Ongoing Other, 8:15 pm. Pole dance classes weekly.
At Happy Kiss Pole, we believe in the transformative power of movement. What began as a dream in 2014, blossomed into a haven for self-expression, exploration, and empowerment. Nestled in the heart of Gainesville, FL our studio started in the spare bedroom of our founder's home. From those humble beginnings, we've grown into a vibrant community dedicated to celebrating everyone who steps into our space through the art of pole dance.
Founded by Johanna Monserratte, Happy Kiss Pole Dance was born out of a passion for movement and a desire to create a space where everyone feels welcome. Inspired by the liberating and sensual aspects of pole dance, our studio embodies the values of haven, play, and voice. These principles guide everything we do, from our classes to our community events. Happy Kiss Pole Dance, 501 NW 23 Ave, Suite B, Gainesville, 32609.

Dance is one of the oldest forms of human creative expression. Movement communicates in a way that transcends vocabulary and connects the mind, body, and spirit in physical and emotional release. Dance has a holistically healing power to unite us with the rhythms of the universe through celebration of the cycles of nature. Dance has its roots in ancient ritual and worship of the sacred. By exploring the transformational and empowering dynamics of sacred dance movements, we can connect with and embody the divine spirit within all things.
In this class we will explore our connection to the energies of the universe through ancient dance techniques. We will focus our intention on channeling these energies through our movements, expressing our divine creativity. We will celebrate our vital life force and energize our mind, body and spirit.
