From the reviews

Amanda is SO amazing in every way! Very skilled, experienced, knowledgeable, and educated in her trade. I was all nerves when I attended my first couple of classes, and her personality just breaks all that ice.

★★★★★ — Briauna, Apr 2022

very cool instructor, she checks one-on-one with everyone in the beginner class to make sure we are feeling comfortable and can do the new move she teaches. very comfortable environment, we started with stretches then she taught us some basic moves and at the end there was a freestyle period where we got to practice…

★★★★★ — Anthony, Mar 2023

Amanda was super sweet & make you feel really comfortable when it’s your first time on the pole. I went in self conscious but Amanda made you feel like it’s okay you are a beginner! I enjoyed the class & the instructor as well!

★★★★★ — Kaylia, May 2022

I'm not exaggerating when I say this place has changed my life. I have never been so strong and confident. I have made amazing friendships here and love all the instructors so much! I look forward to all my classes (especially with Alisa!) and feel so empowered being a member here.

Bachelorette & private parties at North Pole Dance Studio

North Pole Dance Studio 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 North Pole Dance 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.
