Tahoe Pole
Retreat

All levels are welcomed. We will have separation of participants in two groups - intermediate and late intermediate/advanced group.

We suggest packing comfortable pole wear and extra workout clothes if you plan to join any sessions outside of the pole classes. Be sure to bring your grip aids and favorite pole dance shoes & knee pads. You'll also want to include beachwear, sunscreen, and casual outfits for downtime, along with something nice for the welcome dinner.

Flights and transport from the airport to the hotel the day of the check in and check out is not included. However, no transportation is needed for the length of the stay (unless you plan to participate in outside activities on your own/with a friend). The hotel is beachfront and just a 5-minute walk from the pole studio.

A welcome dinner will be held on the day of check-in. Complimentary coffee and water will be available at the hotel lodge, along with snacks and sandwiches for lunch. Please note that breakfast and dinner (outside of the welcome dinner) are not included. However, you’ll receive a list of nearby restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The hotel is conveniently located next to a Whole Foods.

Treat yourself to a beachside pole photoshoot with stunning views by @lightandpole (available at an additional cost). Soak up the sun, swim, try paddle boarding, or explore local art museums and thrift shops. Unwind with a massage, relax in the outdoor pool and hot tub, grab a drink at a nearby open-air bar, and connect with others in a laid-back, inspiring setting.

Bookings are non-transferrable. Cancellations will incur the following charges:

• More than 12 weeks before departure: $300 administration fee
• 8-12 weeks before departure: 50% of total cost
• 2-8 weeks before departure: 75% of total cost
• Less than 2 weeks before departure: 100% of total cost
• Refunds will be offered only in exceptional circumstances of your own or a partner’s or your own child’s death or permanent incapacitating injury only. Illness/ pregnancy/ injuries/ family trouble/ work commitments/ changes to circumstances etc, whilst we understand are difficult to navigate and we empathise, will not warrant a refund. We know it’s sensitive, but if you are asking for a refund in an exceptional circumstance, please provide the medical (or other) certificate for your exceptional reason to avoid any awkwardness for anyone or hard feelings!
• If you are unable to travel to your pole camp due to government restrictions (for example, your local area is a declared a COVID-19 hotspot), you will not be penalised, and may use the full credit of your pole camp booking for any other TPR camp or retreat (within 12 months).

We recommend having some pole experience and don’t suggest this camp for absolute beginners to pole. Feel free to send us your Instagram handle with some recent videos if you are unsure still on checkout and we will place you in the right group with similarly skilled people – this is less about the label – but grouping people with similar skill levels!
