Eve
Hi I’m Eve (she/her), the Owner of Savor Studio! I am a Queer, Hispanic, Woman from New Mexico! I revel in being a low flow erotic dancer! The dirtier the better! As a teacher, I love helping people feel safe, seen, and successful! I want people to enjoy every ounce of what they are learning and feel confident in what their body can do! I have an inappropriate sense of humor and a delightful awkwardness that you will surely encounter in my classes.

Jeni
Hi, I’m Jeni P. (she/her) and I am Savor’s Studio’s Operations Manager! I am a former stripper and have years of experience helping run other small businesses in Seattle. I LOVE making sure both students and instructors have an amazing experience at Savor Studio. Although I have experience working in a club, I have very little actual training and consider myself at the beginning of my pole journey! I look forward to seeing you all around the studio and in beginner classes starting to learn how to dance for myself.

Sarah B aka Madame Daddy
Hi friends! My name is Sarah Baker (she/her). I am a mixed-race, Japanese American, Queer, Woman from Seattle (born and raised). As an instructor, I want to see my students explore and push their boundaries. I want to give them the encouragement and support that they need to achieve their goals, have fun, and come into their own personal dance style.

Succubus
Hi! I’m Jordyn (she/they), the instructor for Tantalizing Twerk. I’m here to teach you how to shake ya ass and pop it on a handstand. I find that dance is best when it’s experienced without judgment, and that’s what I’d like to emphasize in my classes. While twerking takes technique, it also takes quite a bit of relaxation. I want to have fun in class, and I wanna see some booties bouncing!

Danielle aka Belladona
Hi! I’m Danielle (she/her). I’m a queer, plus-size woman. Outside of the studio, I’m a scientist, a kid mom, a dog mom, and a certified nerd. As a teacher, I want to make sure every dancer feels safe to explore their own individual style by reveling in what feels good. I love to explore variations on a move or shape to make sure everyone in class finds something that works well.

Hannah Joy
My hope is to give students and fellow dancers permission. Permission to be themselves, to take up space, to find their own signature. I want to cultivate a space where dancers get to live in the moment of movement. Perhaps that is reveling in their own strangeness; or finding restful and rejuvenating rolls around the room; celebrating the joy of dance or your erotic self; giving in to your duality as a mover.

Shelly F
Hi, I’m Shelly (she/they), a delightful queer goofball I love performing, seeing live theater, LARPing, and generally finding cool weird things to do with people I love. As a teacher, I want you to walk away from my classes feeling like a million bucks. I love to help you feel confident in your movement and provide a safe place to try new things. I am pretty goofy so expect to laugh but also, I love nothing more than finding the beauty in YOUR unique movement.
-
Caitlin
Hi, I'm Caitlin or CC (She/Her). I have been dancing for most of my life and I started pole in 2015! I love the little victories that come with pole dancing, from the technical moves to the soft and sensual breakthroughs, pole and erotic movement have always felt like home. I am easily excitable, wildly expressive and everyone's hype girl! I produce shows around town featuring local pole dancers, burlesque artists, musicians and more!

Iris aka Izzy
Hi I’m Iris/Izzy (they/she)! I’ve been pole dancing since 2013 and dabbling in other dance styles and circus arts along the way. I have a gymnastics background that’s given me a lifelong love of adrenaline and abundant experience adapting movement to different bodies. As a teacher, my goal is to empower you to take charge of your own dance journey by giving you the tools, support, and space to discover movement that’s right for your body, and cheering you on as you realize abilities you didn’t know you had.

Gingy
Hi! I’m Gingy (she/her), the main instructor for Succulent Stripper Style at Savor Studio! I am a tattooed, fiery, Irish redheaded woman. As a teacher, I love sharing my passion for pole dancing by creating a judgment free, supportive space to learn and dance. I want every student to feel that they are both challenged and feel that they have learned something they can add to their dance. To me, it’s important to listen to what your body needs – emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Jeni aka The Lebanese Blonde
I’m Jeni, aka The Lebanese Blonde. I’m a Queer Kitchen Witch from the Kitsap Peninsula. As a teacher, I hope to create a playful, supportive experience where dancers can sink deeply into their bodies and the music while showcasing their unique skills and artistry. As a 43 year old woman, I really want to support folx who are curious about pole and sensual movement at every age, and allow students to feel successful and seen when they come to my classes.

Marisa aka Marigold
Hey there! My name's Marisa (she/her) and I'll be one of your instructors here at Savor! I like to think that I create a warm and welcoming environment that encourages exploration and vulnerability in movement styles. You can expect lots of leeway and time to add your own embellishments to movement, some weird humor, and lightheartedness that makes classes so fun to take! I will focus on technique and layer on the "extras" over time.
-
Jenna aka Ella Jay
Hello! My name is Jenna. I love to move. I have been part of the Seattle pole community for over 10 years! My teaching style is upbeat and technical. I strive to break down movements and find modifications for students so that they can access new levels of power and flexibility and find a deeper connection with their bodies. Warm-ups are my jam!
-
Morgan aka Andromeda
I'm Morgan (or Andromeda) She/Her. I've been dancing around the PNW my whole life. I've been teaching movement for over a decade from ages 3-adult. Some days my teaching style is playful and silly, other days it's deep and meaningful. I love creating connections with my students and trying to read the needs and energy of the room. My favorite moments are seeing the cogs turn in someone's mind until the "Aha" moment.
-
Sarah aka Lola
I'm Sarah/Lola (she/her) and I'm here to help you tap into your joy! As a teacher, I am relaxed and encouraging, with the goal of you feeling good in your body. I lead with humor and love to tap into playful energies, both mine and those of people around me. I especially hold space for silliness, chaos, experimentation, characters, and storytelling.
-
Sasha
I’m Sasha (she/her), a chaotic-neutral pole bat who is happiest when dangling upside down in implausible shapes. For me, teaching is a natural extension of learning, and I encourage my students to explore different feelings, emotions, and facets of themselves while they dance. In my technical classes, I emphasize form and control. You’ve learned a move when you can do it on your own; you’ve mastered it when you can dance it forward, backward, upside-down, slowly, eyes-closed, on the other side.
-
Elizabeth W
My name is Elizabeth W (she/her). I am an instructor, striptease dancer, and fat activist. I love to encourage dancers to do what feels best to them—which can often include taking my exercises and combos and completely ignoring them to do what feels best. My ultimate goal is to train radical dancers who feel comfortable exploring all ranges of their own creativity. I believe in the philosophy that you have to learn the rules so that you can discover the best ways to break them!
-
Jane LePow
Hi, I’m Jane LePow (she/her). I’m a self-described snack-lover, playlist-maker, and loud laugher. I’m a musically-driven instructor and love creating classes with the beat as my inspiration. I’m an anatomy nerd and love to make conditioning fun. I firmly believe moving together in space deeply connects us to ourselves and each other, and I take incredible joy in curating that space. I’m so excited to meet you!

River
Hiya! I am River, a queer swer, artist, gardener and witch rocking five Gemini placements! Teaching is so rewarding for me and I’m grateful to serve the Savor community as an instructor. I love to reverse engineer a trick! Breaking down techniques into bite sized steps adjusted to the person learning and seeing students progress with their personal dance goals gives me so much joy and satisfaction. I’ve learned a lot about how to meet people where they are at and help folks feel comfortable with their erotic energy from being a photographer and incorporate that into my teaching style.
