From the reviews
I was so excited to find this in Covington/Kent! I’ve been interested in pole but unwilling to drive to Seattle or Tacoma. Annette (owner) is friendly and has so much dance and teaching experience. You'll learn all sorts of tips and tricks for strengthening your body while feeling great about yourself!
Learning from Annette and dancing at Carousel for the last 6 months has been such a wonderful experience! I hadn't danced a day in my life before deciding it was time for me to get my groove on, build strength and confidence, and learn something new... now I will never look back!!
I signed up for classes last minute and it is one of the best decisions I’ve made this year! My instructor was Allison and I really couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She took the time to help us settle into our bodies before we proceeded with our sessions and provided one on one guidance with pole training.
I enjoy this studio a lot. Nicole and Annette are great instructors. I haven’t had other instructors yet, but I am positive they’re just as awesome! If you want to start your pole dancing journey with the inclusive feelings, then I’d strongly recommend Carousel Pole & Dance.
Bachelorette & private parties at Carousel Pole and Dance
Carousel Pole and Dance 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 Carousel 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: 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.
