From the reviews
Vixen Dance is lifechanging. My physical fitness and mental health has never been better. The incredible instructors each bring their own unique flairs to the classwork, and in every class I feel encouraged, empowered, and cared for.
I'm so glad Vixen is back in Ypsi! The instructors are all super friendly and welcoming. Workshops with the owner Danielle are AMAZING. I leave every class feeling stronger and sexier! Thank you Vixens!!
I love the structured routine from warm up to cool down and learning a dance sequence each session especially getting to put it all together at the end for a “final dance" where the beautiful stage lighting and music comes on and we can freestyle or capture a video of the choreo we learned.
By far the best studio in the area! The instructors are amazing, knowledgable, and teach skills safely. I joined after a multi-year pole break and was nervous after some experiences at other local studios and the fact that I'm much older than a typical college student.
Bachelorette & private parties at Vixen Dance
Vixen Dance 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 Vixen Dance
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.
