From the reviews

Thank you for bringing the whimsy to our fundraiser! We booked performers though Live It UP Studio. They had a large variety of performers! Fire dancers, fire eaters, silks, hoop and rope and other enchanting dances. Our guests were absolutely mesmerized! Everyone was taking photos and videos and cheering loud!

I’ve been training at Live It Up Studio for 11 years, and it’s truly been life-changing. The instructors are skilled, encouraging, and create such a supportive environment. This place helped me build strength, confidence, and an amazing community.

★★★★★ — Kiwisquad, Apr 2025

I was so skeptical when I found Live it up and Polerina studio.. in a mall no less. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and checked in for my first pole class.

Your first pole class at Live It Up Studio - Aerial Dance and Fitness - Rapid City, SD

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.
