From the reviews

I absolutely love taking classes here. It’s really fun and the coaches are so friendly! I have been able to build up my upper body strength and build my coordination! Coach Dionne is amazing! She breaks everything down into small steps and modifies the skills if you done have the strength built up yet.

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Dec 2022

I have been taking classes with Coach Dionne here for a little over a year and it’s been great! Pole sport is about so much more than just the moves, it teaches you how to train and strengthen so you can properly execute moves and be comfortable and confident doing it.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Dec 2022

I love taking classes here! Everyone is very friendly and so helpful! Coach Dionne is amazing! She breaks down moves step by step so that you’re comfortable with what’s being taught and will be safe when executing the move. She truly cares about seeing her students succeed!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Dec 2022

I’ve been taking intro to pole with Dionne on Mondays and it’s been a great experience. Pole sport is so hard! I don’t feel ready to move on to pole 1 yet (mostly because I can’t climb yet) so I think I will take intro again during the winter session

Your first pole class at Polerina Dance Studio - Rapid City

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.
