From the reviews
I came here for my first Lyra class and to try another pole dance studio and im in love! Its far from me but it’s still worth the drive as the studio is extremely professional and hands down one of the safest set ones ive been in. The instructors are incredibly skilled and very kind.
I came here for a silks class and loved the studio, instructor, and all around experience. The instructor did a great job paying attention to everyone equally and gave us newbies a really fun and somewhat advanced lesson that made us feel like we were really getting to learn and not just kept busy, like some other…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing experience at Bittersweet Studios! From the moment I walked in, the energy was welcoming, uplifting, and supportive. I recently tried aerial yoga for the first time, and it was both challenging and empowering in the best way.
Take whatever class you’re considering! I did my first ever aerial silks class here. Upon entering the door they were very welcoming. Even received a tour of the studio. Very clean and spacious! The class itself was so much fun.
Your first pole class at Bittersweet Studios
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.
