NEW MONTHLY SOIRÉE ✨✨✨

Presenting BADABOUM!!! 😈💜

Our very first BADABOUM night will be Saturday April 27: 7pm-9pm (Pole Room) & 7:30pm-9pm (Aerial Room) 💜

This monthly shindig is your moment to shine on the pole, in the air (hoop or hammock), or own the dance floor, all while an intimate crowd cheers you on. It’s time to let your inner flirt out to play, connect with your fans, and just have a blast!

We have spots for 14 stars to light up the stage, and each performer can bring 1 friend to play, learn & watch, so hustle to secure your place!
The beginning of each BADABOUM will consist of beginner pole/aerial moves so that your friend can learn what you do, and then we will spend the rest of the night performing for them! 💁‍♀️

✨We have 8 spaces for the Pole Room and 6 spaces for the Aerial Room. Everyone must register through the app 📲
✨Registration is $40 for Pole Room Performers & $35 for Aerial Room Performers, AND you get to bring 1 person along to watch for free! 👯‍♀️
