From the reviews
We had a bachelorette party today and had a wonderful time doing pole! Leading up to the event, Michelle was professional and prompt at replying to emails. The space was absolutely stunning. When we arrived, the lights and music really set the mood.
The Body Art Barn is a beautiful space built by the loving and hard working spirit of Michelle Dawson. Founder, mother, divine warrior, and artist designed this barn to be a sanctuary for those looking to enter a space to let go of tension and get to know themselves through the science and art of yoga.
What a wonderful space. It is extremely calming and allows you to concentrate on yourself and the reason why you came. The instructors allow you to practice at your own pace and are extremely encouraging.
This place is pure magic - from the second you walk in the doors, you know you have arrived someplace special & healing. I came here for a few retreats and enjoyed so much the little details from the rustic 200 year old barn floors lovingly hand painted to the apparatuses like aerial yoga hammocks and the henna…
Bachelorette & private parties at The Body Art Barn
The Body Art Barn 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 The Body Art Barn
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.
