From the reviews

I danced here for almost exactly 10 years, and started with Saturday stomp classes, and everything about my journey since then with dance has been the best 10 years, the original owner Miss.Becky was like a grandma to me, everyday she'd welcome me with a hug, our new owner Miss.

Our daughter is in her 3rd year dancing at Showcase Dance. Her first year she took a weekly class and was invited to try out for competition dance at the end of the season. They were awesome at explaining upfront what competition dance was all about and what the costs would be.

★★★★★ — Emily, Sep 2014

Showcase has been an extended family for my daughter for 14 years. They know her name, genuinely care for her, promote positive life skills, and they guide dancers to set their goals with an action plan of how they can achieve their own personal goals.

Your first pole class at Showcase Dance

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.
