From the reviews
(4.5 stars) The overall ethos of body positivity and self love is wonderful here. It shows in the enthusiasm of the teachers, the non-judgemental environment, and even the way the studio is designed (no mirrors and dim lighting foster an environment to focus on yourself and the way your body feels through the…
I signed up for a full annual program and have been taking classes for a few weeks now (Level 1/2). This is NOT a dance studio, this is NOT a pole dancing school. This is a healing place for all women. I come here to reconnect with my sensuality, to feel my higher self, to love and accept my whole self.
This studio is actively changing my life as a woman. I came to the studio through a friend who shared with me that she was in an "erotic dance group for women". Little did I know when I arrived, it was pole dancing! I met with Kerry Anne for a private orientation and was open to the movement and my body LOVED IT.
I consider Wednesdays to be my sacred personal time. The middle of the week has historically been a challenge for me, but now I get to start it off with my class at Sisters in Motion.
Bachelorette & private parties at Sisters in Motion - S Factor Pole Dance & Embodiment Studio
Sisters in Motion - S Factor Pole Dance & Embodiment 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 Sisters in Motion - S Factor Pole Dance & Embodiment 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.
