From the reviews

Disclaimer: I have known the owner for many years, but I wouldn’t post a good review unless I meant it. This studio is a super positive, encouraging and drama-free space. I have taken pole, fitness classes and workshops here. All of the instructors are amazing.

I love this studio! The pole dancing class is both fun and a great workout. Every class I attend makes me feel great about myself--I am more comfortable in my skin and trust my body in a way I never have before. All 3 pole dancing instructors bring their own flavor of teaching and are uber supportive/encouraging.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Dec 2022

I took a class here when I was visiting from out of town and was welcomed with open arms! The studio and staff are so lovely and I had a great time learning from a new instructor. It's a little difficult to discern what level you're at but a simple call to the front desk cleared that right up.

★★★★★ — Clara, Aug 2018

WOW! So let me tell you something about Studio Phoenix... They are so great at teaching someone who has two left feet on how to twirl and do a semblance of a wonderful dance routine. The staff there is really encouraging and friendly, and will really work with you to meet you where you are at fitness wise.

Your first pole class at Studio Phoenix, Inc.

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.
