Shortly after joining us, Beth was hand selected to become an instructor based off the stunning movement quality and impeccable safety awareness she demonstrated from early on. She hopes to help her students study the control and subtle technique that goes into a seamless spin pass, and give them the tools to create their own combinations outside of the classroom.

Once she found the magic of floor work, she was completely hooked. She says the floor opened up so many new doors and created the path way for her to take her movement both and on off the pole to the next level. Kim is has completed both the Level 1 and Level 2 Liquid Motion certifications and will be completing her training with a Liquid Heels certification in November.

Alexis
Alexis first discovered aerial arts on the East Coast several years ago and threw herself into silks and hoop, but never quite got around to trying pole. However, when she moved to Michigan in 2017, she showed up at Polistic and was immediately addicted. She quickly fell in love with the Russian Exotic style and it’s low-flow, hard-hitting energy and made her home at the base of the pole. Handstands, shoulder freezes, squats and jumps, prepare for any class with this basework babe to incorporate some of her favorite grounded moves.
Alexis is a certified instructor, having completed both Level 1 and Level 2 ElevatED trainings. While she may get a little too enthusiastic at times, she promises to get you hyped and excited to dance without reservations whether it’s your first or 50th time at the studio.
