From the reviews

Nightshade Studio truly feels like my second home! I started my pole journey here almost two years ago, and although I’ve tried several other studios, this one remains my absolute favorite. All the instructors are fantastic, and their unique styles complement each other perfectly.

★★★★★ — Laura, Jul 2025

I believe that Studio Nightshade has quickly become the staple for low flow movement at a national level. I flew all the way from California twice already this year for 4-days intensives and both times the experience was worth the trip.

★★★★★ — Veronica, May 2024

I absolutely love the vibe and culture here!! It's very sensory friendly with the lighting. I am a newbie to pole and wanted to expand my dance experience and build body confidence along with upper body strength. The instructors are amazing and supportive.

★★★★★ — Kailin, Apr 2026

Loved the curriculum Sy was amazing at demonstrating how to do tricks and assisted every student in doing them she was very attentive to the class. Im excited to continue to come to this studio, ill definitely learn alot. Already going to book the Saturday class. My only wish is that I could take all the classes lol.

Your first pole class at Studio Nightshade Pole 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.
