From the reviews
I took some beginner classes with Roxie and it was so fun. The vibe is chill and supportive, and instruction was well paced. You build upon the skills you learn each class and start to combine them together over time. Something I especially enjoyed was the stretching before and after the pole activities.
Yesterday I had my first Introduction to Pole class and it was AMAZING! Winnie was an incredible instructor, very kind and encouraging and created a positive environment for everyone! We learned some basic pole tricks and it was a great workout!
Took five classes with this studio/company and really enjpyed all of the teachers I've worked with. They are very friendly and welcoming. I was taking 1 Hour Fundamental Pole Tricks, and each class I've learned something different. I love the recurring class on sunday mornings with Alli Braun.
I took my first intro to pole with Winnie and everything about my experience was amazing!! I had the best time and she made everyone feel so comfortable. I learned so much and Winnie really took her time to help everyone that needed it. I’ve been recommending this place to everyone I know!
Bachelorette & private parties at The Brass Ring
The Brass Ring 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 Brass Ring
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.
