A message from Marie Kolstrup
For more than 15 years, I’ve been certifying instructors for both my own studios and others, helping them grow into confident, effective, and professional teachers. Running the successful pole dance studios ElitePole has been my full-time job for 13 years, giving me hands-on experience in what works in the real world. I created this academy to make that knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere — so more instructors can pass on their passion to students in a safe and inspiring way.

From Students to Successful Instructors

This certification prepared me thoroughly for life as an instructor. I learned exactly how to teach each exercise safely, with a deep understanding of anatomy and injury prevention. The program was clear, well-structured, and I always felt supported by skilled teachers who made me feel in safe hands throughout.

The certification was intense, inspiring, and incredibly rewarding. I learned so much about the body, spins, tricks, and how to present and lead a class. The teachers were passionate, well-prepared, and supportive, making the whole experience both challenging and empowering. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to teach.

This course was both exciting and challenging from start to finish. I learned correct teaching techniques, how each trick affects the body, and how to explain them clearly. The training was intense but fun, and it gave me the skills and confidence to grow — not only as a pole dancer, but as a safe and inspiring instructor.
