Who We Are

Founded in 2024 as Santa Fe Pole and expanded in 2026 as New Mexico Pole Arts, we are the largest and most comprehensive pole studio in New Mexico, offering premier training, classes, and workshops for every level.

Our Santa Fe studio features eight 12-foot stainless steel, industry-standard poles, while our Albuquerque facility boasts eight 14-foot poles and a private lesson/rental room. Both spaces foster a vibrant, supportive environment for movement, creativity, and self-expression.

We offer a full range of classes—from tricks and flow to heels, conditioning, and flexibility—and are proud to be the only studio in New Mexico with a competition team program, preparing dancers for local and national competitions. All instructors are accredited, and we regularly host guest teachers from across the country.

At New Mexico Pole Arts, we don’t just teach pole—we build strength, confidence, artistry, and a thriving community.

Our Values

  • Community

    We build meaningful relationships and foster a sense of belonging for all members of our diverse community.

  • Progress Not Perfection

    We respect our bodies for where they are and build foundations to train safely. We create a space to learn, experiment, and improve at your own pace.

  • Sex Positivity

    We celebrate and honor pole dancing's roots in stripping. We respect all sexual orientations and gender identities.
