From the reviews

I’m a beginner and I’ve been coming here for two months (about 12 classes). Here’s what I love: • They are super welcoming, body positive, and open to all abilities and fitness levels. They are inclusive to all types of people and very queer-friendly!

★★★★★ — Shannon, Jan 2019

If you want a boost to your self esteem, come here! Really! I recently joined and I am a total beginner. I'm 5'7" and 200lbs, so I was scared. I thought I couldn't do this because I didn't fit my preconceived ideas about body type. But I wanted to challenge myself and try it.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jan 2020

The studio is always clean and very professional, and the instructors are amazing. They really take the time to work with you one on one and are very supportive. They always have a positive attitude and really care about helping you to achieve your goals, which make the classes very fun.

★★★★★ — Shelbie, Oct 2018

I've been to 2 classes here so far. I am new to pole dancing and inexperienced. The instruction both times was phenomenal. I felt comfortable with the instructor and felt like I was learning a lot and well.

Your first pole class at Ascension Pole and Dance

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: provided here — a little Dry Hands or iTac helps you stick, and knee pads make floorwork comfy. 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.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
