Question 1

Where are you located and what are your hours?

Accepted Answer

We are located at 320 W 4th St., Cincinnati, OH 45202. Please check our online schedule for specific class times and studio hours.

Question 2

Do I need to be in shape or have dance experience to start?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Our classes are designed for all fitness levels and backgrounds. We offer foundational programs for absolute beginners.

Question 3

Who is welcome to register for classes?

Accepted Answer

All genders are welcome and celebrated at our studio. Our classes are inclusive spaces for adults (18+) of all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels.

Question 4

What should I wear to class?

Accepted Answer

For beginner classes, shorts and a tank top or t-shirt are ideal, as you need skin contact with the pole for grip. For more advanced classes, athletic shorts and a sports bra are common. We dance barefoot or in pleasers/heels if you are more experienced and they are appropriate for the class style.

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Please check the specific class description for a list of suggested items. In general, bring water and a positive attitude! We provide poles and mats. Optional items students often bring include their own grip aid and knee pads for floorwork.

Question 6

Can we bring or consume alcohol at the studio?

Accepted Answer

No. For the safety of all our students and instructors, alcohol is strictly prohibited on the premises. Drinking before or during a class is not allowed. Vaping or smoking is also not permitted inside the studio.

Question 7

What is your policy on photos and videos in class?

Accepted Answer

To protect the privacy and comfort of everyone, you may only take photos or videos of yourself. Recording or photographing other students, instructors, or the class as a whole is strictly prohibited without explicit, prior consent. We always save dedicated time at the end of class for you to safely record your own progress and combos.

Question 8

Are there any prohibited items in the studio?

Accepted Answer

For safety and to minimize distractions, we do not allow the use of smart glasses (like Meta glasses) during class. Please secure all personal belongings in the provided cubbies.

Question 9

Do we need to sign a waiver?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all participants will need to sign a waiver before participating in any pole dancing activities. This can be done upon arrival at the studio.

Question 10

What is your age policy?

Accepted Answer

All participants must be 18 years or older.

Question 11

What is your policy on late arrivals?

Accepted Answer

Please plan to arrive a few minutes before your class start time. Late arrivals may not be admitted at the instructor's discretion, especially if essential safety instructions or warm-ups have been missed. This policy is for your safety and to minimize disruption to the class.

Question 12

Where should I park for class?

Accepted Answer

There is ample paid on-street parking available around our studio. We are also near a paid parking lot; however, since the reopening of the First Financial Center (formerly Duke Energy Center), rates at this lot can be extremely high. We recommend allowing extra time to find and pay for parking to ensure you arrive for class on time.

Question 13

Do you have mirrors in the studio?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not have mirrors in our studio. We believe pole dance is about connecting with how your body feels, not how it looks. Dancing without mirrors allows you to be fully present, trust your own movement, and focus on your strength and sensations rather than your reflection. It's a liberating way to move and learn!

Question 14

Is there a place to change at the studio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have space available for students to quickly change before or after class. We recommend arriving a few minutes early if you need to change so you're ready to start on time.
