Join us for a high-energy Pole Dance Party designed to introduce our club to campus and celebrate movement, confidence, and community. This beginner-friendly event will feature music, guided pole dance activities, and opportunities to learn about the club’s mission, upcoming workshops, and ways to get involved. No prior experience is required, just come ready to have fun, try something new, and connect with fellow students in an inclusive and supportive space.
