A comprehensive online program to help beginner polers stop feeling awkward and develop a base of dance movement, freedance flow, and trick technique so they can become confident well rounded pole dancers
I love Sergia and the Pole Dance Foundation course and portal. It is easy to follow and helps you breakdown many beginner pole tricks. I have truly seen what I never learned from the first time being taught something. I also like she adds all the flowy gestures with the basic moves to make you become a “complete” dancer. It is also fun to meet polers from all around the world who, like me, enjoy the journey of learning this dance style.

LET'S BE CLEAR.
Learning how to pole dance isn’t all graceful spins and perfect combos.
After the initial rush of your newfound passion wears off, it's normal to hit a plateau and have no idea what your next step should be.
You have what it takes to be a confident, well-rounded pole dancer who can skillfully express themselves through movement. You just need some guidance along the way.
You dream of gracefully climbing and spinning around the pole
But right now, you might be feeling...
Uninspired
by the random disjointed tricks you know, and want to be able to connect your movement into graceful sentences
Awkward
and super clunky in your movements, that look nothing like you envisioned they would
Stuck
because the moves that you are are being taught aren't appropriate for your level (you aren't begin offered scaffolded training!)
Frustrated
because you feel that your weight or body type is keeping you from attempting your dream moves
and on top of that, maybe you're
always getting sidetracked by #lifestuff and losing your progress
not being kind to yourself as you're learning, and getting impatient with the pace of your improvement
getting discouraged by comparing yourself to others in your pole class or online
sick of training by yourself at home without any structure, support, or company
feeling uncomfortable in your own skin
overwhelmed about returning to pole after a long break
I KNOW you have what it takes to become a well-rounded pole dancer that embodies flow, strength, and presence. You're ready for a new approach to pole dancing so that you can skillfully express yourself through movement and have FUN along the way!
How would it feel to...
Learn to flow around the pole and transition between your tricks
Have the confidence and skill to perform on the pole, and nail your performance!
Know exactly what to work on each day - no more feeling stuck, staring at the pole
Turn on your favorite song and freedance through the whole thing without forgetting everything you know
Avoid unecessary injuries that set you back
Feel confident in your body and move freely!
This is exactly what you'll learn how to do in the Pole Dance Foundations Program!
The Pole Dance Foundations Program was created to arm you with the knowledge to fasttrack your pole progress and get you well on your way to finding your JOY as you go!
An online step by step video course portal, monthly coaching calls, and a private community of support will guide you in your pole dance journey so you can be excited to practice each day, knowing exactly what to work on next.
Wow! Let me just start by saying, this program is definitely what I’ve been missing in my pole practice.
Since the pandemic, I’ve been back and forth between virtual classes and trying to teach myself via YouTube, neither of which have been very satisfying... or successful. When I saw this, I thought “Well, I’ve already got YouTube AND virtual classes… what more am I really going to get from this?” But I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did!!
First of all, the course is really well organized. Sergia provides every detail for setting up for success in a way that is straightforward and easy to follow. The structure of the website makes it simple to track my progress, go back to my favorite videos, slow down or speed up the playback speed and piece together everything I am learning in the process. It’s really fun!
If I could sum it up in a sentence, I would say that this course allows me to go at my own pace (which I don’t get from live classes) while maintaining the structure and consistency I need to improve (which I don’t get from YouTube).
Despite the nice features and organized structure, I also just find it inspiring. Sergia’s passion for dance is infectious and her philosophy on pole really embraces the art and fitness of pole dancing. It’s holistic, comprehensive and empowering. I haven’t seen anything quite like it!
To end, I would say that this course brought joy back into my practice. It no longer feels like a drag to have to “train the hard stuff”. It just feels like playing and having a good time.
Overall, I would rate my experience with Sergia’s Pole Dance Foundations Course a 10/10. Highly recommended!

The Pole Dance Foundations Program Follows a 4 Part Framework covering everything you need to become a well-rounded pole dancer that can both freedance and fly
01
ACQUAINT
Set up for success with your partner, the pole!
When we aren't familiar with the tools we are working with, we end up wasting time trying to solve problems or issues that are easily avoidable or may not even exist! You want to start ahead by priming your mind, your body, and the pole for all the new info you are about embody!
In part 1 of the program you'll focus on the info you should know before you ever start your physical pole dancing journey in order to set yourself up for success with your partner, the pole (including pole recommendations and discount codes, grips, clothing, shoes and more)
02
ADOPT
Create a Base of Immediately Accessible Pole Movement
These movements become your default and allow you to flow from Day 1. When you have a solid base you create confidence that keeps you moving forward.
In part 2 of the program you'll learn grounded footwork basics that are required knowledge for ANY poler so you can create a base of default movement that will stay with you for your whole pole career!
03
ORBIT
Use physics to create maximum efficiency
The key to progressing at lighting speed is knowing some key secrets. The problem is not everyone knows pole secrets like these, so there's a lot of people working harder than they have to when they're learning.
In part 3 of the program you'll begin to fully understand the science of round movement around a fixed object as you master the tecnhique of pole spins by using physics to create maximum effiiciency!
04
LIFT OFF
Begin to ascend and perfect in air techniques
When it comes to pole tricks, every time you learn one new "in the air" move, you've really learned MANY. You gain strength and awareness with every skill you work on, often accidentally preparing you to nail other moves that you weren't even focusing on in the moment.
In the final phase of the Pole Dance Foundations program you'll focus on aerial pole tricks technique and conditioning so you can begin to pair your dance movement with aerial movement!
Did someone say BONUSES?
You'll also get the
Pole Dance Conditioning Mini Course
Without conditioning, the pole tricks you learn won't last. That's why I'm including this mini-course made up of 14 conditioning follow-along exercises to give you the tools to strengthen and solidify your new pole skills ($150)
Floorwork 101 Module
Even though you're learning pole dancing, a huge part of making your pole skills fluid and connected is floorwork. It is how you dance your way back to standing after a spin to the floor, or how you move from pole to pole during a routine or freedance. In this bonus module of the course you'll learn important floorwork skills that you can pair with your new pole skills! ($60)

