From the reviews
I love this studio, the people instructing the classes, and the friends I’ve met because of taking classes here. The instructors are amazing women who will help modify things if need be, but will also be willing to push you if they see you are up for the challenge.
I am a beginning/intermediate-ish pole dancer from Ottawa Ohio. Summit City Pole, their instruction/instructors, and the students that come here are worth my travel time to Fort Wayne!
Danielle is an amazing person and instructor. She is always helping others grow in their own way. There is so much info and thought put into her class content as well as safety (both physically and mentally) as top priority.
The instructors at this studio really care about the people learning here and it shows! It’s so much fun to be in class. I started out with minimal knowledge of tricks and such and within a short amount of time I was able to see how much I improved. I’m really happy I took the step to join.
Bachelorette & private parties at Summit City Pole
Summit City Pole 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 Summit City Pole
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.
