She started taking classes at Pole Hale to learn new tricks, meet like-minded people, and become more comfortable in her ever changing body. After massage school, studies in kinesiology, and years of sports training Lyn looks forward to continuing her journey in dance and self-love here at Pole Hale as a forever student, instructor, and now owner of Pole Hale.

Veda
Instructor
Veda grew up dancing and performing, taking dance classes from ages 6-21 that included hip-hop, contemporary, aerial silks, and even an internship at Broadway Dance Center in NYC. Since starting pole in 2011, she has gotten more in touch with her body and more comfortable with being sensual. Her Liquid Motion training and then teaching Liquid Motion/Movement Sanctuary has really helped with that.
Veda is really passionate about creating community, organizing events such as Saturday in the Studio to highlight other women and bring people together to share their skills and passions.
In addition to poling, Veda has over 15 years experience in the education field (tutoring, rock climbing instruction, belay certification, rappelling/scout certification, outdoor educator, and science education).

Max
Instructor
Max has been with Pole Hale for the past 5 years as a student. This last year she upgraded to instructor!
Max started her pole journey to enhance body awareness and to become unashamed in her sexuality. Her favorite part of pole is that it has healed her relationship with women. It also allows her see the light in everyone without judgement! The body positivity at the studio is amazing and makes her feel so comfortable in her own skin.
Max's primary hobbies outside of pole are cross training, scuba diving, and being immersed in a fantastic book, but her main hobby is sleeping.

Keelee
Instructor
Keelee Jade has been dancing at Pole Hale for 4 years. She began teaching Movement Sanctuary classes in 2023 and loves to get her students rolling around the floor with both exploration and intention. She has also begun teaching 101 classes and loves to introduce new students to this community.
Her goal as an instructor is to help you feel more comfortable in your body by focusing on how the movements feel and quieting that inner critic to let your body move how it wants to.
