From the reviews
What a beautiful dance community! I was absolutely brand new to pole dancing and felt such a welcoming, body-positive environment. The owner/instructor Cally will support you in finding what draws you to dance and building that out in your own ways.
WOW I have been coming to Pole at Play for almost 5 years!! And I don’t plan on stopping. This studio is so much more than a place to learn sexy, fun and exotic pole dancing.
I attended pole at play for a year or so before they moved into the new building and for a few months after the move. My life has just gotten too busy to continue attendance at the moment. But the new space is amazing and dreamy. The whole community here is wonderful and supportive.
I could not be happier with my Pole at Play experience! With an incredibly supportive atmosphere and a knowledgeable teacher, the Pole at Play studio feels like home. I highly recommend this studio and will never stop going. I absolutely adore Cally and my classmates. 💖
Your first pole class at Pole at Play
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.
