Studieaux Heaux

💜✨ I hope this video makes your day as much as it made mine. ✨💜

This sweet (and just a little spicy 😈) video came from one of my bonus grannies in the Moxie Movez program in Baltimore, Maryland, and I couldn’t wait to share it with all of you.

If you haven’t heard of Moxie Movez, we are proud to offer it right here at Studieaux Heaux!

Created by the amazing Mica Saunders, Moxie Movez was born from love. After the passing of her beloved grandmother—who had always been one of her biggest supporters in her pole journey—Mica created a program that celebrates movement, confidence, joy, and sensuality for seniors.

Because here’s the truth…

There is no age limit on feeling fabulous.

There is no age limit on learning something new.

There is no age limit on feeling sexy, strong, playful, and connected to your body.

That’s exactly what Moxie Movez gives back to people.

Watching this beautiful woman own the pole with so much confidence and personality reminds me why I believe so deeply in this program. It isn’t just about pole dancing—it’s about giving people permission to reclaim a part of themselves that the world often tells them they’re “too old” to have.

At Studieaux Heaux, our Moxie Movez performers are some of the brightest lights in every showcase, and they inspire all of us—regardless of age.

Thank you, Mica, for creating something so meaningful and for reminding us that confidence, joy, and a little bit of sass never grow old.

I hope this beautiful granny inspires you as much as she inspires me. 💜✨

💜 Sometimes the bravest thing you can do isn’t landing a new trick.

Sometimes it’s simply showing up.

Before I say anything else, I want to acknowledge how incredibly brave it is to post your journey online. It’s easy to wait until everything is polished and perfect before letting the world see it. It’s much harder to let people watch you grow.

And that’s exactly what happened here.

This class wasn’t easy.

Over the course of an hour, there were highs and lows, frustration and joy, confidence and doubt. At any point, she could have decided she’d had enough. She could have packed up and gone home, and if she had, I would have completely understood.

But she didn’t.

She stayed.

She let herself feel every emotion without pretending it wasn’t there.

And then something beautiful happened.

As the emotions settled, her body found itself again. She stood taller. She moved with more confidence. She looked graceful, strong, and completely present.

Nothing magical changed in her strength during that hour.

What changed was that she gave herself permission to move through what she was feeling instead of running from it.

That’s courage.

So if you ever find yourself having one of those days in class, remember that you have options. Going home is always okay. Taking care of yourself is always okay.

But sometimes… if you can stay present just a little longer, if you can let the emotions come and go without fighting them, you might discover that there’s another version of yourself waiting on the other side.

I’m so proud of you—not because of the tricks you did, but because of the way you showed up for yourself.

That kind of strength will carry you far beyond the pole. 💜✨

✨ The little details are what make the big skills feel easy.

This is the lovely Emily working on one of my favorite progressions in Pole Level 2:

Outside Leg Hang → Pike → Scorpio

When I teach this sequence, we don’t rush through it. We learn each piece individually, making sure every position is strong before we move on to the next.

Last night, our focus was the pike.

One thing I see all the time is students taking their straight leg and simply pulling it forward into position. They’ll get there… but they’ll miss the opportunity to use the pole and physics to their advantage.

Instead, I teach them to sweep that leg in a big half circle around the pole. That little change allows the pole to settle deep into the hip crease, creating tension and locking the position in much more securely.

It’s a small adjustment.

But small adjustments are often what transform a move from “I can kind of do it” into “I’ve got it.”

Once everyone started finding that position, we couldn’t resist adding the Scorpio at the end. 😈

We’ll clean up the transitions next week, but I think Emily did an incredible job. Every class, she’s building not just stronger tricks, but a deeper understanding of why they work.

And that’s where the magic happens. 💜✨

🐬✨ Ready to hang out with us… literally? ✨🐬

✨ This might be my favorite part of the whole day…

After we wrapped filming the Sahara Dry commercials yesterday, we turned the cameras back on and simply told everyone…

“Freestyle.”

No choreography.
No direction.
Just music, movement, and a room full of incredible humans expressing themselves.

This is why I love Studieaux Heaux.

Different bodies.
Different styles.
Different backgrounds.
Different ways of moving.

And somehow, when everyone dances together, it becomes something even more beautiful.

Watching this reminds me why we do what we do. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about finding joy in movement, celebrating what your body can do, and sharing that experience with other amazing people.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines wondering if there’s a place for you…

There is.

We’d love to have you join our community.

Come dance with us. Every BODY belongs in the air… and on the dance floor. 💜✨

🎬✨ Lights. Camera. Action. ✨🎬

For one day, Studieaux Heaux transformed into a full-blown commercial set!

Cameras, lights, action, and an incredible team came together to film a series of commercials for Sahara Dry Pole Grip Products, and I couldn’t be more excited about how everything turned out.

A huge thank you to Media by Jai, Sahara Dry, and all of our amazing models who brought so much energy, professionalism, and personality to the shoot. You all made the day so much fun.

I’m incredibly proud that Studieaux Heaux was chosen to be part of this project, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.

Stay tuned… there are plenty more behind-the-scenes photos, videos, and the finished commercials coming soon! 🎥💜✨

🎉💜 Congratulations, Anslee! 💜🎉

Today, Anslee graduated from Pole Level 1 to Pole Level 2 at our Quarter 2 Graduation, and I couldn’t be happier for her!

One of my favorite traditions at Studieaux Heaux is Graduation Day.

Every quarter, students who are ready to level up create a choreographed routine using the required skills from their current level and perform it in front of their fellow graduates, instructors, friends, and family.

It’s so much more than a skills test.

It’s where technique starts to become artistry.

It’s where students begin to discover their own style, their own musicality, and their own way of moving.

Anslee’s performance was absolutely beautiful. She looked confident, strong, and completely at home on the pole, and it was such a joy to watch all of her hard work come together.

Congratulations on this incredible milestone, Anslee! We can’t wait to see everything you accomplish as you begin your journey through Pole Level 2.

Keep climbing, keep dancing, and keep shining. We’re so proud to have you as part of the Studieaux Heaux family. 💜✨

🔥 Let’s talk about sex… and your nervous system. 🔥

No, seriously.

What if I told you that your ability to experience pleasure, intimacy, confidence, sensuality, and connection has less to do with technique… and more to do with whether your nervous system feels safe?

That’s exactly what we’re exploring in Feeling Yourself.

📅 July 18
🕑 2:00–5:00 PM
💲 $50
🍷 Optional drinks & dinner afterward for anyone who wants to keep the conversation going.

Using the principles of Be Activated, we’ll learn simple nervous system activations that help your body shift out of stress and into a state where connection becomes possible.

Then we’ll dive into the fun stuff.

✨ Why do some people feel completely at home in their bodies while others don’t?
✨ Why does pleasure come easily for some people but feel out of reach for others?
✨ How does stress affect intimacy?
✨ What role does your nervous system play in your relationship with yourself… and with a partner?

This isn’t a lecture.

It’s a conversation.

We’ll laugh.
We’ll learn.
We’ll probably blush a little.
We’ll challenge a few ideas.
And I have a feeling you’ll leave understanding yourself in a way you never have before.

If you’ve ever wanted a workshop that blends neuroscience, movement, real-life conversations, and just the right amount of spice…

This is it. 🌶️

Come curious.
Come open-minded.
Come ready to feel yourself—in every sense of the phrase. 💜

Registration is open now, and I cannot wait to share this workshop with you.
