What do I wear or bring?
For pole dancing you must wear shorts or yoga pants and a tank top/t-shirt. We highly recommend you wear short shorts if you want to take your pole dancing to the next level and learn how to climb and invert. You will find it is easier to perform moves on the pole with plenty of direct skin-to-pole contact. Long sleeves and/or pants will prevent you from having a good grip on the pole. Jewelry, especially rings, should not be worn. Please refrain from using body lotions and moisturizers as these can make the pole slippery and hard to work with. Bring a towel and water bottle because you will work up a sweat!
What if I have no upper body strength?
Many women who start pole dancing have no physical fitness background and you do not need one to learn the art of pole. Our warm up consists of exercises that will build strength and increase flexibility. All of our students have been able to learn pole tricks in their first class no matter their fitness level or size. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish your first day and you’ll feel so empowered to know you did it. Each week your strength will improve just like with any other workout program. So get ready to spin, climb and dance your way to fitness.
What if I’m shy?
Our instructors and students provide and very warm and supportive environment. We aren’t just a studio, we are a family. We have so much fun. We laugh, joke, play and have an amazing time. Sexy doesn’t have to be serious. It just has to be you letting go and enjoying yourself. Plus we have dimly lit classes when we need to set the mood 
Is there any risk of injury?
Like any other form of exercise there is always the risk of injury. You will move at your own pace. Safety will always be our first priority.
How can I get to your studio?
The studio is located at 9008 5th Avenue in Bayridge Brooklyn. You can take the R train to 86th street and walk 4 blocks. The B63, B1 and SI79 bus also stop near 86th street.
