From the reviews
the instructor is a amazing. when i first came in i didnt know what i was getting myself into. but after the first class i was just conformable and she goes into the simple spins at first and as you go she she adds more and more in each lesson. it was very worth it!
Angela is super knowledgeable and has a ton of experience teaching. The classes are small, so there is a lot of one-on-one attention, also making it WAY less intimidating than I thought it would be. Bonus: great work out!
Classes with Angela are amazing! I really feel like I am transgressing the boundaries of my body. You can’t believe how fast you can build up muscles with the pole and then that strength helps you improve your moves and spins, lets you do them effortlessly and moore elegantly.
best instructor ever! very patient and and effective, i was a complete beginner and finished the beginner classes and learned a lot :) super fun and positive class. i really enjoyed these classes and is continuing. plus very affordable i do recommend. Angela is great and super nice.
Bachelorette & private parties at Pole Velocity Dance and Fitness
Pole Velocity Dance and Fitness 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 Pole Velocity Dance and Fitness
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.
