move, breathe, shine;
WEEKENDS with boogaloo
Transform in Portugal! Join us for immersive retreats where pole dance meets wellness in a stunning costal setting
Sanctuary
where the atlantic meets your practice
The Portugal studio sits on a quiet stretch of coast where light hits water and stone in ways that make you still. The space breathes with the rhythm of the sea. You'll find yourself moving differently here.
Days
What happens when you join us
Each morning begins with a community breakfast and light pole work in the studio. The Atlantic light comes through the windows and you feel it on your skin. Afternoons bring workshops on technique, strength, and the quiet work of listening to your body.
The classes
We move through the fundamentals and beyond. Small groups mean real attention to your form. You'll find yourself stronger than you thought.
The excursions
Walk the coast. Sit by the water. Join us for a boat trip to beautiful Tróia. Sometimes the best work happens when you're not thinking about work at all.
The accomodation
Stay in our shared accommodation with the people you work with every day.
The community
You come alone and leave with people who understand what you've done. That matters. It stays with you.
Balance
More than just dancing
The guesthouse weekends weave together pole work with practices that feed the whole self. Yoga in the mornings, surf in the afternoons. Time to simply be.