Don't stay stuck spinning your wheels and trying to guess at exactly the next steps to take
I've seen time and time again that when you try to figure it all out on your own, you end up discouraged and burnt out. You end up falling prey to comparison, get frustrated by a lack of progress, and too often, end up walking away from pole dancing completely.
YOU AREN'T THE PROBLEM.
You just need a strong solid foundation rather than piecing together random youtube tutorials in order to become the pole dancer you've always dreamed of being. The Pole Dance Foundations program will show you how
Sergia's online pole course meets you where you are. The user-friendly format is well organized and accessible but allows students to jump around enough based on their level of experience while still providing the foundation necessary to progress with safety in mind as your repertoire expands and skills develop.
Being able to revisit the thorough but concise videos over and over to check and refresh is so helpful. Since I can spend as much time on a move as I choose I don't have to worry that I'm holding back everyone else in a class or moving too fast and ending up hurt!
Sergia keeps it fun with journal assignments and personalized dance videos, you can tell she really cares about her students and is always available to answer questions.
It really allows you to learn pole at your own pace and on your own timeline! I love it!

I created this program to offer the best foundation there is for those who want to become well-rounded and inspired pole dancers who don't have to backtrack to take their dancing to the next level. I can't wait to become your coach and share my knowledge with you!

Your journey to become a well-rounded and inspired pole dancer is completely risk-free
I used to feel awkward in my own skin. I remember thinking with pole, okay - I’m not strong or graceful enough to do this. But when I began training with Sergia and she broke down concepts like orbiting, I started to understand the physics of the movement and my spins became so much more fluid and fun! The more I practiced, the more and more beautiful my spins got! I couldn’t believe it, I’d film myself and think is this me!? I also felt like I unlocked this entirely new level of fun, feeling like I was flying around the pole! A natural biproduct of my success was the ability to believe in myself more, which translates to my life outside of pole as well.
I was uncomfortable in my own body and I couldn’t stand it. So I let the years go by and watched pole videos with healthy envy and admiration for all women who could do this. This year, I got divorced and made major life changes.
The feeling I have that I can do this and feel wonderful about myself means so much to me. I remember the time when I couldn’t do this type of movement. I can’t wait to keep going and I love getting better every day.
I fell in love when I learned my first spin! The supportive instruction as well as entertaining images to help you grasp concepts are what makes this course the highlight of my week. I was nervous, of course, but the experience was so uplifting. I have always wanted to dance but have been too shy to do so. It’s great for any fitness level and any age individual who wants to dance and have fun!
Pole Dance Foundations was created for you if you can't get through this list without nodding your head
You feel like you have a bunch of disjointed moves that don't fit together into any type of flow
You want to learn quality technique the first time rather than circling back once you hit roadblocks in your training
You want to have the support of a pole coach to offer training wheels for you to move towards your dream pole skills
This offer might NOT be for you if...
You are an advanced pole dancer who's passion is focused mainly on the execution of acrobatic pole tricks
You are a pole dancer who likes to focus on high level pole tricks and don't also have a desire to weave dance and flow into your repertoire
You already feel very comfortable with freedance and dance flow

So finally I was able to try pole dancing! The coach/instructor Sergia is outstanding in her own years of accomplishments...but what's really cool is her ability to communicate the learning curve as we progress through a variety of fundamental moves and I was able to follow! This coming from someone with no dance background. And it is way FUN... 5 Stars AND learning is limitless!
Sergia does a great job of mixing dance technique in with fun and sensual moves, as well as muscle building spins! Her pilates and yoga based warm-ups are great too! She is a very capable teacher and makes everything super simple for advanced or beginning students.
I became instantly hooked! I was looking for a creative new way to exercise (I'm an avid gym-goer and wanted something a bit more fluid, and to add an element of feminine energy into my life.
What I got:
- A new hobby!!
- An incredible workout through movement
- A new love for a form of dance Ive never done before
- an amazing upper body and killer arm strength
- a new appreciation of my femininity
- endless amounts of self appreciation and self acceptance.
Do it. It's life changing.
