Ravans Pole Performance

Introducing Ravan, our newest pole instructor! Ravan always come to Pearl with such a great energy and ideas. We are excited to have him join our family and bring light into the studio!



Ravan is a born performer. All his training and performance background is rooted in dance. Beginning with pre-ballet and tap when he was just 5 years old. Joining a performing studio when he was only 10 and traveling the world with them for several years, attended the University of Utah as a Ballet major for 4 years, and most recently accomplishing one of his dreams of joining a professional dance company, Odyssey Dance Theatre.
Just over 2 years ago, his journey of dance had taken to a new path… Pole Fitness. His original inspiration and spark for pole was ignited when he first saw a video of Felix Cane competing in her first competition in Australia. Completely in awe of the beauty and strength of it, the curiosity began. A series of fantastic events led him to experience pole fitness at it’s best when he began classes with Zoraya Judd. Not only was an instant friendship born, but Ravan’s journey into the world of pole as well.
Ravan’s years of performing and dance training proved to be quite helpful with conquering the new pole apparatus. His latest accomplishment in the world of pole was making it as a finalist in the 2011 American Pole Fitness Championships as well as being published in Pole Spin magazine. He continues to share his dance knowledge and training with others, teaching them and improving flexibility, musicality, strength and confidence. He loves educating others and helping with their growth as artists, both on and off the pole.

Suzy's Lyra Performance from Empowerment Show

Video of the day:

Suzy's performance from the show. Not only did she put together her beautiful performance she also helped a lot of the performers put together their routines.

Suzy teaches intermediate hoop, beginner and intermediate trapeze and all levels of silks. She is not only an incredible performer but the hardest worker! Everyone who is fortunate enough to take a class with her is welcomed with such warmth and knowledge. She really takes time to make sure everyone is comfortable and that they are being challenged in their classes. For us personally we would not have been able to get through the last year without her. She's always looking out for the studio and puts so much love into what she does. She is my hero!We are very proud of her and thankful to have her in our studio family.

Empowerment Event

The event that was held a few weeks ago at Pearl was more beautiful then I ever expected! It was such a magical evening for me personally. It was incredible seeing how many people were there- we had to turn people away we were so full! And just feeling all of the love and respect from everyone that was there. I was so proud to be a part of something so profound.

My performers were absolutely incredible, beautiful and so much more then I could ever express. I want them to know how thankful I am to them taking time out of their lives to put together such breathtaking routines. To be amongst such empowering artists was very inspiring. Many of the performances brought tears to my eyes. Great job!

We raised so much money for the Rape Recovery Center- we raised over $2,000!! Thank you everyone for their donations and coming out and supporting this great cause.

We will definitely be holding an annual charity event and hopefully each year we are met with such great success.

Here is a link to a video that Linda made for me! Thank you so much for putting this together its beautiful
