2022 Year in Review

2022 was a year where we took our first major step out of the pandemic, cautiously balancing vigilance for the health and wellness of our community members while supporting folks’ eagerness to return to pre-pandemic normality.

Workshops & residencies

In 2022, soFly Social hosted a diverse array of talented pole dancers who bring their own expertise to share with the local Austin community, including:

Carly Jane
Bentley Rebel
Estefania
Natasha Wang

Team Survivor partnership

We partnered with Team Survivor, a non-profit organization that helps female identifying and nonbinary cancer survivors regain normal lives during and after cancer treatment.

We dedicated a Level 1 pole class every week exclusively for survivors to regain control of their bodies, their health, and their lives.

Student showcases

We continued to provide our students with performance opportunities to share their craft with the greater public audience. We partnered with one of our favorite local long standing alternative venues Elysium, and then with Ground Floor Theatre, a space dedicated to elevating works produced by historically under represented communities.

Students ➡️ instructors 🎉

We believe that students who keep the soFly vibe grow to become amazing instructors who embody our mission through and through. This year, we were able to transition two students into instructor roles: Jennifer and Amber!

Death at the Cabaret

We elevated the theatrical experience for aerial productions in Austin with a completely original cabaret-infused murder mystery play featuring pole dancing and burlesque.

Looking ahead to 2023

Looking ahead, we welcome 2023 with the excitement of opening our third studio, merging our two current studios into a single space. With over 4000sq ft, we are expanding our class offerings to include aerial apparatuses such as lyra, silks, straps, and flying pole as well as more ground based classes in cross training and burlesque.

Even though our physical footprint will be doubling,
our values still stay the same:

to provide a boutique experience for all adults to explore their unique movement journey regardless of size, gender, race, age, background,
and beliefs.
