From the reviews
While participating in classes, performances and camps with Springfield Dance Carsen has developed a love for dance and an appreciation for a variety of arts and to trust her creative side and go with her instincts. This has carried over in all parts of her life and helps her find her way on "her" path!
Springfield dance came highly recommended from neighbors and friends in the community. My two children at the school, have never taken lessons before, and Springfield Dance has been a wonderful experience.
We have been a part of the Springfield Dance family for 5 years, and have had so many wonderful experiences! Not only have my daughters learned to dance, but they have also learned about responsibility by being given the chance to help teach younger dancers and have had the opportunity to develop many friendships.
My daughter has been attending Springfield Dance since she was just shy of 2 years old and she has loved every minute of it! I love that she has so many options for classes and that the end of the season recitals are less than an hour long! Yahoo!
Bachelorette & private parties at Springfield Dance
Springfield Dance 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 Springfield 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.
