I went for an intro class and Kenya lead a very fun and amazing class. She was very patient and made the first class unforgettable. I'm planning to get a membership especially now that I know about this place.

I took my first pole class Feb of 2024 here with Dez and have been coming ever since! Every instructor is kind, helpful, and fun. They each have their own special vibe and bring so much to every class.
