The classes they teach
“These classes push your strength and are SO SO fun!”
“All intro class instructors that I've taken classes with - Chandler, Anisha, and Anna have been superb - they clearly explain and demonstrate the moves and are very encouraging.”
“Anna’s way of breaking down moves and articulating best technique has helped challenging pole tricks become much more manageable.”
What's on offer
“I have been going to open pole and loving the aerial chains.”
“I think this is a good class length for a beginner program!”
What students say again and again
“The studio is clean, the poles are solid, and the instructors seem really encouraging—especially for beginners.”
“The classes move at a very doable place, where we do some body training exercises then learn 3-4 beginner tricks per class, first individually then combined into a little routine.”
“All instructors have been amazing: enthusiastic about their job, and so keen to help me improve and evolve!”
“There are all types of people taking this class and it feels like a place for self-empowerment rather than competition, so don't be intimidated!”
“I have taken classes with all the instructors and they are amazing and supportive.”
From the reviews
I have taken 6 classes of the pole intro class so far and it has exceeded my expectations! I started because I thought it would be a good opportunity to do an activity with some friends while getting a work out, but I found the pole tricks to be very uniquely challenging and satisfying to learn, unlike any other…
I began classes with AK Pole about 2 months ago and have been to 8 classes (both pole dance and tricks) so far. At first, I just wanted to try it to say "I did it! I tried a pole class! How edgy am I?!" I got over social and family stigma and nerves to give that one class a go.
This is a review of the intro to pole 4 program - It's really hard to find actual beginner classes (for any dance style really), so when I saw this studio launched the into to pole 4-weeks program, I went for it. I've been wanting to go for pole classes for a while so this was a good occasion to get started!
I struggle with anxiety and leaving the house to do activities by myself. Taking a class of this nature was definitely intimidating but i’ve been wanting to take that leap for a while now. I did my research and found AK pole and decided to give it a try. Kale was the teacher for the class and I had so much fun.
Your first pole class at AKPole Studio | Pole Dance | Pole Fitness | Flexibility | Floorwork |
Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.
