From the reviews

Awesome experience! I was really nervous but I am so glad I went! The beginners class was so much fun, the perfect amount of stretching, conditioning, tricks and cool down. It is a full body work out! The studio is beautiful and modern and the owners/instructors are fantastic.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Jan 2018

After about 5 years of pole dancing, I was looking for a studio that could take my training to the next level. Ecole de Pole Cleveland has been such an inclusive and professional place to take classes! Their student population is very diverse, which I think proves their welcoming environment.

★★★★★ — Carrie, Dec 2019

Edited in 2025, three years later: Still taking classes here, and still love it! *** I have been taking classes here for six months here, and I have loved my experience! There are a huge variety of classes to choose from, for all levels of fitness.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Jan 2025

I really enjoyed the location and the instructors. There's a large array of classes to take (more than just pole) and the instructors try to give everyone attention during lessons so there's an aspect of individual guidance even during group classes. All instructors are professionally trained and certified.

Your first pole class at Ecole de Pole Cleveland

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.
