Welcome!
Hi, I’m Riri Valora! I’m a pole dance instructor now based in Houston, after spending a little over three years in Los Angeles. I began my pole journey in my late twenties with zero dance or fitness background – a sweet reminder that it’s truly never too late to begin something new. Pole became my space to play, to move, and to dance my heart out. It’s fun, empowering, and deeply liberating.
I currently teach at Inner Me Studios here in Houston, as well as online. My favorite classes to teach are basework tricks and flows, and acro chair. My teaching style is all about making pole and chair feel accessible, supportive, and empowering. I know everyone’s body is unique, and I love helping students discover their own version of success.
When I’m not on the pole, you’ll often find me teaching yoga, relaxing at home, or learning something new while listening to jazz music.
Here, you can find my latest updates about my in-person and online classes, special promos, and over 50 class recordings that you can choose from and learn from the comfort of your own home.
If you are on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, come and say hi! I love connecting with people!

My daily essentials for waking up the body 🌞 What are your favorite ways to wake up you body in the morning?
Revisiting an old combo and making it work on my short pole 😂
A fun combo I explored during my practice. Save this for the next time you're in the mood for some pole and chair play 🤗❤️
I've been thinking about the habits that have helped me improve at pole over the years. And honestly, it's not just about spending more time on the pole . It's the little things around my practice too - preparing properly, training my body off the pole, repeating things untill they feel better, filming myself and staying curious even when I'm not training.
What's one habit that has helped you improve at pole? ☺️
Happy International Pole Dance Day 🤍
Pole has given me so much. Not just physically, but mentally too. I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met, the friendships I’ve made, the things I’ve learned, and this amazing community.
I honestly don’t know what I’d do without pole 🥹
A little snippet of the choreo I taught when I subbed an Erotic Flow class a few weeks ago.
I teach tricks, choreo, basework and stretch every week at @innermestudios , and I’d love to have you join me!
Whether you’re brand new to pole or have been poling for a while, come move, learn, stretch and have some fun with us. 🥰
Hope to see you in class soon!
Revisiting this flight attendant to split combo. What are your weekend plans? I'll be busy dancing with my pole sister @missjessicabunny and teaching at my home studio @innermestudios and I wouldn't have it any other way. Have a wonderful weekend 💋
A little floorwork play before teaching - turns out, it's actually pretty fun. Who else enjoys it? 🤗
A little pole play, a lot of repetition. Every revisit teaches my body something new even when the trick is familiar. What are you revisiting lately?
Revisited this combo I taught online during the pandemic. It was such a weird year, but I ended up doing a lot of acro chair and connecting with so many people around the world who loved it just as much as I did.
Save this reel and come back to it whenever you're in the mood for some acro chair ❤️
