Pole Spin Secrets owner Darcel began teaching the art of pole dancing out of her apartment in 2009. Once she realized the high demand for this sensual body-toning workout, she expanded her enterprise into a studio. Here she helms a range of classes, which she believes teach women more than just physical movements, but tap into innate reserves of confidence and empowering energy. Whether she is demonstrating upside-down inversions, hip-popping choreography, or aerobic boot-camp exercises, Darcel creates a judgment-free zone. She and her team of instructors also host private pole-lesson parties for any occasion, from bachelorette outings to top-secret congressional summits.
