Nataniel Pires

Director & Instructor

After 20 Years of teaching Pole, Burlesque, and Aerial, it’s safe to say I have found my passion for life!

Through my teachings, I feel I have helped many women become empowered, unstoppable, and believe that anything is possible for them. We do what we never imagined possible and we express our divine sensuality through dance which gives us as women the confidence to take on anything that comes our way with grace.

Nadja Pires

Operations Manager & Instructor

I have always felt a calling to awaken the divine feminine through sensual dance and sacred movement.

Sensual movement is not just a dance — it is a reclamation. Without it, we often keep our power hidden, disconnected from the magic that makes us women.

My passion as an instructor is to take you on a journey inward — through a sacred exploration of your body, your energy, and your truth. Together, we will unlock the depths of who you are as a woman, a healer, and a Goddess of our time.

Maralize

I am a pole dance teacher who began with no background in dance, fitness, or movement.
Teaching beginners is my greatest joy—seeing that spark after a first class, knowing something powerful has been awakened.
Pole teaches us to honour the process, release shame, and know that exactly where we are is enough.

Chandre

Hi beautiful people, I’m Chandre. I’ve been dancing since the age of three, and pole has become my favourite way to blend dance and fitness.
Pole builds confidence, strength, and a beautifully toned body while having fun.
Join me for Pole Basix and let’s bring out your sassy, sexy inner diva—life’s too short for boring workouts! 

Kerry

I began my aerial and pole journey in 2018 after seeing my first show and instantly falling in love with the magic of silks, hoop, and pole.
As a teacher, I found my calling in sharing this gift—supporting women and young girls to build strength, confidence, and a deep sense of empowerment through joyful movement.
At La Rouge, we are a supportive community where women of all ages can show up as they are, grow, and truly bloom.

Louise

I am a passionate aerial pole dancer and international competitor. I see teaching as an honor and a gift, valuing every student’s journey and sharing my knowledge with respect and dedication.

Tanika

I fell in love with dance at eleven—it became my voice when words fell short. At fifteen, I discovered aerial arts, and being in the air felt like coming home. I’ve since competed internationally, earning second place in South Africa for contemporary and lyrical dance and gold in aerial hammock. Beyond the medals, it’s the freedom of flight that inspires me to guide others toward strength, grace, and their own story in the sky.

Laura

Aerial dance lets me live out a childhood dream of defying gravity and creating beauty in the air. The challenge and sense of accomplishment after mastering a new skill are unmatched—it’s the perfect escape from adulting. As an instructor, sharing this passion and witnessing students grow in a supportive, creative space is what makes it truly rewarding.

Shan

My journey began with a trial class at La Rouge in 2023 — what started as curiosity quickly became a powerful part of my health and happiness.

From student to teacher, my goal is to help others build strength, confidence, and trust in themselves through Pole and Aerial.

Your first class might feel nerve-wracking, but I’ll guide you every step.

Tyla

With a background in gymnastics, I’ve always loved movement, discipline, and creativity.
Teaching dance allows me to share that passion, helping students cultivate strength, confidence, and joy.
Guiding others to find freedom and grace in movement is what makes teaching truly rewarding.

Sarah

From my very first pole class in 2023, I was captivated. Pole dancing reawakened my sense of play and connection with my body—it’s like a jungle gym for adults! I didn’t even notice how strong I was becoming. I’m honoured to share this joy with the women in my classes and watch them reconnect with themselves.

Keren

I started my dance journey in the ballet world where I’ve trained for over 20 years. Dance and music have always been my happy place, and a space where I can express and connect with myself. I fell in-love with pole dancing from my first class and haven’t looked back since! I’m excited to help others build confidence, reconnect with their bodies, and fall more in love with themselves through dance.
