Must-Know Tips Before You Begin Your Dance Journey

FAQs

I have no upper body strength and no dance experience, can I do these classes?

Yes, of course! Upper body strength is not a pre-requisite to start because pole dancing strengthens and conditions your entire body as you learn. You’ll find that after a few classes, you’re moving with confidence and style. As with many forms of dance, your style is completely unique, so there is no right or wrong way to move to the music. 

I’ve never taken a pole dance class before. Which class should I take first?
Our Beginner Pole 101 classes are the perfect class for someone with little or no previous pole dance experience. In that class we work from the ground up, with the first move being how to get comfortable walking around the pole. You got this! 

Do you allow walk-ins or is it by reservation only?
We do allow walk-ins, as long as there is space in the class when you arrive. If you don’t want to take the chance of the class being full, make a reservation through our website or give us a call and we’ll get you all set up. Please note that if no one has previously signed up for the class, it may have ben cancelled. 

What should I wear?
For all pole classes, show a little skin! Comfortable athletic attire, with shorts that expose two or three inches above the knee. This little bit of exposed skin is crucial to help you climb the pole. High heels are always optional, but we find that many new pole dancers prefer to learn barefoot. Don’t apply any lotion the day of your class, as it will make the pole very slippery! You will be asked to remove rings and bracelets before class. 

For chair dance classes, skin exposure is unimportant. Wear comfortable clothes that make you feel good. Heels are great for this class if you have them, but not required. 

Where should I park?
There is a free parking lot directly behind our building that always has plenty of spots. The entrance to this lot is at N. Highland and Forrest in The Heights Complex parking is free.

Do you have showers and/or changing area?
We do not have showers, but we have a changing area.


Studio Policies

In order for everyone to enjoy our awesome studio space and community vibe, we have just a few important rules:

Late Policy  
DO NOT BE LATE. THE DOOR WILL BE LOCKED 5 MINUTES AFTER THE START OF CLASS AND YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED FOR THAT CLASS. We suggest arriving 15 minutes prior to the start of your class so that you are completely ready when the instruction starts. 

Pole dancing is strenuous on the body and it is absolutely crucial that you are dressed and ready for class on time so that you don’t miss any of the warm up. Not only is lateness a safety issue, but it is also disruptive to the instructor and your fellow students. We are very strict about this rule and will not make any exceptions, there are reminders on every class confirmation email. 

Cancellation Policy
We have a 12 hour cancellation policy. This means that if you cancel out of your class at least 12 hours before the start of the class, that class credit will go back into your account for use on a different class. If you late cancel, within 12 hours of the class time, you will lose the class credit. 

Low Attendance Policy 
To absolutely guarantee a spot in a class, you must make a reservation online or by giving us a call. We welcome walk-ins, but be aware that if no one has signed up within four hours of the class start time, it will be cancelled.
