Photoshoots. For Confidence. For Proof. For the Gram.

Warning: Exposure to beginner pole dancing may result in unplanned feelings of self-pride, chronic upper body strength, and an urge to update your profile picture.

In some cases, a phone camera may be involved.

Pole ’n Pics, our not-at-all-serious, mildly chaotic, and weirdly empowering photo event. A standard part of your Ignite journey.

It's optional for you, but not optional for us - a photo session will always be part of Ignite. Because we see what it does for people, and we can't let anyone miss that magic.

Even if you’re currently sweating at the thought.

Common pre-shoot symptoms include:

• “I’m not ready yet” syndrome

• Excessive pose research

• Light panic googling of “what do I do with my hands”

• Repeating the phrase “this is so out of my comfort zone” at least three times before arrival

We get it.

Stepping in front of a camera isn’t everyone’s idea of fun. But trust the process. You might just experience the following:

📸 Documented Confidence Spikes

While classes build strength and skill, Pole ’n Pics builds something sneakier: Unfiltered, flash-lit self-belief.

Something shifts when you see yourself in action. Not just doing the move - being the person who does the move.

The camera doesn’t lie. And neither does that little voice inside that goes,“Holy sht, that’s me. I look beautiful”*

🧠 Lasting Memories (with actual visual evidence)

Whether you continue pole after Ignite or not, these shots become your official record. Your “I did that” proof.

A timestamp on a moment where you were bold, brave, and a little sweaty.

They’re the kind of photos you look back on when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of.

🤝 Accelerated Friendship Formation

Side effects of Pole ’n Pics are known to include:

• Giggling in between poses

• Group hype that defies all logic

• Borrowing someone else’s heels because you forgot yours (and now you’re best friends)

Something happens when a group of nervous humans strike poses under studio lights. They bond.

We've seen it happen. Friendships that begin through Ignite strengthen mid-spin, mid-snap, and mid-“what do I do with my face??”

🪩 Visible Evidence of Progress

The shoot takes place near the end of Ignite - you'll be feeling more confident in your skills. It’s the perfect moment to capture the bruises, the boldness, and the sheer magic of learning something new.

Not polished. Not perfect. But real. And kind of incredible.

You'll see.

🎉 Unexplainable Post-Shoot Glow

Many report:

• Feelings of badassery

• Increased screen time admiring their own photos

• Casual “oops just updating my profile pic again” behavior

• A strong desire to show their grandma, their partner, and their cat

Some participants even describe it as “the highlight of Ignite.”

We don’t take that lightly.

Still Nervous?

Totally normal.

But let us remind you:

• You’re not alone

• You’re not expected to know your angles

• And we’ve designed the whole thing to feel fun, not forced

You’ll leave with:

• A camera roll of wins

• A few blurry candids

• And at least one picture that makes you go:“That’s me. And I look amazing.”

So. If you're signing up for Ignite…

Get ready to feel things. Get ready to pose. Get ready for a surprising amount of support from people you only just met.

Pole ’n Pics is coming.

And it might just be your favorite side effect.
