From the reviews
This is my favorite studio for adults in Denver by far! There is a great variety in class styles, instructors are personable and kind, the price is right & the owner is a precious gem. If you are a first timer or professional dancer, this is where you want to be training & networking.
Love this Studio so much! The owner (Markie) is an amazing dancer, teacher, and human. All of the instructors are extremely professional! This place is a Denver gem!
There are not enough words to describe how **AMAZING** Hard Candy Dance Studio is!!! My friends and I planned a Bachelorette Party and Marquette (the owner) was a phenomenal asset to the process!
Wow, this place is incredible. I showed up with a friend for modern burlesque with Sophia not knowing anyone. By the end I felt more confident, and super inspired. Every level is welcomed here and everyone is cheered on. It's a wonderful place to express yourself and get your energy out.
Your first pole class at Hard Candy Dance Studio
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.
