Thanks to the Nu-U team. I'm really enjoying coming to this place, the atmosphere has a beautiful energy. Yoga classes are wonderful. I like the fact that you feel like they take special care of you. The community of instructors take care of your progress and at the same time encourage you to new challenging poses.

Ofelia is an excellent instructor, she is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, charismatic, I could not say enough good things about her, I was hesitant taking the class thinking I couldn't do it but after my first class I feel very confident is a doable sport even for someone with no experience, I think it all…

★★★★★ — Karina, Jan 2024

Even in your first beginners class you will feel like you made a lot of progress! I really like that the beginners class does not teach you any lifts/climbs because I don’t have the arm strength for it but there is still a lot of other things to learn.

Your first pole class at Nu-U Studio by Pole & Performance, LLC

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.
