From the reviews

The instructor was off putting to me. Only took one star off cause maybe the other staff are welcoming but this instructor Didnt cultivate an open environment like other beginner classes. And thats all you remember when you try something new.

Maria deserves 5 stars, she is my favorite teacher and her choreo is amazing!! I came here awhile ago and I also really enjoyed April's class but when I came back to book she keeps getting replaced by a sub. I also realized that she bumped her car door into my car and didn't even apologize.

★★★★☆ — Richard, May 2023

The studio culture can be very laid back, either you love it or you hate it. The regular students are a very fun group and the showcases are hands down the best entertainment around.

★★★★☆ — Muffin, May 2024

I've been coming here since November, 2021. All of the instructors are so kind and patient. There are so many ages, ethnicities, body types, genders, etc. that come to dance here and everyone is treated with so much respect. The instructors here are HEALERS.

Your first pole class at Secret Pole Dance 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.

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.
