Keep Growing is built around the values of Silver Garden: excellence in technique, creativity, inclusivity, and community. Over three immersive months, you'll learn from experienced instructors in a supportive studio environment where you'll grow not only as a teacher, but also as an artist and athlete.

The program is led by Silver Garden founders Séléna Lacaze and Luna Bueno. Throughout the training, each student is also paired with a dedicated mentor—one of our experienced instructors—who will provide personalized guidance, feedback, and support along the way.

All in-person sessions take place at Silver Garden Pole & Yoga in Downtown Miami.

We recommend having at least 30 hours of pole experience before applying. You don't need to be an advanced pole dancer, but you should be familiar with the flow of a pole class, including the warm-up, class structure, and foundational techniques, so you can get the most out of the program.

You'll learn how to confidently teach a complete pole class through a combination of theory and real-world experience. Topics include lesson planning, class structure, cueing, communication, anatomy, spotting and safety, teaching methodology, and creating an engaging, inclusive class experience.

Throughout the program, you'll shadow experienced instructors, assist during classes, practice teaching, and eventually lead your own mock classes with real students. By the end of the program, you'll have the confidence and hands-on experience to step into your first classes as an instructor.

Yes! Many students can complete the program while working full-time. The required lab sessions and mock teaching sessions must be prioritized, but outside of those dates, you'll have the flexibility to organize your own schedule.

That said, this is an immersive program, and your progress depends on consistent training. You'll be expected to attend classes regularly—whether that's in the evenings, on weekends, or whenever your schedule allows—to make the most of your unlimited class access and graduate feeling confident and prepared to teach.

You'll begin by observing and assisting experienced instructors, then progress to teaching mock classes with real students while receiving personalized feedback from your mentors. Our goal is for you to graduate feeling confident and prepared to lead your own classes.

Through comprehensive training, mentorship, hands-on teaching experience, and personalized feedback, you'll develop both the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to begin your teaching journey.
