From the reviews

I love the variety of different classes I can take here! I've been coming to Jagged for at least a year now. I like to mix it up, so I've been in class with most of the instructors by now and I've always felt well supported and guided through each step.

★★★★★ — Nik, Jun 2019

This place is literally one of my favorite places on earth. Taking classes here is fun, challenging and rewarding all at once and I recommend this place to everyone.

★★★★★ — Scott, Jun 2021

This is a great studio. I’ve been to a lot and this is one of the smoothest running ones I’ve been to which keeps me coming back so often. The studio owner, Jess, takes so much pride in her studio and it shows!

★★★★★ — Alissa, Jun 2019

I have been looking for a new circus home since my relocation to Santa Monica and was very excited to eventually find Jagged. The equipment is well rigged and maintained, there is a huge variety of classes at all levels, and best of all - the instructors are good at *teaching* as opposed to just being performers.

Your first pole class at Jagged Vertical Dance & Fitness

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.
