From the reviews
I love my experience here! I am an adult and I was worried I would be a bit awkward when starting ballet as a middle-age learner. The teachers at Cleveland City Dance made me feel welcome and even cherished. I started with one class, then within a few weeks I added a second then third class.
My husband Mike and I take Pilates in Shaker Square – at Cleveland City Dance. The studio is a short walk away – behind a modest white storefront near the Atlas Theater. The class – offered both in the studio and online – focuses on core fitness, flexibility, balance, and strength building.
Love the experience with Cleveland City Dance. My daughter was a dancer with another dance studio (2022-2023) prior to coming to CCD. She attended one drop-in class for Ballet. After the class, my daughter exclaimed, "Mom, (previous dance studio) does not teach me ANYTHING!
My daughter has enjoyed classes at Cleveland City Dance. She loved being taught by Miss Courtney and Miss Heather. We love their version of "The Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker" which my daughter was fortunate enough to perform in a few different roles over the years.
Your first pole class at Cleveland City 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.
