From the reviews
I've been coming to Monarch for a few months now and I can so incredible OBSESSED!! I have always wanted to try dance, but it is so hard to find adult classes locally. All the instructors are so friendly and the studio is very calm. It is one of the prettiest ones I could find in the area.
Such an amazing pole studio! The space itself is absolutely beautiful and always well-maintained. The students are friendly and welcoming, which creates a really supportive environment for learning. The poles are great quality and so much fun to dance on.
I took a class with Sandra and got my ass kicked in the best way! Might not be everyone’s Cup of tea, but let’s face it I’m not going to work out expecting a fluffy participation trophy. I want to feel sore as a reward. I also want to feel like I’m being held accountable to show up week after week.
Monarch is an aesthetically beautiful studio. The space is ideal for pole. Ample space between poles, they're tall enough for those complex tumbling combos, and they have different diameter sizes: standard and skinny (for small hands.) Full length mirrors and adjustable lightening add to the environment.
Bachelorette & private parties at Monarch Pole Dance
Monarch Pole Dance comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.
Your first pole class at Monarch Pole Dance
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.
