Group Photo + Video Shoot with Skyclad Studio

Date: Sunday, May 27th 2025 7-11am (this is the prettiest light on the pole, you don’t need to show up at the beginning of the shoot)

Location: Lake City, Seattle (exact location will be emailed to you before the shoot)

Join me for a magical opportunity to capture your dance in my secret garden pole space! I am a permaculture based landscape designer and organic gardener as well as a stripper and redesigned my rental backyard to frame the pole and the sunlight hits beautifully in the morning. We can take photos and video with just the pole and wander into the garden for some portraits with the flowering trees and gazebo. I am taking both photos and videos for this shoot, although I have a photos only package available.

Here's what you can expect: Free parking outside my house. Order of dancers getting photos/videos will be organized by my assistant for efficiency as folks show up (unless you email me asking to reserve a specific time slot) so you may need to wait for some folks to go before you but you'll get to watch some beautiful dancers and possibly make a new friend! You can leave as soon as you are done if you like or stay and hang out. The best lighting is earliest in the morning so if you’re brave I encourage you to come early! If you come right before 11am (like 10:50am) that is okay just know that as it gets closer to noon the sunlight is directly overhead and is harsher than in the earlier morning. Still beautiful though! If you want to come even earlier for sunrise I would be happy to be ready then just shoot me an email at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com after you buy your package if you want to shoot at day break.

Pole Details: We are using a X-Pole expert stage pole with pink powder coat (I may buy a brass pole before this shoot, will update the page if so). The pole can be changed to static or spin at your preference. You will sign a liability waiver releasing Skyclad Studio from responsibility for injuries on the pole before the shoot. We will set up the stage pole (rated for up to 250lbs) to be as safe and stable as possible but you need to be mindful and be careful!

How long do I have to sign up? Shoot registration closes at 5pm the day before, Saturday May 24th unless the shoot sells out, in which case will make an announcement on social media and this page that registration is closed. A couple days before the shoot you will receive an email with exact address, this is my personal home I rent so please be respectful of my privacy and don’t share the address with anyone outside the shoot.

Is my booking refundable? Shoot price is fully refundable up to 24 hours before the shoot. If you cancel within 24 hours I will refund you 50% or you can use what you paid as credit for booking one of my future shoots. This policy is to help me have enough time to find someone to take your place in the shoot as they usually sell out and spots are limited. If the weather is stormy on the planned day I will provide a backup date and refund anyone who is not available for the rescheduled date or offer to transfer your payment to my next shoot.

Pricing and Deliverables:

I have three different packages for this shoot so you can find what works for your budget. Click on the package you want and add it to cart, make sure you check out in order to book your spot in the shoot! You are welcome to book more than one package if you want to gift one to a friend.

You will receive your content via email within two weeks of the shoot. Please feel free to email River at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com with any questions.

Workshop: Captivate the Camera - $55 | 2 Hrs

Description: In this workshop, River will teach you how to slay your pole dance videos and work with you to create one! Class starts with a dancey full body warm up. Then we will move into the lesson on how to create engaging pole dance videos with whatever tools you already have, which includes tips and tricks River has learned both dancing in and filming many pole videos covering key tips for lighting, angles, simple editing and dance storytelling. Split into two groups, we will practice each technique using whatever smart phone or camera you bring to class. River will provide a hand out sheet with all the information + bonus tips so you can come back to it later. After the lesson each student will solo freestyle and be professionally filmed by River while the other students watch and cheer them on. All workshop attendees will get the full recording of their freestyle emailed to them after class, there will also be an option to pay an additional $50 to River directly for a package of 3 edited reel style videos as well as the full recording.

What to wear/bring: Smart phone or camera, water bottle, your favorite pole grip if you like to use it, whatever you want to wear for your freestyle video! You are welcome to bring two outfits, one for the warmup and lesson and one for your video and change in between. If you have a tripod for your phone or camera, bring it but not required.

Accessibility: Since the dancing in this class is all freestyle based you can accommodate yourself and find dance that feels good for your body! Class will involve some sitting on the floor while other students are dancing but option to sit in the lounge area during this section if needed.

Slither & Writhe is a snake inspired floorshow featuring floorwork, acro, twerk, and burlesque acts set to a psy-trance soundtrack produced by DJ INS(rj)ENT. Watch the show and dance along to the rave style music at the same time via at Chop Suey’s subby sound system.

