From the reviews

My friend suggested I do this class with her because I’ve had ALOT going on. We went to the introduction class and I was sooo nervous. However, as the class continued I experienced a confidence I never have before! I felt free, liberated, beautiful, and confident in my body!

★★★★★ — Shiniqua, Jan 2024

I’ve been pole dancing on and off since 2014 and have been to numerous studios both domestically and internationally and can honestly say PBA’s Winston Salem location is easily top three studios I have attended. I can’t believe this establishment is in Winston Salem!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Apr 2024

This place is so special. Never have I ever felt so free to be myself in a group/class setting. The sense of community and support is top notch, not to mention the heart and talent that each owner & instructor brings to the space. I feel lucky to be a part of this PBA community.

★★★★★ — Jenny, Jan 2025

This studio is amazing across the continuum. It is conveniently located. It is clean. The staff is friendly. The classes are great and it is an awesome space to meet new people and challenge yourself in the sport of pole fitness and dance.

Bachelorette & private parties at Pole Body & Arts

Pole Body & Arts comes up for private parties, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Pole Body & Arts

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.
