Journey Of Studio Mod Vaude
Upper Altitudes Pole is Born Nov. 2016-May 2017
Upper Altitudes Pole Studio started its journey in a spare bedroom of our apartment, but the passion and dedication were boundless. Within the limited space, we nurtured a cozy and intimate setting where pole enthusiasts could unleash their inner dancers and thrive. Though small in size, the studio was big on creating a supportive and empowering environment for growth and self-expression. It’s incredible to see how our humble beginnings have led us to where we are today.
Rental Spaces
June 2017 - Sep. 2017
Despite not having a permanent home, Upper Altitudes has remained committed to offering classes by adapting and changing locations. From Sundance Studio to The Art Depot, and even Steamboat Cheer and other venues, we have continuously found ways to provide our students with a dynamic and engaging learning experience throughout this time period.
The Studio Garage
Oct. 2017 - Dec. 2020
Driven by their unwavering determination, Emily and Josh embarked on a quest to find a new home for their beloved studio. Emily’s relentless pursuit for a suitable space paid off when Josh generously offered half of the garage in their recently purchased home. Together, they transformed the humble space into a functional studio. As the studio flourished, the need for more room became evident, prompting Josh to once again step in and offer the entire garage for a full-fledged studio renovation. With extensive construction and structural enhancements, the doors of the new and improved studio swung open on December 1, 2017, marking the remarkable beginning of Mod Vaude Productions!
