From the reviews
I love it here! The owner is super welcoming and there are many apparatuses you can try! It is a great environment! I also love all of the teacher!! Julie and Anastasia are great and I have learned so much from them!!! Esther has also been super positive! They have adult and children classes.
Love this place! I am 25yo learning aerial for the first time and Jess is an amazing teacher! She is kind, patient, and takes the time to make sure you understand the skills you are learning so you can perform them safely.
My daughter loves her classes! The classes are a great way to learn something new and get your body moving in new ways. We have done their summer camps for a couple of years now and love them. It's a great way to learn many different skills in a fun and liberating way! Super Jes and her crew are amazing!
Cool little place. We came here for a birthday party. Lots of neat features and equipment and the instructors seemed good with the kids.
Bachelorette & private parties at Fort Collins Circus Center
Fort Collins Circus Center comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.
Your first pole class at Fort Collins Circus Center
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.
