About Us!

High Desert Pole aims to offer high quality pole dance instruction to Southwest Colorado!

A longtime resident of Southwest Colorado, I began my movement journey in 2015 completing a 200 hour RYT certification the same year I graduated with my RN degree. I discovered aerial in 2017 where I spent time training & performing with The Durango Circus & The Secret Circus Society.

I found my love for pole dancing & the amazing pole community shortly after moving to back Denver in 2019. I trained with world class pole dancers, attended a 9 month pole teacher apprenticeship, and taught at Denver’s Tease Studio. Student safety, correct form to avoid injury, appropriate level progression, pole dancer anatomy, & safe spotting were highlighted in my training.

Missing the Southwest, I moved back to the area in 2022 & formed the Dolores River Collective in an attempt to offer affordable movement based classes to Montezuma county while simultaneously offering individuals who want to share their passion a space to do so.

You can currently sign up for pole classes at San Juan Circus in Durango!
