From the reviews

Alyssa is an excellent teacher and sets a fun, encouraging vibe. She breaks down skills and gives tips so everyone feels successful. I was nervous about my first ever pole class but Alyssa made me feel comfortable and safe to try new things and challenge myself. The studio is spacious and clean.

★★★★★ — Tammy, Aug 2021

A very peaceful welcoming space for exercise and feeling sexy. The owner/teacher Alyssa creates an environment where spinning upside down seems like an achievable goal and breaks down each move to help even persons with no dance experience be successful.

★★★★★ — Lydia, Aug 2021

Lilith Pole and Aerial Dance is filled with knowledgeable, talented and empathetic instructors. To give you some insight, thanks to this studio I started pole in January 2023 but currently, I'm at Level 4/5 inverting constantly. This would NOT have been possible without this place!!!

★★★★★ — Victoria, Aug 2024

I just finished my trial week at Lilith (which, by the way, is not only an amazing deal, but is such a great way to try all the classes, learn what you gravitates toward, and get to know a lot of the instructors and their teaching styles)... and what an amazing week it was!!!

Your first pole class at Lilith Pole and Aerial Dance (Tacoma)

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.
