This year I was really liking forward to valentine's day to her one focused on pampering and self love. I always turned to dance as being a tool to not only shower yourself with love but also open up chakras. I invited some of my girl pals and had a very delightful lesson with the owner. She was very attentive to the group and made sure we all were able to achieve some pole tricks. She allowed us to choose the songs we wanted to dance for and made a nice sherbert champagne treat for our group which we all loved! I want to thank Laci from Fit4dance for sharing this venue with us. There aren't many pole dancing locations in new york and it was even cooler that the space was located in Brooklyn. read more

My friend celebrated her bday here this past weekend and it was so much fun. Even though I was kinda tipsy and disrupting our class with my nonsense, Val was very patient with me and let me do my thing while still being able to teach LOL I promise next time I'll behave. See you again soon. read more

Let me start by saying Vel is an amazing instructor! She makes the class comfortable. I am typically shy and easily discouraged but Vel has no problem when it comes to helping me, which makes me feel 100 times better. She never gets annoyed when you ask for help and has no problem finding alternative ways to explain things. I am definitely going back especially since it's black owned and her customer service is good! Anyone interested in doing pole, I suggest coming here. You don't learn a full routine on your first go round but you get the basics/ fundamentals and the conditioning needed. I enjoy it here!! read more

I had an amazing experience at a private pole party with Vel for my cousins bachelorette party! It was amazing from start to finish....I would highly recommend! read more

We came here for my sister in law's Birthday pole party and had soooo much fun! We came late and the instructor not only still taught us but also gave us a little extra time. She was very patient and didn't stop until all of us could do the routine to the very best of our abilities. It was very fun and I will definitely would be booking again read more

See all

I've never pole danced before, and was browsing around for several months before I committed to a studio. Vel is just so great -- patient, spirited, vibrant and sassy! She takes the time to help you with your form (which I have none) and encourages you to feel it and geT into it, no matter how insecure you feel. The classes are small and personal, and the other students are so warm and helpful too. Everyone helps each other out in one way or another, and I always leave the class feeling great and in high spirits! Absolutely LOVE this studio! read more

I had a great experience. I came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. We received champagne punch and goodie bags. The class was fun. Vel taught a routine that was sexy yet easy enough to follow. She made everyone very comfortable and encouraged everyone to do their best. I would definitely return for another class read more

My friend and I brought groupons and started attending the pole classes. I must say from the very first class it was a great experience and had so much fun. So much so that we have since continued our lessons here past the groupons. Even at full price the classes are priced very reasonably in comparison to other studios and they also have seasonal specials. The space is clean and the instructors are fun. I would highly recommend for any lady who has ever been interested or curious about pole dancing to give this studio a try. read more

Absolutely wonderful place to learn the art of pole dancing. In an effort to gain upper body strength and learn pole dancing, I found this establishment through yelp. They offer a great package for beginners and have very convenient times for all.. The location is small but there is more than enough space to practice your moves. I signed up for a three intro classes with Kheri and have had a great time; Kheri is a wonderful teacher who not only remains patient and helpful throughout the class but she creates amazing routines that are sexy yet graceful. Val along with the other staff and students also provide an encouraging, fun atmosphere as well. The lessons consists of a warm-up period, pole moves and a simple dance routine that summarizes what we just learned. I plan to continue my lessons here and would definitely recommend anyone to learn with them as well. read more

My co-worker and I were interested in attending a class at Brooklyn's Finest Pole Dancing Studio, but we had a few questions and concerns, so we decided to call first. We called the 855 number listed on the website several times and were met with an automated system. We selected to speak to a representative and were transferred to a non working number and the call disconnected. This happened every time we called. Not sure why... Needless to say, we are a little bummed that we aren't able to have this experience. Guess we will explore other options. read more

I had the pleasure of being invited to a private party at the studio. I was always interested in trying pole dancing out, but thought that it would be way too difficult. OMG! Vel was amazing! She is soooooo patient and really works with everyone. Our group had such an awesome time! Everyone made it on the pole! I am getting ready to plan my own party! read more

