This is the best pole studio I have been to. The tricks class is intimate and not intimidating at all. It promotes a positive dance environment that makes you feel confident and strong and capable. Sonia is an amazing teacher. By far my favorite pole teacher. I learned how to climb the pole in like a month. -May❤️

10/10 experience!!! I can't say enough great things about my experience at Life of a Pole Trick Studio! I have been taking pole class privates with Sonya weekly for several months as well as multiple energy healing sessions that have been life-changing and have helped me on my spiritual journey.

★★★★★ — Rosie, Oct 2023

Took my fist class and loved it. Signed up for the rest of the month. She is an amazing teacher she works with you and makes you feel comfortable. Classes are small which I love! You can see the passion she has for pole a d teaching it. She makes class fun and always makes you laugh.

Your first pole class at Life Of A Pole Trick 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.

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.
