At Fly Together Fitness, we believe that pole dancing is for everyone. We also recognize that financial barriers can impact the accessibility of pole fitness. We are excited to continue our Empowerment Fellowship Program, which aims to increase access to Fly Together Fitness classes by providing reduced-price access for ~6-12 months. Run on an annual basis, we encourage applicants who are experiencing financial difficulty, who identify as members of historically marginalized communities with less access and representation in pole, and who are committed to being a part of our pole community for the fellowship duration (6-12 months), to apply.

   We expect our next round of applications to open in January 2025. Across our past three award cycles, we awarded over 40 fellowships at different tiers based on need and availability to fellows who demonstrated commitment to pole dancing over the award period, potential for personal and collective empowerment through pole fitness, and barriers to accessing our classes at our current pricing.
