Pole Parties in Chicago

Booking a pole party in Chicago: what to ask
- Group minimum and maximum. Most studios need a minimum headcount (often around 4–8) and cap the group at how many poles they have — ask both, and whether a big crew can be split across two instructors.
- What's in the package. How long the class runs, whether it's spins and tricks, floorwork, heels or chair dance, and what's included versus an add-on. Some throw in decorations, a toast, or photos.
- Drinks and decorating. If you want BYOB bubbly or to decorate, confirm it's allowed — it varies by studio and local law, and most keep drinks to before or after the class, not during.
- Total price and deposit. Per person or flat group rate, what a deposit holds, and the cancellation policy. Get the real number for your date and headcount rather than relying on a ballpark.
- Date and lead time. Popular slots (weekend evenings especially) book up, so ask how far ahead to reserve, and whether they can accommodate any mobility needs or non-drinkers in the group.
