From the reviews

I love the studio space! An intimate setting of four poles makes for personalized feedback even in a group class. Mary is an amazing instructor, warm and welcoming. It's easy to let loose and have fun no matter what level you come in as.

Tried pole for the first time in their introductory class, super fun! The instructor was approachable and the class was beginner friendly. I signed up using ClassPass and I wasn’t sure what to wear because the the description didn’t mention that the studio has silicone poles. Leggings are recommended.

Queens best pole studio ! The instructors really connects with the people . Pink silicone poles are perfect for beginners and polestars. 🔥🔥🔥

★★★★★ — Carnell, Jan 2024

I took a class with Arielle a few Saturdays ago it was amazing I love that they have poles that you automatically stick to. And then of course they still have the Chrome poles it's great that there's that option. I had a great time in this class everyone was really knowledgeable. Also the owner was awesome!

Your first pole class at Dance Queens Fitness

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.
