I celebrated my best friend bachelorette party there yesterday and I have to say it was incredible ! The instructor made us feel very comfortable from the moment we get in the room, the decoration was amazing! The instructions were clear and all the staff were really nice and attentive!

★★★★★ — Johanna, Mar 2022

What can I say about this place other than its absolute gem to the Pilsen community! I have taken a few classes here, I am a plus size woman and I felt so confortable being on the pole and the instruction given by Francesca is absolutely amazing. I'm a visual learner and her skill on the pole will leave you speechless.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Sep 2018

Five starts for Femrpess Fit! A group of 14 ladies were lucky to take the private class Twerk and Twerl with Unica, who is an awesome instructor. She led a great warmup with a couple across the floor exercises to practice the basic twerk moves.

Bachelorette & private parties at Indigo Studios

Indigo Studios 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 Indigo Studios

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.
