At Happy Kiss Pole, we believe in the transformative power of movement. What began as a dream in 2014, blossomed into a haven for self-expression, exploration, and empowerment. Nestled in the heart of Gainesville, FL our studio started in the spare bedroom of our founder's home. From those humble beginnings, we've grown into a vibrant community dedicated to celebrating everyone who steps into our space through the art of pole dance.
Founded by Johanna Monserratte, Happy Kiss Pole Dance was born out of a passion for movement and a desire to create a space where everyone feels welcome. Inspired by the liberating and sensual aspects of pole dance, our studio embodies the values of haven, play, and voice. These principles guide everything we do, from our classes to our community events. Happy Kiss Pole Dance, 501 NW 23 Ave, Suite B, Gainesville, 32609.

Get ready to island-hop without leaving Florida.
Saturday Shoppes presents Taste of the Islands: Caribbean Fest — where jerk chicken meets steel drums, and every bite tells a story from Jamaica to Trinidad, Barbados to Haiti.
This is not just another market — it is a full-blown Caribbean takeover. We are bringing the heat with food trucks serving up authentic island flavors: jerk everything, curry goat, doubles, plantains fried to perfection, rum cake that'll make you weak, and tropical drinks that taste like vacation in a cup.
Live music? We got that steel pan groove, reggae vibes, and Afrobeats bumping while you shop from local vendors slinging everything from handmade jewelry to island-inspired art. Think Florida sunshine meets Caribbean soul — all the flavor, all the vibes, zero passport required.
What to expect
Authentic Caribbean cuisine from multiple islands
