Why I Made Static $lut.

The inspiration for Static $lut came from watching Ana Floatx. Ana has this way of using her body awareness and energy to hold an entire room’s attention on a static pole. That stood out to me, because the truth is, not every club or pole space has spin.
And as strippers & SW’ers, we don’t always get the luxury of endless spin to carry a performance. Most of us are working on static poles in clubs where every dollar counts.
That’s the reality I wanted to address: how do you hold attention, how do you make the room pay attention to you, when the pole doesn’t do the work for you? How do you pay rent in stillness?
That’s where Static $lut came from.
This class was never just about “moves.” It was about survival. About learning how stillness, pacing, and presence can hold just as much power as big tricks. About understanding that you don’t always have to chase the crowd, sometimes you can let the room orbit around you.
Because stillness pays rent. Quiet pays rent. Energy, directed with intention... pays rent.
But let me be clear: there’s nothing easy or “soft” about static pole. It’s demanding. It asks you to move with control, to use your body as a tool instead of relying on spin to create the illusion. That’s why I knew this needed to be taught.
I curated Static $lut as a stripper led workshop so dancers could learn to command the stage in clubs that only have static poles, which is most of them. Because this knowledge shouldn’t live in one person’s body. It’s community knowledge. It’s rent paying knowledge.
