Passionately Poling One Trick at a Time
By Charo O'Neil One weekend afternoon, I met Salis Charming at the Benefit counter at Ulta while she was doing my then-teen daughter's brows. I had previously heard about Pole fitness from a professional dancer friend, so when Salis told me she was teaching and opening a studio, I was super excited!

Ali London - Pole Instructor
written by Ali London My name is Ali London—a pole dancer, server, bottle girl, bartender, festival vendor, content creator, and (my favorite role of all) pole instructor. If I had to sum it up in one sentence, I’d simply say: I’m obsessed with pole dance. I love how pole brings feminine and masculine energy together, and how it blends grace and strength at the same time. That balance fascinates me. I first discovered pole dancing in 2021 at a small strip club in San Diego, C
