From the reviews
I have taken classes here for years. It's a great environment to learn in for both beginners and advanced. Classes become like little families and the students and instructors are so supportive of one another. I love that there is encouragement both to play and explore artistically and to excel in your skills.
Really loved my time here. I had a Groupon that let me attend classes for about 1.5 months. I learned quite a bit but felt the instructor could have better divided her attention (seemed to focus more on giving feedback to people who have been going for longer or showed more talent/experience).
As a traveling professional that has done aerial classes in several cities across the country and at different aerial studios in Kansas City, I'd have to say this place is my absolute favorite. The owner Rachel is so highly knowledgeable about her craft and is very clear in her progressions and instructions.
I’ve been taking classes here on and off for about 6 months and very consistently this last month. Taking the jump to try out something like aerial can be super scary, but the staff at Voler really makes it attainable for every level.
Bachelorette & private parties at Voler - Thieves of Flight
Voler - Thieves of Flight 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 Voler - Thieves of Flight
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.
