I love teaching and training at Catwoman Pole Academy. The trainers here are all amazing, kind, encouraging and patient. The environment is always fun and welcoming all levels of dancers and polers - from beginner to advanced. As a trainer here, I find reward in seeing students progress in their self expression.

I just love this studio. The instructors are professional and just so great at what they do. The Russian Exotic Pole class is my favorite. I am happy to be a part of this wonderful experience. Dancer owned and woman owned shop and I've always felt very comfortable here.

Your first pole class at Catwoman Pole Academy

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.
