From the reviews
Finished up my very first Pole 101 class at the end of March. Can I just say WOW!!! I came away with a HUGE sense of accomplishment and dare I say, a new level of self-acceptance. Nicole is a phenomenal teacher, very clearly knowledgeable and comfortable guiding people through beginner moves and beyond.
I had no idea when I took my first class how much I would fall in love! If you're thinking of trying pole, I can't recommend the Gem enough! Nicole is an amazing instructor and a rad person. The vibe at the studio is always so supportive and encouraging.
I LOVE THIS STUDIO. So loving and creates a safe space. The girls are amazing and supportive. And Nicole is so kind and just has golden retriever vibes! And the knowledge of everything she knows is SO valuable. I wish I started here first. But no matter what I'm grateful I found it now.
for the love of everything that is holy…GO TO THE GEM! i was nervous about my first pole class at a new studio, but i was instantly welcomed and made new friends immediately. the owner has created an inclusive environment where body positivity is a top priority…as is FUN. i loved every second of my class here.
Your first pole class at The Gem Pole Dance Studio
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.
