From the reviews

I have been seeing Bethany from Cirque Alaska for three years, and it has been the longest I've stuck with anything. Bethany continually pushes me towards being the best version of myself, and her genuine interest in my growth as an aerialist and as a person inspires me.

I enjoy the classes very much. Not only are the teachers kind and helpful but the other students are extremely friendly. They are kind to everyone and any differences of opinion are put aside to create an amazing learning environment.

I have been going to Cirque Alaska for about 3 years now. I find it very fulfilling and fun. The instructors are very funny and provide exceptional explanation of aerial concepts and skills. Everyone is very kind and welcoming to new students.

Your first pole class at Cirque Alaska

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.
