I love this place. It is very welcoming! I’ve been taking pole dancing classes here for about a year now. Instructors are not just pole dancers, they really are very well trained to teach how to pole dance. Who should take classes here?
I’ve been going to Pink Poles since August 2021 and let me just say the series is definitely worth it! I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and above all I’ve met a plethora of talented ladies whom I have the privilege to call my pole sisters. The staff here is very friendly and supportive as well.
I came to my first class and FEEL IN LOVE!! I wanted to work out but still have fun. I became a member and that decision has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I have gain so much strength and confidence. Being a member is like being apart of a sisterhood.