I've only gone once, but I loved this place. If our schedules weren't of conflict, I'd like to enroll in a monthly plan. The staff is very supportive! I love how the classes are intimate and that my teacher put in the time to criticize and build up everyone's form in the allotted time. Pole dancing is a must try and even better if it's Brooklyn's! read more

Vel is a great teacher I learned tricks within 3 weeks of attending pole twice a week

I just took my first dance class here last night. Although I was extremely nervous, the instructor was so helpful, patient and gracious in teaching the foundations of the art. She also made a few jokes in between routines to ease the air of nervousness that my friend and I (both beginners) were giving off. It made everyone in the room more comfortable and open to attempting the jumps/spins. I was so pleased with my experience at the end of my first class that I purchased three more classes on the spot. Honestly, if it's your first time, you should book the three class special because: 1. it's a really great deal 2. you're going to love the class and wish you bought more classes at discount :) Thank you, BFPD read more

I bought a groupon for 10 classes, I'm about halfway through my classes (sad it's almost over). Vel is a really good & patient teacher. I learned pretty quickly and am moving up to the beginner level. I've taken a pole dancing class before & all we did was spin on the pole for an hour. Vel actually teaches us routines with floor work, the classes have 10 people max so you get a personal touch. Overall it's been a really good experience. I highly recommend it & definitely arrive on time. read more

Have gone on and off over the past year for the ab/core class, haven't been disappointed yet, not a big space but clean, organized and they make the most of it. Highly recommend read more

This was a great birthday gift. The instructors were knowledable in ballet, modern and tradition dance. It was a delight

Brooklyn Pole has been amazing, and it's only been my 3rd week! Where do I start: After my first class my body felt like it got hit by a bus, but it was because I worked EVERY muscle in my body (even the ones I didn't even know I had). My teacher Nkenge is amazing, she is very patient with each student no matter if it's your first time or your 6th, and the atmosphere is welcoming and judge-free. There are about 6 poles and it is very intimate which helps with learning routines and the classes are small so each student can really exercise and build with each week. I can see myself getting addicted to this place already. read more

I attended an event here recently and I loved it!! The instructors were fun, professional and knowledgeable. I will happily be coming back. They even give you a sweet departing gift. I recommend this place for bday parties, bachelorette parties and similar events. FUN! read more

I took the Booty Pop class & had fun! The space itself is cozy which allows for individualized attention, the teacher & other students were friendly and the environment itself was comfortable. Recommended! read more

This place is the best! The teachers are all wonderful and classes are fun - I've learned so much in the past few months. It's a welcoming environment, highly recommended if pole is something you've been wanting to try and are a bit nervous like I was :) read more

What an incredibly sweet, welcoming space with high quality classes and instruction! I had fun, learned some new things, got a killer workout and felt right at home the whole time. They offer a nice diversity of classes (I took dance conditioning, pole and chair dance) that keep your pole game fresh and interesting. Great experience! I recommend for newbies and more seasoned polers alike. read more

I bought a special on Living Social for this studio: PROS: The classes are small and intimate; just the right size for individual instruction/coaching. The atmosphere helps with putting you in a sexy mood so you can do your best with the moves that are taught to you. The instructors are attentive and nothing short of AMAZING! No matter what class you take (there are also fitness classes in addition to the pole, chair, booty pop and burlesque classes), you are NEVER made to feel like you've taken on too much. Any size, any age can learn. You progress at your own level. The instructors are patient and make you feel comfortable which in turn helps your confidence level. The students encourage each other, which is another plus -- it starts to feel like family once you start attending on a steady basis. The studio is close to mass transit (several blocks from Eastern Parkway and in between the Kingston and Utica Avenue trains stops on the 3 train, as well as the B17, 43, 45 and 46 buses). CONS: Actually, there are none. I've been attending for a little over a year and it's one of the best experiences I've had! A sexy workout without the gawking from men (it's a women-only establishment). read more

