  • [GLIMMER] noun: In psychology, a glimmer is the exact opposite of a trigger—it is some kind of cue, either internal or external that brings one back to a sense of joy or safety.

Glimmer is a dance-inspired, virtual studio offering pole, flexibility, and strength classes, designed to make training fun and empowering.

My mission is simple: to ignite your passion for movement so every session leaves you glowing with confidence.

Glimmer lets you train from the comfort of home while still enjoying the energy, guidance and community of a live class.

Stop comparing, start shining.

Every Glimmer workout celebrates you.

Hi, I’m Marissa

Your friendly neighbourhood pole dancer!

I’ve been doing this “pole” thing for over a decade and have helped thousands of people become stronger and more confident in their skin through pole dancing!

“But is pole dancing a real workout?”

It sure is!

I discovered pole as a tired mom with a baby at my hip and no time or energy to go to the gym. I stumbled across a video of a gorgeous dancer spinning effortlessly around a pole and thought to myself…

“I wanna do that!”

It was love at first spin!

Pole dancing improved my physical strength and boosted my confidence.

Now my mission is to inspire other people to discover their inner strength through pole dancing!

So why Glimmer?

Glimmers are those small everyday moments that evoke a sense of gratitude and safety.

In other words, glimmers are what create magic in the mundane.

Movement has always been a glimmer for me. No matter how tough life gets, dancing has always been a way to find balance again.

I can’t wait to dance, move, and celebrate all the small wins with you!

I’ve created a FREE GUIDE that will give you ALL the info you need before getting started on your pole journey.

  • I started taking online private classes with Marissa a few months ago and already see more definition in my arms and legs. I just turned 40 and wanted to do something special for myself. Thank you Marissa for all of your help and patience.
