Our Instructors
Karissa Ruth
Hello! I am Karissa Ruth, Owner & Creative Director of ICT Pole Studio. I began my pole journey 5 years ago by taking pole dance classes and fell in love the first day! I loved it so much I ordered a x-pole for my home within a few months! After about a year or so of classes I took my skills to the club for a while, you can ask for stories in class lol!
About 2 years later, I was offered a wonderful opportunity to teach pole dance classes at another local studio, of course I accepted! That studio was great, but I was ready to create my own space for others to elevate, dance, & vibe, and so came ICT Pole Studio, Wichita’s first pole dance & pole fitness studio!
Pole has become my passion & lifestyle, I feel empowered and free when I pole. I hope you come to my class and feel the same way!
I teach Beginner & Intermediate Pole, Erotic Pole, Pole Fitness, Private Lessons, and host parties or group classes! You can also book me for a performance!
My current Pole Goals are to perform, teach and compete!
I truly believe taking pole classes will impact your life in many positive ways! I hope you choose ICT Pole Studio to help you begin your pole journey!
Feel free to ask me any questions, and come as you are.

Crystal
Hello! My name is Crystal. I teach Beginner Pole, Advanced Pole, Pole Flow & Pole Fitness!
I began my pole journey in December of 2021. I started out as a student in beginner pole & pole fitness at ICT Pole Studio. With consistency & dedication, months later I moved to advanced pole!
Pole started off as just another work out for me but it quickly became a lifestyle. & now it is something I am very passionate about. I have now been an instructor for a year and I am truly enjoying every bit of it!
Avery
Hi! I’m Avery, and I teach Beginner Pole. I started taking pole classes at Elevation Studios in Manhattan, KS, in 2020 and have been in love with it since.
Pole has become my favorite form of self expression. I’ve never felt more empowered or confident in my body, and I want to share that with others!
