Spinning Sirens

Clothing: When attending a pole dancing class, it's essential to wear clothing that allows for ease of movement and facilitates proper grip on the pole. We recommend opting for attire that exposes some skin, as skin contact with the pole is crucial for grip during spins and tricks. Ideal options include 'booty' shorts, athletic skorts, or similarly minimal bottoms, paired with a tank top, sports bra, or crop top.

Jewelry: Additionally, we advise removing any jewelry before starting your session to prevent damage to the pole's surface and reduce the risk of injury or discomfort, such as blisters.

Hair: You may want to have long hair tied back if you are inverting. Prioritizing appropriate attire and grooming practices enhances both the safety and enjoyment of your pole dancing experience.

💧 Don't forget to bring a water bottle!

🧴 It's important to refrain from applying oils, lotions, or moisturizers before class, as these can create slippery surfaces on both your hands and legs, posing safety hazards during your practice.

Many pole dancers initially begin their practice barefoot before gradually incorporating heels into their routines. However, the decision to wear heels is entirely optional and based on personal preference. Our studio accommodates both barefoot and heel-wearing participants. If you choose to wear heels, we recommend opting for those specifically designed for pole dancing.

Wearing heels in pole dancing class can offer several benefits. The elevated platform of the shoes enables better grip higher on the pole, providing more space for swinging and executing tricks. Additionally, the weight of the shoes aids in transitioning between moves and elongating the legs in a flattering manner.

Absolutely! Assuming you are not posting other students (we ask that you check in with those around you in class first) we encourage you to capture your pole dancing journey through photos and videos. Feel free to document your progress and memorable moments during your sessions. Whether it's a stunning spin, a successful trick, or simply a fun practice session, we believe that sharing your experiences through visual media is a fantastic way to celebrate your achievements and inspire others. Don't hesitate to snap as many pictures and record as much footage as you'd like. And don't forget to tag your instructor on social media so she can join in on celebrating your accomplishments!

For the privacy and comfort of all participants, only students are allowed in the studio during classes. The only exception is for designated youth classes, where a parent or guardian may wait in the seating area. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone!

Private lessons are different! You're welcome to bring a support person along with you to your lesson. However, for safety reasons, we kindly ask that they remain seated during your session to avoid any accidental contact with moving bodies! While we appreciate your desire to involve a support person, we advise against bringing small children (under 8) to class, as the environment is not suitable for their safety.

Absolutely not! Pole dancing is for everyone, regardless of age. Age is not a barrier when it comes to taking care of your body and pursuing your fitness goals. It's inspiring to see individuals in their 70s thriving in pole dancing and showcasing their skills on social media platforms. Teenagers 14+ are also welcome to join most classes with parental consent required through a signed waiver. 

Whether you're a complete beginner or have some familiarity with the sport, there's always something new to learn and master. However, if you have any medical concerns, we recommend consulting with a health professional before starting your pole dancing journey to ensure it is suitable for you.

Your first pole dancing class promises to be an exciting and invigorating experience! Get ready to have fun while discovering the exhilarating challenges that pole dancing offers. Each session begins with a thorough warm-up to prepare your body for the movements ahead. You'll then receive step-by-step instruction on various pole techniques and tricks, with plenty of time provided for you to practice and refine your skills.

As you immerse yourself in your new pole journey, expect to engage muscles you may never have felt worked before—pole dancing is a full-body workout that combines strength conditioning, cardiovascular exercise, and sensual dance moves to leave you feeling empowered and confident. It's not uncommon for beginners to experience a few minor bruises as they familiarize themselves with the pole, but these are badges of progress and fade over time. After your first class, you may encounter a phenomenon known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which might leave you feeling a bit stiff or sore a day or two later. Rest assured, this is completely normal and a sign that your body is adapting to the new challenges. With regular practice, you'll soon notice improvements in strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.

Above all, your first class is an opportunity to discover the joy and excitement of pole dancing while embarking on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Get ready to wow yourself—and anyone you choose to share your newfound talent with!

The decision to purchase a pole is entirely up to you and your individual preferences. While it's not necessary to buy a pole right away, you may find that as you progress in your pole dancing journey, you'll benefit from supplementing your studio sessions with home practice.

If you're considering purchasing a pole, there are several factors to take into account. It's important to choose an apparatus that can safely be installed in your home and one that suits your needs and skill level. 

Nope! We love smaller class sizes for more personalized attention! For pole-specific classes (drop-ins, the Pole Fundamentals Series, or special workshops), class sizes are capped at 6 students to match the number of poles in the studio, ensuring each participant has their own pole to use. Similarly, aerial classes are limited to 4 students, matching the number of Lyra, silk slings, or flying poles available.

Exception: During open studio sessions, which are designed to bring the community together, there may be more students than poles or aerial gear available. These events have a more relaxed format, encouraging sharing and collaboration among participants.
