From the reviews

Kelly's School of Dance provides exactly the experience we were looking for for our 7 year old daughter who was interested in trying dance. It is affordable and has a wholesome atmosphere.

My daughter visits this school and she enjoys a lot! They have lots of classes to choose from, people who work there are very friendly, and it is affordable. The environment is very cheerful and playful for kids of all ages.

★★★★★ — Amalia, Apr 2019

We love Kelly & the other teachers. She has something special and our kids have learned so much from her. My son has ADHD and we struggled to find something where he could really shine but from the very first day with Kelly we knew we had found it! This is his third year with her and we look forward to many more.

★★★★★ — Sara, Feb 2019

I’ve been going to this studio for 5 years and I’m about to start my 6th! This has been such a fun faith based community that I’ve loved being a part of. They always answer any questions I’ve had and are sure to involve everyone in their classes! I’ll continue to recommend them to others!

Your first pole class at Kelly's School of Dance & Aerial

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.
