T-Valley Studio was born from passion, confidence, and a desire to inspire others to move boldly. Founder DeAnthony Poole first discovered his love for aerial fitness back in 2020, when he joined a family member for a pole-dancing class just for fun. What started as a spontaneous experience quickly turned into a calling — his natural talent and drive caught the instructor’s eye, who encouraged him to keep going. After a year of consistent training, DeAnthony mastered pole before expanding his artistry into aerial silks, hoop (lyra), and heels. As his skills grew, so did his community. His performances and tutorials gained attention and support across social media, building a strong following and inspiring others to try something new. That momentum led him to open his first aerial fitness studio in Norfolk, Virginia, where he began teaching and empowering students to feel strong, confident, and fearless. Eventually, DeAnthony decided to return to his hometown of Danville, Virginia, to share that same world of aerial movement and self-expression with his own community. Beyond the studio, he also runs You Are Not Alone Home Healthcare LLC and works as a licensed real-estate agent — a true man of many hats, all tied by a single purpose: to uplift others. At T-Valley Studio, DeAnthony’s mission is simple — to create a space where everyone can challenge themselves, find their confidence, and never give up on trying something new.
