From the reviews

I love my time at B&F so much and really appreciate the small class size, attention to detail, and knowledgable staff. Its so great that they've added the Spencer Road location in addition to their spot on Waller.

B&F has some of the greatest pole dance teachers and studios in the city! A great place for community, growth and creativity. A true special and vital place in the city of Richmond.

One of the BEST decisions you can make for yourself. If you’re thinking about taking Infusion, DO IT!!!!!! Butter & Filth with transform you into a person who is fully alive. This is not a place of gimmicks and “feel-good-fast” regiments. This place is REAL.

★★★★★ — Sara, Mar 2026

Butter and Filth has become like a second home to me. I have had a membership for over two years and have grown so much in many ways. B&F offers so much more than only pole dance classes, and the staff/instructors and students are all amazing, encouraging, and want to see you grow and have fun without judgment or…

Bachelorette & private parties at Butter & Filth Pole Classes and Parties

Butter & Filth Pole Classes and Parties comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.

Your first pole class at Butter & Filth Pole Classes and Parties

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.

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.
