From the reviews
I purchased a beginners punch card with 5 classes a couple months ago and just last week signed up for a beginners 1 class with KJ. I was a little nervous to go but the anxiety quickly went away when I was greeted so kindly by her when I arrived. The physical environment was clean and warm.
Best pole class to learn from. So body positive and such amazing teachers. Edit to add: I've grown much more confident in myself since starting class. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in pole class!!
This is by far the most fun workout I've ever done! Every single instructor here is amazing and they offer a wide variety of classes so there is always something new to learn. Just be warned, you might become addicted to it like me!
My daughter took me here as a gift. We were in a beginner class. Jess was the instructor. She is very patient and provided instructions tailored to the skill level. I would definitely attend again.
Bachelorette & private parties at Polemic Dance & Fitness Studio
Polemic Dance & Fitness 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 Polemic Dance & Fitness 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.
