From the reviews

I love this studio!!! The owner Michelle is amazing to work with, and it’s just a lovely fun comfortable environment to be in! I’ve hosted previous events here and it’s successful every time. Deff check out, they offer a variety of classes, so a little something for every gal.

Best fitness decision I have ever made!!! As a software engineer I can say that I personally love a challenge and specially problems I don't know the answer to! So pole dancing was perfect for me :). Every day in class I learn new tricks and then I have to work hard to get them just right!

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jun 2017

Michelle is not only a great instructor but has so great energy and does not make you feel uncomfortable!!! Definitely a 10/10!!! It was a group private party and it was such a great vibe. I learned how to spin, go upside down, and more great things!!

★★★★★ — Jaela, May 2026

Don’t miss this wonderful place. Michelle was fantastic! So energetic, natural and a great teacher. We were engaged the entire time and had the best time. Our room was set up special for our bachelorette. Can’t wait to come back for a class.

Bachelorette & private parties at Work It Dance and Fitness

Work It Dance and Fitness 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 Work It Dance and Fitness

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.
