I have been taking pole lessons for a more than 6 months and it is been proven out to be a great decision. It is a mixture of both workout and dance with great teachers like Laura and Sophia and they are super fit, talented and incredible instructor. If they see any student lagging behind, they will give them individual attention and make them feel comfortable. It is very organized, clean, safe and at the same time fun. They have yoga sessions too which is also different from other places and has a unique edge. Overall it is a great environment to be in. For all dance lovers it is a must try and it’s more than dance. I would highly recommend it.

I was in Devin's 1/8 5:45 class and he was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and skilled in his craft. He explained all of the skills thoroughly and provided assurance and constructive criticism when appropriate. He facilitated a comfortable environment to experiment for ourselves while following his teachings.

I very much enjoyed the welcoming and judgement free environment. I've attending two Level 1 Pole classes with Laura and she is just electric. Such a supportive and energetic instructor who pushes her students. She encourages everyone to have fun, ask questions, and feel absolutely hot while learning. It's very much an empowering experience learning pole at Polarity!
I had so much fun attending classes this week with my friends. We all pushed ourselves to try something new and every one of us had a positive experience. The studio itself is very clean and cozy. The only thing I would change is that I think they deserve a bigger space to fit more students! However, the space they have now is in a great location, and is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Polarity for giving me the opportunity to try something I’ve always wanted to do!

TLDR: classes at polarity are fun and engaging, a great challenge, competitively priced, and taught by skilled instructors in a safe and supportive environment. If you're considering trying a class here, just do it!
A few months ago I tried out pole dance for the first time through one of the promotional classes offered and was immediately hooked. The pole classes are a great fitness challenge but are also very approachable for someone like myself with a low fitness background. After a few months of taking classes I've noticed myself getting a lot stronger and more flexible, and my self confidence has gone up with all of the support and encouragement I've received too.
Classes are taught by different levels and mostly not in a progressive manner- every class you work on something a little bit new and different or try to hone a familiar move, and after gaining certain skill sets and a comfort on the pole you progress levels. The instructors teach very dynamically, adjusting to the skill levels of participants present and giving options for progressions and ways to improve. They very often solicit feedback and suggestions for what participants want to work on each class as well. Many days we have the option to put the poles on spin mode (something not offered at all studios!) and are given suggestions for adjusting the things we learned for different desired effects. Also, while pole dance has a bit of a reputation for being a bit salacious, personal comfort is always a priority at polarity and many options are given for poses to look as tame or as daring as participants like.
I've taken classes with most of the instructors here now and while they all bring their own personality and style into class, every one of them has been incredibly kind and of course provided extremely knowledgeable instruction. The studio as a whole has fostered a wonderfully supportive and encouraging environment- lack of experience and clumsiness are never judged, but every little bit of progress is celebrated.
The classes are priced at a steal compared to other pole studios, especially with the class packages available. In addition there a number of workshops offered regularly that keep things new and exciting.
The studio is always very clean and well maintained, and safety measures are clearly well considered (safety mats are always available, especially when progressing into more challenging poses, doors locked during class-hence the late policy as well, and poles are very securely installed).

After years of thinking about it, and after attending a free demo class, I decided to register for a pole progressive class at Polarity. I was shocked by the affordability of the intro class, and the amount of class options available to fit different schedules, levels, and wants.
I've found myself feeling uncomfortable in other studio settings before, but at Polarity I've felt like I'm able to relax. I don't feel like I'm being too closely watched or criticized, while I'm still getting constructive technique tips and a great workout.
I hope to keep doing classes here after I'm done with this class pass! It's a wonderful active, restorative study break for the busy, overwhelmed student (me).
