  • I love Pole Palace!! Instructors are patient, inclusive, and friendly. It’s intimidating to try a new thing but now I’m excited to keep learning. A fun way to workout as well.

Is there an age limit?

All students must be 18 or older. We don't have any sort of upper age limit. We have people in their 40s and 50s training with us!

I have zero upper body strength! Do i need to be strong to come to class?

You come to class to get strong as well as to gain flexibility and confidence in your body! You don't need to have any sort of strength, skill or dance background when you start. We'll teach you!

Help! What do i wear?

To fully enjoy your pole experience, please wear athletic pole/yoga shorts that are tight fitting and sufficiently cover private areas. We also sell some sweet Mika Yogawear at the studio, if you forget yours. We recommend wearing layers and bringing knee pads, if you have sensitive knees.

Are your classes only open to women?

No - our studio has always been open to everyone, regardless of gender, sex, sexual orientation, color, ethnicity. We believe pole dancing is for everybody and Every Body. Our community is rich with people of all identities and backgrounds - we’d love for you to join us.
