We believe access to disciplined, embodied movement should not be a luxury.

Nova was built from a lineage of sensual dance, artistic rigor, and reverence for the body, and that lineage deserves input that is unimpeded by systemic drivers of economics. In a region where cost alone can quietly filter who gets to train, we offer scholarships as a way of protecting range: of background, profession, income, and experience. This program exists to keep the room expansive so the art and the community around it stays honest.

We offer four scholarship categories:

Industry Scholarship

For current sex workers in any capacity. Pole has roots in sex work, and this scholarship exists to materially support those actively working in the industry. No documentation required.

Student Scholarship

Equity Scholarship ($75,000 and below)
