From the reviews
My first time taking a class last night and I was so nervous but Danette was amazing! It was such a good workout and fun experience I can’t wait to go back!!!
I discovered this studio with the help of Classpass and my classmate friends. We all took the first intro class, which Danette then offered us a special to take the 3-intro series. She was accommodating with our schedules and took us in.
My time at Uplift Movement Awakening was an absolute need. Times have been clearly stressful lately and Uplift Movement Awakening was able to create an hour of paused from the stress and provide a workout without even knowing you got a workout in till the next day.
I set up a pole dancing class, through Danette, for my wife’s 30th birthday party and her four friends. They went in timid and came out laughing and praising each other with a new sense of confidence!
Bachelorette & private parties at Uplift Movement Awakening
Uplift Movement Awakening 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 Uplift Movement Awakening
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.
