The Pole Garage

Welcome to The Pole Garage, a premier boutique studio nestled in the vibrant community of Santa Monica, California, exclusively dedicated to the captivating art of pole dancing. Established in 2009 by owner and lead instructor Drea Rogers and her husband David, The Pole Garage was founded on a vision to create an intimate, supportive, and empowering space where women could truly explore their strength, sensuality, and inner fire through movement. For locals in California seeking a unique and exhilarating way to enhance their fitness, boost their confidence, and connect with a dynamic community, The Pole Garage offers an unparalleled experience that goes far beyond a typical workout.

At The Pole Garage, we believe that pole dancing is a magical art form that can transform lives. Our commitment is to provide a warm, welcoming, and positive energetic space where every individual can feel free to challenge themselves without judgment. We pride ourselves on a meticulously crafted, progressive curriculum designed to safely strengthen, condition, and teach pole dance technique from the ground up, moving through various levels from beginner to elite. This structured approach ensures proper progression and injury prevention, allowing students to build skills effectively and confidently. As Drea herself discovered when she first touched the pole, it was "magic," making her feel "FREE, ALIVE and BEAUTIFUL," and this is the feeling we strive to share with every student who walks through our doors. We are a community of adventurous women, dedicated to getting toned and sculpted, letting loose, and simply dancing.
