Allisin Chainz
Allisin (she/hers) is a total movement bad ass. A professional aerial rigger, a certified Cyr wheel instructor, an aerial chains performer, and a lyra flow instructor, Allisin is the REAL DEAL, and best for the student who wants to be pushed.
Allisin's claim to fame at the studio is demonstrating something that makes you think 'oh God, I can't do THAT!' and then showing you that you can in fact, totally do that.
She also owns Looking Glass Studio in Detroit.
Mallory
Mallory (she/hers) has been doing aerial for over 5 years, including aerial hoop, pole, and silks. She took an extended break from her practice during the pandemic and has enjoyed getting back to it and falling in love with pole again.
You may also know Mallory as the sexy mothman of your dreams. She teaches beginner lyra and multiple pole classes, including active flexibility.
Hery favorite thing about pole is the versatility of expression., and how there are so many styles and influences to fit any individual, from the slinky sexy dancers to the gymnastic style movements and holds. One of her favorite parts about teaching is watching students gain not just strength, but confidence and community, too!
She has four years of previous pole instructor experience, and has completed instructor training for aerial hoop in beginner and intermediate levels through Spin City program.
Janelle, AKA - Raven
Hi! I’m Raven (or Janelle, whatever you wanna call me) I am a self taught pole dancer/instructor with a long gymnastics/dance background. I currently dance at a few different clubs and went on 2 tour dates with Snoop Dogg in 2023, and love the adrenaline that comes with performing in front of huge crowds.
I love to teach pole tricks specifically and watch people re-fall in love with themselves and their bodies through pole and dance.
And yes, that's Snoop Dogg blasting a money gun at her.
Whitney Jackson, aka - Illumi Naughty
Whitney (she/hers) began immersing herself in all things dance at three years old and has been an instructor of all ages for nearly 25 years. She has trained with numerous instructors, choreographers, and Broadway dance captains to expose herself to as many styles of dance as possible and to strengthen her knowledge of movement.
Whitney finds great satisfaction in helping her students find and channel their most confident selves. Inclusivity, body positivity and community are always prioritized in her classes.
When a good friend opened a dance studio years ago, Whitney realized that the unique style of dance she most enjoyed sharing with others needed a name, and Sexy Sweat was born! Sexy Sweat is a unique combination of jazz dance, contemporary dance, musical theater and sensual movement that is suited to any age, any body, any gender and any level of experience.
