Athena Vertical Dance

Jane Courtney started out as a marathon runner but picked up pole dancing as an activity to do on the side. Over 13 years have passed and she has never looked back. Jane and her friend, Noelle Wood, traveled the country to learn from the top pole professionals, which inspired her to compete and become a certified instructor. Soon after, Athena Vertical Dance was born in Tacoma, Washington.

Whether it’s your first time attending a pole fitness course or you’re already a seasoned dancer, Jane’s studio has something for everyone. Athena’s aerial arts and pole fitness classes range from accessible intros for newbies to learn at their own pace to conditioning courses and advanced choreography flows. 

Pro-tip: The studio also offers remote classes so you can get fit whenever and wherever.
