From the reviews
I had the best experience during my first class at Midwest Movement Collective. The class was fun, I got a serious workout, I felt included and supported. I would be at the studio CONSTANTLY if I lived closer. The variety of classes offered is amazing and I want to try them all. Plus, a woman-owned, inclusive business?
This space is beautiful & accommodating to various dance & movement styles. The instructors are well trained, fun & patient. A very welcoming community.
I'll start this review with a disclaimer that I am a yoga instructor at MMC, but as a newbie adult dancer, this studio has been fantastic. I began learning dance just before COVID struck and had only taken eight weeks of classes in Contemporary and Modern in another city.
My husband and I wanted to take a few dance lessons before dancing in front of our family at our wedding. It was more so for fun, and to not feel like we were just swaying back and forth on the dance floor. We got four or so lessons from Meghan, and she was amazing.
Your first pole class at Midwest Movement Collective
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.
