Pound - Thursdays at 7:15pm
Swing Out! - Saturdays at 12pm
Hula Hoop - Saturdays at 1pm
"I was raised in a small town in California. I went to college in Utah, where I studied Design and Dance. I was in the Swing Dance Team and the Polynesian Dance club. After graduating, I moved to Portland where I continued painting and dancing while working as a nanny. I helped my friends run several small dance clubs. I moved to Wenatchee with my husband five years ago where I've struggled to find or start any dancing, so I was so happy when Epic Motion opened up!" - Aubrey
Ashley
HIIT Dance TURN UP - Tuesdays at 5:15pm and Thursdays at 6:15pm
Ashley has been teaching dance fitness since 2017 after falling head over heels with the energy that comes from group fitness classes. In 2020, she completed her Turn Up Dance Fitness certification and left her Zumba days behind for something she found was even more inspirational, challenging, & fun. She returned to Wenatchee in late 2021 after spending years on the West Side with her husband and missing the sunshine. Passionate about sharing the self-love, swagger, & empowering culture that comes with the Turn Up, Ashley is thrilled to share this class with the community. When she’s not dancing, Ashley enjoys cooking, eating, writing, interior decorating, & spending time outdoors with her husband, baby boy, and two dogs.
Charlie Angel
Baddie Burlesque - Tuesdays at 7:15pm
Alecia, also known as Charlie Angel, discovered her passion for dance at a young age, finding her happy place in the world of movement. In 2011, she embarked on an exciting journey with the burlesque dance troupe "The Do-Rights" in Santa Cruz, CA, where her alter ego Charlie Angel, was born. With a blend of silliness, confidence, and sass, she embraced performing and expressing herself through dance, often adorned with something pink or sparkly and curls.
After five transformative years, Charlie made her way to Montana, where she dedicated herself to teaching empowering burlesque workshops. Her mission? To help women embrace their true selves, fostering confidence and self-expression in a supportive environment. Whether you're seeking self-discovery or simply looking to let loose, Charlie Angel, is here to guide you on your dance journey.
Emily
Ballet Flow - Thursday's at 5:15pm
Emily started dancing at 3 years of age and never stopped. She spent her youth in ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, lyrical, and hip hop classes and eventually started teaching. She was certified by the Dance Masters of Michigan and taught multiple class types. In college Emily decided to explore ballroom dancing and found a new fun way to express herself in a community environment. The social aspect of ballroom brought a new level of variety that sparked a renewed interet in her life long sport. As an adult, Emily continues to both teach and dance. While taking the last few years off to focus on travel and career, she never stopped finding the joy in moving her body in her free time. Now settled here in Wenatchee, Emily is excited to shake off the rust and get back into teaching to inspire everyone to let go, soak in the music, and dance.

Stephanie
HIIT Dance TURN UP - Wednesday's at 5:15pm
Steph has been dancing for over 10 years and has spent the last five competing with an adult hip-hop group. In 2023, she discovered Turn Up and instantly fell in love. Not just with the class, but with everything it stands for. For Steph, it’s more than just movement; it’s joy, release, and a safe space to be unapologetically yourself. She loves sharing that same energy with others and creating a community where everyone feels welcome. When she’s not dancing, Steph’s usually reading, singing along to musical theatre, or spending time with friends and family.
Sara - Instructor & President
Pole Fitness Level 1-3 - Tuesdays at 6:15pm and Saturdays at 8am
"I was born and raised in Wenatchee, WA. I never dreamed we would have a gym like this come to life in our small town! The studio came in to my life at the perfect time, shortly after the birth of my first child. I regained my confidence and strength, and my love for pole dancing quickly turned in to passion! I have been a member of the studio since the early days and have taken hundreds of classes. Acquaintances have turned in to friendships, and this place has become my home away from home and added some extra spice to my life of being a stay at home mom. When I'm not at the studio, you can find me at the lake, or in the mountains. I am SO excited to take this next step and share my love of dancing with the community!" - Sara
Tomas
Waving - Monday's at 7:30pm
My names is Tomás Francisco Sauceda. Im a 35 year dancer. Ive been dancing for the last 16 years. In my dance journey i have been blessed and able to study under bopping andre, a creator of many of the textures used in dance styles all over the world. Ive studied under Jsmooth, whom is considered one of the best wavers if not the best in the world right now. I take what ive learn from both of them mash it into my own style of waving. Ive taught all over the state and have been able to teach in a few others as well. My goal as a teacher is never to have a dancer move like me but to learn how to do what I can do and move in a way that is uniquely them.

Shelly - Instructor, Executive Director and Treasurer
Hi, I’m Shelly - Founder and instructor at Epic Motion in Wenatchee. I moved here in April 2020 while finishing my degree in Outdoor Adventure Programming and interning with Parks & Rec. When I discovered there were no pole or aerial options for adults in town, I followed my passion and opened this studio.
With over 20 years of experience teaching and performing pole dance across the U.S., I also bring a strong background in personal training and group fitness. I currently teach TRX, aerial hoop, pole, and a variety of movement-based classes focused on strength, confidence, and self-expression. Epic Motion is more than a studio, it’s a growing, empowering community, and I’m excited to share this journey with you!
