Fly Pole

A pole that leaves the floor. Fly pole hangs from the ceiling and moves with you, swinging and spinning as you climb, grip and invert. It's pole dance and aerial arts in one, and it's unlike anything else you'll train.

The basics

What is fly pole?

Fly pole, also called flying or aerial pole, takes a dance pole off the floor and hangs it from the ceiling, so the whole pole swings, spins and travels through the air with you on it. It blends the grips, spins and climbs of pole dance with the momentum and freedom of aerial arts, and the pole responds to every shift of your weight. We train on poles made by Lupit Pole, and Roustabout is an official Lupit Pole Studio Partner.

Ollie Beach

One hula hoop workshop started Ollie's path to professional performance, by way of dance, aerial pole, and two professional circus training programs: Actors Gym in Illinois and NECCA in Vermont. As Roustabout's lead Fly Pole coach, Ollie focuses on strong foundations and tiny details, helping students find their own movement style rather than just collecting tricks.

Before your first class

What to wear to fly pole

No circus wardrobe required. Our fly poles have a silicone coating, so dress like you would for silks: cover the skin that rubs against the pole, and leave anything that snags at home.
