From the reviews

I have attended TML classes for the past two years and have loved every second! TML continues to be the most affordable pole studios in the area! All of the instructors, including the owner have been amazing, encouraging and inviting.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Mar 2021

I enjoyed every bit of my birthday party with Nubia. She made us feel like we knew exactly what we were doing. She took us step by step in learning the different techniques. TML fitness is a must try and also Nubia is the best instructor there is. I recommend her to the fullest!

★★★★★ — Merkina, Mar 2021

I would like to first say that Never write reviews good or bad, but I had such a amazing time taking y 1st twerk/ pole dancing class with Nubia, she was so fun, helpful, kind, any nice word you can think of she is it and above. I was there with a group of co workers and we had a blast!

★★★★★ — Jessica, Feb 2021

Me and my Family attended a Pole dancing/Twerk session on last night and we had a blast. I have nothing negative to say about this place at all. GIGI was the best, her attitude and energy was everything plus more. She’s truly amazing!

Bachelorette & private parties at TML...Pole Dance, Twerk Classes, Parties & More

TML...Pole Dance, Twerk Classes, Parties & More comes up for private parties, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 TML...Pole Dance, Twerk Classes, Parties & More

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.