Join us for a magical opportunity to capture your dance in the snow! River and Nat are cohosting this group shoot. Nat will be taking photos and River will be capturing video! Here's what you can expect:

You can wear a cute sweater and pants and do lowflow/basework or go all out in a tiny outfit and do some aerial if you're brave! Cozy and slutty vibes are welcome, you can't be too extra! Everyone who comes to this group shoot will first get some posed pictures to a song and then freestyle dance to another song for video capture (pick your songs in advance or roll with what we have playing). Order of dancers getting photos/videos will be first come first served so you may need to wait for some folks to go before you but you'll get to watch some beautiful dancers and possibly make a new friend! You can leave as soon as you are done if you like. There are 4 spots available in River's car reserved for folks who need carpooling to get to location. You will need to be able to meet River at Magnussen Park in Seattle at 11:30am in order to join the carpool. There may be other opportunities to carpool with other people going to the event but only 4 spots guaranteed, first come first served River will update the page when carpool spots are all taken.

Location:

The shoot will likely be located in the Middlefork Natural Area. There are lots of snow spots there that require only pulling off the main plowed road to get to the location. We will be scouting out the exact location before the shoot so you can have GPS coordinates. If there isn't snow in Middlefork at the time of the shoot we will pick another location off i90 within an hourish drive of Seattle.

Pole Details:

Chrome stage pole. If it starts snowing we may switch to powder coat pink pole because it's less slippery when wet. You will sign a liability waiver releasing us from responsibility for injuries on the pole. We will set the stage pole (rated for up to 250lbs) up to be as safe and stable as possible but you need to be mindful of the extreme conditions and be careful!

Pricing and Deliverables:

The $20 required to RSVP is your ticket price for reserving your spot in this shoot. Tickets are refundable if we have at least 48 hours advance notice, this is so we can find someone else to take your spot in the shoot. If you cancel within 48 hours of the shoot your $20 ticket price is non-refundable. Thank you for understanding!

Photos by Forest Gremlin (Nat): $25-$75 sliding scale

What you get: At least ten edited photos, as many good photos as are captured will be edited and sent to you, no additional charge for extra photos!

It's ideal to have 5 standing or floor poses that you love in mind when you come to the shoot. You can absolutely bring aerial trick poses to the shoot too but just know that with the cold pole it is easier to get photos of non-aerial poses. Nat can also help pose you but it's going to be cold and we want to make the most of your time on the pole so having some poses in mind going into it will help you get more photos you love out of your photo session!

Videos by Skyclad Studio (River): $50-$100

What you get: 1 cinematic landscape freestyle video (1-2 minutes), 1 highlight vertical video (15-20 seconds), 1 reel vertical video (45-90 seconds)

We will play a song (you can choose or we can choose!) for you to freestyle to (or bring your own choreo). River will take the best moments of your dance and chop them up into video content showing off your dance with creative editing. If it's not snowing River can fly their drone for aerial shots, otherwise it will be stabilized ground footage. River recommends freestyling tricks that feel very comfortable for you. You aren't going to be able to warm up very much so it's best to stick with what your body is used to and that muscle memory will create the best video results! It looks better to finesse some leg waves, pirouettes, booty moments or simple tricks like leg hooks and pole sits than to be struggling to execute the upper range of your trick abilities in the cold!

Pricing note: You have to get both photos and video to be in the shoot. The $20 ticket price does not go toward your sliding scale fees for photos and videos. It's a lot of work for us to plan these shoots, transport people, set up the pole in the snow, get the content and edit it, we hope you find this pricing reasonable! You don't need to pay your sliding scale photo/video fees until after you get your content back. We hope this helps you find a price point that reflects the value of your experience and your budget.

You will receive your photos and videos within one week of the shoot!

Recommendations for health and safety in the cold:

- Bring your warmest jacket and layer up, you'll want to be as warm as possible right up until you get on the pole and get bundled up again directly after. Wool socks and gloves to wear when not on the pole recommended.

- Bring a hot drink in a thermos and/or hot hands!

- We are providing a rhinestone snowflake decorated soft faux fur Christmas tree skirt that can be placed over the base of the pole to make it a little less cold and less contrasting with the snow around it. It will be ideal for posed photos but hard to use for freestyling since it will move around when stepped on. We recommend either wearing heels or some kind of cute sock to protect your feet from the cold base. You are more than welcome to bring a blanket to use as a prop if you like.

Feel free to message River (@ariverdancing) or Nat (@_forestgremlin_) with any questions!!
