From the reviews
I should’ve written a review long before this. I started taking classes in August 2022 and since then I have become extremely obsessed and try to go to as many classes as I can/ can afford!
I have been going to Hustle and Flow for a year and a half and I'm so happy about it. I walk home after class with a smile on my face. Where it's held has great energy with big windows, hard wood floors and the music we dance too is always on point! The owner, Steph, who teaches many classes is a gem!
I came to a pole class while on a trip- I'll definitely be back! Welcoming, supportive, multiple options for folks at different levels. I signed up for a class with experience needed and the studio reached out beforehand to check in with me to make sure I saw that, definitely going the extra mile.
Hands down my favorite place/community in Portland! I've been going to Hustle and Flow for a few years now and LOVE it! I was warmly welcomed into the community. Not only are the classes amazing, the people/ community are absolutely wonderful. Steph is a star and has crafted a beautiful and safe space.
Bachelorette & private parties at Hustle and Flow
Hustle and Flow 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 Hustle and Flow
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.
