From the reviews
best studio eva!!! Formed a bond with all the kids there. Training is excellent. I have improved so much at this studio.😌
Our daughter has been part of the Spartan Dance Center Competitive Team for nine seasons, and graduating from this amazing community is bittersweet for our family. Being with SDC all these years has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
This is a wonderful gem of a dance studio we are lucky to have locally! Classes offered for all levels! They have ninja classes too and while we haven’t tried that one yet the kids seem to love it! Everyone there is talented, kind and committed. My child is only 5 but has been there a couple years now.
As a first year member of Spartan Dance Center and a senior in high school who has danced for over ten years, I can honestly say that I am so happy to have joined this studio. From the very first step I took inside the studio, I was welcomed with open arms.
Your first pole class at Spartan Dance and Ninja
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.
