who we are + our values
Fig Tree was created as a sanctuary for connection — a place to come home to yourself. We are an inclusive space for people of all identities, backgrounds, and body types to explore and connect with themselves, as well as a community. Our classes, workshops, pop-ups, and events are all centered around basic themes of self-discovery, exploration, and feeling. Our mission is to create a warm and uplifting space where every person feels safe, held, and inspired.
Fig Tree is a proud stripper-owned studio and a space free of judgement and censorship for sex workers. Many of our instructors are current or former strippers and sex workers, and we offer support groups, industry-specific events and resources, and sex-worker discounts. We believe in not only acknowledging, but embracing pole dancing’s roots in sex work, and it’s creation by Black sex workers.
”this piece of metal has pried me out of my shell time and time again. it has shown me how strong I am and simultaneously how soft.”
