The Gem Pole Dance Studio 

Nicole took her first pole class in 2015 and it was love at first try. Pole introduced her to the most accepting, encouraging, body positive community she's ever been a part of. it not only gave her confidence and the knowledge of what her body was capable of, but also a safe place to discover, explore and express her sensuality. She started teaching in hopes of being able to share those things with others. Nicole is certified in Pole and Liquid Motion and comes from a dance and climbing background. She has been teaching pole for 5 years and founded The Gem in 2023.
