love, lyra. Pole was a natural next progression, and where her heart lies today! Gracie opened Pole Fiction on Feb 1st, 2020, and has since then been even more dedicated to bringing the joy of pole to any and every BODY that is willing to take that first leap. Gracie has multiple certifications including a 200 hr RYT, Elevated level 1 Pole Certification, Movement Flow Level 1, and a variety of acro and aerial trainings under her belt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/7705714c-0699-4b1b-86d9-e357d904bc4c/josh+photo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/66519914-0e7d-45cc-a85f-414ab27e2e62/dreamyTimes-19-2.jpg Our Instructors - V McIntyre V (she/they) hails from Seattle, Washington and moved to Hamilton, Montana in 2010. She found the flow and circus arts scene in Missoula and never looked back. V has performed multiple disciplines on varying stages across the Northwest. From stilt walking to fire dancing, from Weird Al at The Wilma to Paradiso at The Gorge, and everything in between. (Maybe you've even been to a Coach V Pole Showcase Extravaganza at The ZACC?) V began teaching pole in 2021. She is certified by Xpert (Xpole) in Aerial Hoop and Pole L3/4. Their classes range from beginner to low advanced and they take pride in finding successes for each student, regardless of skill level. WIth the experience of teaching group fitness since 2017, combined with the skills taken away from competitive gymnastics in youth and strength training as an adult, her classes are well-rounded and provide strong foundations for growth. Expect V's classes to be heavily structured but light-hearted with a sense of community. What students are saying: “Alongside her amazing strength and physical skill, V has an incredible brain for teaching. I’ve never had a teacher so tuned in to my exact skill level and needs, especially one who has so many students every week. I picture her brain like a rolodex with all of us students and our needs stored neatly inside! Talent doesn’t automatically come with the ability to teach your talent, but lucky for us V has both in equal parts.” You can find V teaching weekly at her own single-pole private studio and monthly (plus the occasional guest appearance or pop-up class!) at Pole Fiction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/286bf31d-c7a0-4e16-95a3-4e151a16cecd/tay+photo+for+website.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/57442b1d-85df-4444-8f6d-c49d40513478/IMG_9048.jpg Our Instructors - Marty Corette Marty has a lifelong love of creative arts and has found tremendous joy in the movement and community of pole dancing. Marty first discovered the embodied magic of pole dancing at the original Pole Fiction studio here in Missoula and immediately became enamored with the dynamic exercise. She is a true believer that pole is for every body and aims to provide a fun and welcoming atmosphere for all while promoting body confidence, self-expression, and skill development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/06bb0021-632d-4094-8f06-2a3410c78f80/megan+photo.jpg https://www.polefictionmissoula.com/classes daily 0.75 2024-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/2a10ac37-0c25-440c-a2fd-92675cc3fc49/tempImageZwMXIU.jpg Our Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/1583035000893-C3O3YZGZQR2U7BQV5EJ4/02.13-PoleFiction-RioChantel-Final-54.jpg Our Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/1583034721928-54BA29YR1H92XMDMY9W9/02.13-PoleFiction-RioChantel-Final-121.jpg Our Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/4826d434-1e54-4cd3-9ef4-ee8c4a9506d5/t%2Bt+photo.JPG Our Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/1583035101246-EMFJ8UGW99D6H1W6ASYC/02.13-PoleFiction-RioChantel-Final-77+%281%29.jpg Our Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/4da0d687-8775-4125-9146-8da071ab8eb6/1.5+photo.jpeg Our Classes https://www.polefictionmissoula.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-03-01 https://www.polefictionmissoula.com/foundations daily 0.75 2024-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/1583034949916-WSNVQR5IOKB7SMUFLQI2/02.13-PoleFiction-RioChantel-Final-24.jpg Foundations - Welcome! You’re in the right place if: You’ve never ever pole danced before. Ever. You want to. We’re so glad you’re here! If you’ve never ever touched a pole before, and you want to try it out..our instructors are ready to guide you! Our team of teachers is KNOWN for their ability to make students feel comfortable trying pole for the first time and guiding them through what the student finds achievable. Remember: ALL of our instructors started out where you are now! Sound like what you’re looking for? Pole Foundations is the class for you! Below are the links to sign up: Sign up for Pole Foundations Mondays at 7:pm with Josh Sign up for Pole Foundations Saturdays 10:15a with Tayler Still not sure? Need to know exactly what happens in Pole Foundations? We get it! Here’s a run down. When you walk in the studio, you’ll set your things down in the lobby, you can bring your waterbottle and phone into the actual studio. When class begins your instructor will guide you as a group through movements and stretches on the floor to warm up. (ie arm circles, gentle hamstring stretches, etc) The warm up does not involve the pole. Time to get to know the pole! In class you’ll learn poses and moves at the base of the pole. For example: How to walk on the floor around the pole, how make pretty poses while standing on one leg, using the pole for balance. We’ll also go over some basic movements to learn how to swing your legs around the pole to spin! Andddd, if you’re feelin’ frisky (which you probably will be) you’ll have the option to learn how to mount the pole. Be sure to wear shorts if you want to learn how to go up the pole! We’re SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU!!!!! Yes, you can pole with us. https://www.polefictionmissoula.com/location daily 0.75 2022-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e33418c5d21eb4f38e5a2ef/5d57dbb0-5908-44cd-b114-b51887d1f738/IMG_7910.jpg Location - We’re so glad you found us!
