INSTRUCTORS
Kimmy
My name is Kim Garza and I own and operate The Pole Barn.
I am the instructor for our liquid motion floorwork classes, heels sorcery and choreo classes.
My passion is heelwork and liquid motion which is primarily a floor flow movement. I discovered the pole several years ago and immediately fell in love with everything about it. I am certified in all levels of Liquid Motion including Liquid Heels. I have competed in 4 competitions in the exotic category as well as in 1 competition in the doubles category. I was so honored to have placed each time I performed.
As an instructor and student of the pole, I strive to bring the slower, sensual and intentional side of the pole to my practice. I am excited to continue on this path to teach, learn and grow my love for the pole for as long as my body will allow.
Sandy
Sandy is our level I, level 1 1/2, and level II pole instructor.
Sandy is an amazingly talented pole instructor and student of poles. She continuously takes her craft to the next level by taking certifications and classes offered by professional pole and diverse studio instructors. Her personality is contagious!

Lina
Lina is our level III, pole conditioning/flexibility and specialty class instructor.
Lina started her pole journey while living in Key West in 2012 when a friend gave her a free pass to a local studio. She bought her home pole 3 months later and dove into her obsession! Since then, Lina has competed and performed in both doubles and individual pole categories. Having taken a year off from 2 pregnancies since 2015, she knows what it feels like to be a beginner 3 times over and tries to keep this in mind when instructing and motivating students. Having worked in clubs in her younger years, she also has a major respect for the profession as a whole and the influences that exotic pole has on contemporary movements. she tries to maintain this respect within her classes, recognizing that everyone comes to this sport from a different perspective and all of them are valid. Her focus is on strength and active flexibility, believing that these are the foundations to gain those show stopping tricks on everyone's bucket list. Come join her on Thursdays to progress your own pole journey!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
COREY ELYSE WORKSHOPS!!
SATURDAY MARCH 30
KNEE NICHE: 12:00-1:15 ($55.00)
Learn to love your knee grip in this workshop. Knee grip is the basis of many pole moves. We will build trust in our knee pit grip through finding active engagement and work on maintaining that grip throughout moves and transitions on the pole, ultimately working towards being able to rely on our knee pits alone to support us.
PRE-REQ: POLE CLIMBS
BIRD OF PARADISE: 2-3:30 ($55.00)
Attract the right kind of attention after this Bird of Paradise workshop. After a BOP-focused warm up and discussion of grip points and move mechanics, we will fly right up the pole. You will learn moves that share aspects with the Bird of Paradise before taking to the sky (or rather pole) to work on the full BOP and more advanced variations of it.
PRE-REQ: SOLID LEG HANG, SPLITS AND BACKBENDS
USE YOUR HEAD (STANDS) : 4-5:00 ($45.00)
Put your noggin to use in this headstand
focused workshop. Whether you’re just
getting comfortable upside down or a
free-standing headstand pro, this
workshop will have something for you.
We’ll work on arm placement variations,
turning in your headstand, leg-ography,
and entrances and exits from
headstands so you can seamlessly
incorporate headstands into
choreography. Neck strength and
stability will be a large focus.
PRE-REQ: Comfortable in
inverted positions (ex: a layback).
