From the reviews

I have been taking classes with The Dollhouse for about 7 months. I remember my first class with Taylor Bartram. She asked us to move around the pole in a way that felt sexy in our body. I proceeded to stomp around the pole like a little pony feeling uncomfortable and disconnected from anything sexy or feminine.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Sep 2021

I've spent a year in total with the dolls and the only regret I have is I wish I started when I was 20 years old, NOT 50! Omg! It's the best workout for your mind, body and soul. Soul because you're COMPLETELY supported with this community of students and teachers.

★★★★★ — Clarity, Nov 2021

Just do it already! You want to feel strong, graceful, and beautiful in a safe and welcoming environment. This is it! Yes, even a guy can come here and have a wonderful experience. The teachers are exceptional and accommodating to all types of bodies and levels. You won't regret it!

★★★★★ — Nathan, Mar 2019

Probably one of the best decisions I ever made was starting pole here at Dollhouse!! The studio has such a friendly and uplifting atmosphere. Love coming here to dance my heart (and clothes) away and to have a sexy af workout :)

Bachelorette & private parties at The Dollhouse Fitness

The Dollhouse Fitness 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 Dollhouse Fitness

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.
