From the reviews

We had my daughter's 7th birthday party here and it was FANTASTIC. All the kids had so much fun! The circus theme was so creative, and the kids really enjoyed doing something new and challenging. I'm looking forward to trying some of the fitness classes that are held there.

★★★★★ — Brandy, Apr 2018

I started pole dancing because I thought it would be a fun way to get a good workout in and My experience in Kristen's class has been that plus so much more. I was so nervous starting out, not really knowing what to expect but The support that Kristen gives her students is amazing.

★★★★★ — Ryann, Apr 2015

I purchased a pole dance party Groupon for this business. My girlfriends and I have no experience in pole dancing whatsoever. But, Kristen is a great instructor! She really knows the sport well and definitely made each of us feel comfortable. She taught us basic pole dancing techniques and how to lap dance.

★★★★☆ — Shannon, Mar 2011

I've been to 2 group classes with Kristen, both for bachelorette parties. They were both wonderful! Don't let the outside fool you, even though it looks a little shady. The inside is clean and well maintained, and Kristen is an absolute delight, especially if you enjoy sarcastic humor.

Bachelorette & private parties at by appt only - The Toy Box Pole Dance Studio Mobile & Private options

by appt only - The Toy Box Pole Dance Studio Mobile & Private options comes up for private parties, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 by appt only - The Toy Box Pole Dance Studio Mobile & Private options

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.
