We’re nearing the 3-year anniversary of @fullcirclebrooklyn , and the opening of @fullcircleharlem is imminent. It seems like a fitting time to revisit the values that are the foundation of Full Circle. Yes, we offer pole dancing classes, but it’s really about bringing more of these values into the world.

I started pole dancing over 12 years ago at a stripper-owned studio in Portland, OR. I was young, sheltered, disconnected from my desires, wanting a creative outlet, insecure in myself, and lonely in a new city. Pole dancing for me has been a long journey towards finding these values for myself - Connection, Creativity, and Compassion.

It’s going to bring something different to everybody that tries it, but at least at full circle I know that every one of our instructors embodies these values in different ways, and I am so thankful for everyone who has taught inside the studio walls.

Full Circle Values

Although Full Circle offers pole dancing classes, the studios and their offerings are primarily a vehicle for the values we want to see embodied more in this world. Our goal is that this space offers all who participate in it increased access to connection, creativity, and compassion. We’re grateful to have inherited the artform of pole dance from the strippers who created it and are honored we get to share it in all its power and evolution with our community.

Connection

Any type of movement can be a powerful tool for connecting to oneself. The unique challenges and opportunities that pole presents make it an especially potent way to connect to your strengths, softnesses, fears, and abilities in ways that encourage growth. By making the studio a non-competitive environment, pole also becomes an amazing way of connecting with others. In this space we cheer each other on, and recognize that there is no singular way to pole dance. By celebrating our differences we can connect more deeply as a community.

“Gratitude for each artist who showed up fully. Floorwork asks for vulnerability and authenticity. You brought depth, heat, and heart. Thank you!” -@rumilovenpole taken in Full Circle Brooklyn by @fullcirclebrooklyn

“This month @fullcircleharlem, we celebrated two special milestones for the Full Circle community at our Anniversary Social. Our founding studio, @fullcirclebrooklyn turned 5 years old, and the Harlem studio turned 2 years old! We laughed, ate great food, walked down memory lane, and of course, we danced! Thank you to every single person who has walked through our doors, whether only for a few times or for the last few years. We never could have imagined how big our Full Circle community would grow, and that is truly because of you all!

A special thank you to all the businesses who also helped make this event extra special! Our celebration would not have been the same without the great prizes, food, special discounts, and recovery station provided by the local businesses that showed so much love to our Full Circle community! @ofrendayogastudio @theharlemmethod @harlemkettlebellclub @echands4health @juiceryharlem @liquidmotionct @stressknotnyc 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Cheers to hopefully many more years dancing with you all!” -@marissamovements

Wednesdays in October at 8:30pm with @tendrrbendrr⁠
⁠
Soft Spin: a low flow spin series⁠
⁠
In Soft Spin you’ll glide your way through low flow sequences on spin pole. This series will introduce new ways to play with dramatic sweeps and intricate footwork, all while softly spinning around the base of the pole. Students should be comfortable with Level 1 foundations and have advanced-beginner spin pole experience. ⁠
⁠
Socks are highly recommended for each class. Heels are optional.⁠

⁠Fridays in October at 7:30pm with @nitachicklikeme_inheels⁠
⁠
Heaux Flow- Kuntditioning Series⁠
⁠
Ever watch a sexy flow, see a seamless, seamingly ‘easy’ move and wonder why it’s hard to replicate? It’s because sexy is hard and requires just as much conditioning as those advanced pole tricks! ⁠
⁠
In Kuntditioning, you’ll learn exercises and sequences that will transform your movement quality both on the pole and the floor. Requests are welcome, so feel free to throw your most awkward feeling move in the mix so we can add fluidity and sensuality to that bish. ⁠
⁠
Kuntditioning will help you find the sauce you’ve been missing. taken in Full Circle Brooklyn by @fullcirclebrooklyn

Hello Full Circle Fam! Emily here, Full Circle’s founder with a personal inivite to YOU and a post of immense gratitude. If you didn’t already know we’re having our anniversary party THIS SATURDAY in Harlem. @fullcirclebrooklyn is turning 5 and @fullcircleharlem is turning 2.

In honor of this anniversary, I want to show ENORMOUS gratitude to all of the instructors who have made this studio a home for our students, and have not only taught skills, but made people feel welcome and supported in our spaces. Since I can’t fit all of our instructors in one post, I’m going to highlight some OG Full Circle staff. These teachers were not ONLY on our opening team, but you can STILL find them either on the weekly schedule, or teaching series and subbing classes at the studio.

Check out these throwback photos from our opening photoshoots by @ceciliadebucourt_photography @jesskirkhamphoto and @w4yvideography. And SHOW SOME APPRECIATION to your favorite instructors in the comments!
Leave a comment complimenting your favorite instructor on this post and you will get an additional FREE raffle ticket at the party this Saturday (prizes include, merch! free classes! a free private lesson with your favorite instructor!).
