Anyone can learn Pole Dance with intuitive progressions


Do you want to learn pole acrobatics but don’t know where to start?

Have you felt afraid or simply lacked the right guidance?


At Pole Ninja Tutorials, everything is taught progressively—with safety first and curiosity a close second.


While Dr. Ken’s Silent Tutorials remain the most accessible content on pole tricks, flow, and acrobatics, Pole Ninja Tutorials has expanded into:

  • Spoken physiology and pole biomechanics lessons, based on Dr. Ken’s background as a Doctor of Chiropractic
  • Pole art focused on flow, fluidity, and sensation.
  • Pole Theory tutorials that explore concepts rather than isolated movements, supporting self-exploration


Pole Ninja Tutorials is the go-to resource for pole acrobatics—open to dancers of any level and style. Anyone can pole dance. Anyone can learn pole acrobatics and tricks.


PNT is not a random collection of skills. It’s a clear roadmap to discovering your own pole potential.


It helps you know exactly where to start and where to go next, building a path based on your own desires.

Whatever your level, the tutorials have been designed so that there is something valuable to work on for just about anyone of any experience level.

"You are Your Own Crash Mat"


A phrase I use often--often, if you "need" a crash mat, you aren't ready to progress, yet. Be your own crash mat and learn to trust your own innate awareness.

Dr. Ken’s story may feel familiar to many of you. A lifelong student, he has studied everything from dance and martial arts to medicine, music, literature, and photography. Traditional methods like lectures and exams never worked well for him.

Instead, personal study, hands-on experience, and following his own curiosity have always been his most effective—and natural—ways of learning.

His background in functional neurology, along with years of teaching experience, has deepened his understanding that there are many ways to share knowledge, especially in movement education.

That’s why Silent Tutorials are built on the simplest and most universal method of all: monkey see, monkey do.

Who is Dr. Ken?

I've been touring and teaching pole internationally since 2014, and have now taught in over 35 countries.

I built my reputation on dynamic and fluid movements, but I’m especially proud to be known for accessible and intuitive progressions.

While I’ve competed, placed, and judged at many prestigious international events, what truly shapes my teaching is my background as a Doctor of Chiropractic, my experience as a Kung Fu and Parkour instructor, and a lifetime of movement exploration.

I hope these tutorials feel innovative and educational—and above all, enriching for your movement practice.
