Polearized
A custom website for pole sport, dance, and flexibility, from a first class to a membership, with a schedule that stays clear until dates are confirmed.
The live homepage, including the studio’s Chat with Varvara.
Overview
A studio website with the discipline of a product.
Polearized needed a public home for pole sport, dance, and flexibility in Etobicoke. The result is a custom Next.js site: eight pages, one editorial system, and a path from a first class to a pack or a membership. A new student can tell the practices apart before spending. A returning student can go straight to a price. The schedule says when dates are still to come, instead of pretending a calendar is open.
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
Five class paths. Level detail stays closed until a student asks.
Direction
Editorial warmth, with the rules left visible.
The studio is treated as a refined room, not a fitness landing page. Bodoni Moda carries the headlines. DM Sans carries the reading. Ivory, blush, rose, and wine stay quiet around the photography. Prices, the three-month membership commitment, and the essential booking policies sit in that same system.

The story, once the intro has settled.
Three booking rules stay visible. The rest open on request.
Responsive
The same studio, at the width of a phone.
On a wide screen the navigation stays in the header. On a phone it becomes a full menu that holds the page still, then returns focus when it closes. The offer does not change as the layout tightens. Hover is reserved for a pointer, so touch does not depend on it.

Homepage.
Menu, scroll locked until Escape or close.
Coming soon, at phone width.
Motion
Motion that arrives, then gets out of the way.
Desktop scrolling is smoothed with Lenis. A phone keeps its natural touch. GSAP plays a short intro and the scroll-linked moments on one clock, so the page never feels like two systems competing. Class levels and questions open with a measured change in height. When a visitor prefers reduced motion, the smoothing stops and those details open without it.

Engineering
The studio’s tools, connected with care.
The website does not take payment. Packs, memberships, and Open Pole open in Acuity, where the studio already manages purchases. A contact form delivers a complete note by email, and chat is available through a custom “Chat with Varvara” button. Recent posts from @polearizeddance can appear on the homepage. Each public page has its own title and share card, and the eight pages are listed for search.

- Resend
- Crisp
Pack and membership buttons leave this site for Acuity. Payment stays there.
The homepage shows the studio’s current Instagram post, and can show up to four recent posts.
Experience
Ready for a first class.
Eight pages, one visual system, and a clear way to read the offer, ask a question, and continue into booking. Payment stays in Acuity. The class calendar publishes when the studio confirms its dates.
