Meet The Owner

Jennifer Scholl

Owner & Artistic Director, Pink Lemon Studio 

Jennifer Scholl is the owner of Pink Lemon Studio, the largest pole studio in the St. Louis area. She is a pole dancer, aerialist, go go dancer, fitness model and bikini bodybuilding competitor.


Jennifer Scholl is a licensed BUTI Yoga fitness instructor and licensed RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) who has been featured on Fox 2 news for bringing BUTI yoga to St. Louis. Jennifer has a background in healthcare with certifications as a licensed laboratory technician who served a 5 year service term in the United States Army, and also as a licensed massage therapist since 2007. Jennifer attended Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, MO and George Washington University in Washington, DC where she received her Associate of Health Sciences. Her education and career in the healthcare industry eventually steered her towards fitness as she found that was the best way to promote healthy living was to provide preventative personal health care.


After discovering pole dancing classes in 2010, she was quickly hooked on the exercise after her first class. She realized that pole was a full body conditioning exercise, and saw her confidence rise as she gained both strength and flexibility. Jennifer quickly became well versed in the language of pole, spending countless hours watching pole videos and training on the pole trying to achieve those moves. Jennifer helped grow the St. Louis pole dance community by spreading the positive message of health and fitness through her pole dance fitness classes. She also taught military style bootcamps, kickboxing, barre fitness, chair dance, burlesque, cardio strip fitness, hula hooping, and RockstarFit drumming fitness classes.


She was passionate about her craft to teach the art of pole and began to travel around the country to train with well known pole fitness athletes. Learning from others, she began to see that pole was more than a trend, there were hundreds of pole dancers all over the world! She saw the pole revolution spreading, and she began to see and feel the physical and mental changes in herself. She decided to challenge herself and entered into the world of competitive pole dancing at the very first Gateway Pole Dance Competition 2013 held in St. Louis, Mo. Adding fuel to her fire, she attended the Midwest Pole Dance Competition 2013 to watch the pole athletes and take more workshops. Later that year she was asked to judge at the Pole Dance America 2014 preliminary held in Kansas City, Mo. In May 2014 she was part of the judging panel at the Central Pole Dance Championships 2014, held in Chicago, IL. She won 1st place the following year at the Central Pole Dance Championships 2015. In July 2015 she won 3rd place at the Midwest Pole Dance Competition 2015. She looks forward to being more involved with the future of competitive pole fitness.


In 2013 she decided to make pole fitness her full time passion and opened her pole dance studio in St Louis, Mo. She wanted a space dedicated solely to teaching the Art of Pole, her studio encompasses both the sensual and the fitness aspects of pole. In 2015 she expanded and opened the largest pole fitness facility in St Louis. Jennifer developed her own technique based pole training program and has seen marked success with her students ability to achieve pole tricks faster, with safe instruction, and without injury.

“I believe every woman, at any age, or any fitness level can learn and love pole!”