I love this academy! Initially I got a 3 classes groupon. Their classes are categorized according to the experience level. It is an advantage since the class is synchronized and there is not shame if you have less/ more skills (or nothing at all!). Ambience is fun and teacher provides lots of motivation an personalized instruction. They are trained, skillful, patient and awesome. Tanya rocks! Lots of positive energy!. Classes are small. I have never shared a pole so far. Each session is different and you will learn an small routine... It is an enriching exercise for your body while being fun. I bought my set of classes once the groupon was over. Prices are affordable. I highly recommend this academy and definitely the pole experience! read more

Very excellent customer service and very professional. I started in September 2012 and it has been nothing but a positive experience. It's for all women of all ages and sizes which I think is amazing. It's fun and you learn pole dancing and chair using the proper technique. I have nothing but positive things to say about Vel and all the instructors there. I have also met a lot of women from all different backgrounds and professions, and I enjoy each and every one of them. I learnt so much very quickly and as Erin said below, Vel is extremely patient....love love love... read more

Really enjoy taking pole dancing classes here, the instructors are very through. Ensuring everyone is able to do or understand a move before moving on. One on one attention is given to each person. Excellent workout, feel the. Burn days later:)Highly recommend, I enjoy coming to classes weekly!!!! read more

I learned about the pole dancing classes from a friend and decided to look into what they might offer my age group. I am 60+ years and found that BFPD offers stretch and chair classes. With wonderment I decided to check it out. Wow! What a workout. I wasn't huffing and puffing, but I surely was extremely worked out. I've taken chair classes at the Senior Center, but I've had none to compare with Vel's sensitivity to the needs of seniors, where she modified movements and made sure I was comfortable at each level of activity. If not now, when will you get your body in shape? It's never too late to work it out. read more

Brooklyn's finest pole dance studios is one of the most energetic, fun filled and dynamic dance studios that i have ever been to. And best of all it's affordable. You can't beat these prices anywhere in the city. The instructor is knowledgeable, patient, and takes her time to show you not only the steps but she teaches you the fundamentals of what you are doing. this is best alternative to the gym. read more

Brooklyn's Finest is a great place to learn pole, hot seats, etc. The instructor is very patient and makes you feel completely comfortable. It doesn't matter your age, size, or shape you will feel all your sexiness shine through. I just went with some friends just for fun and 6 months later I am still hooked. read more

On 7/14/12, I had a bachelorette party for my cousin at BFDS and being the skeptic I am, I "dropped by" to checked out the place a week before the event. The owner, Vel, was very welcoming when I called to say "hey I'm in the neighborhood can I stop by in 15 minutes". I was pleasantly surprised by the neat and clean studio space and Vel's professionalism. We were a mixed group (30-50's year old) which I thought would be a challenge but Vel & Ashanti (her assistant) were amazing! The routines were challenging but simple enough to follow and more importantly it was VERY tasteful, sensual and classy. Vel seem to tailor the evening to our group. Almost everyone signed up for additional classes and everyone said it was the BEST bachelorette party they've attended. I knew the party was a success because I had people calling me on Sunday morning saying "girl, I heard the party was the boom, why wasn't I invited?". I want to thank Vel & Ashanti for preparing the Bride for her honeymoon and making the evening so memorable. Much Thanks! read more

I loved this place. When the cab pulled up to the house in which it is held, I was like, hang on..not sure... but there it is, a little studio in a mostly residential neighborhood. I went in and watched another class end. I was impressed. The teacher who taught my class, newbie pole basics, seemed to be a pro. All of us newbies were a liiitle bit shy when the teacher said, while waiting for the music to get to the part where we would start, 'just freestyle a little bit here," and began shaking her legs in a way we had all seen on music videos. The class wasn't really feelin that as far as trying out here right away. No biggie, just funny. It's actually really nice and rare to have an open atmosphere where you can walk around in bootie shorts with other women and shake your assets. The teacher taught us a step by step little routine and we had fun learning it. I was proud of what I could do and I think most people were surprised to learn both how much better you are than you would think and how winded you will get, quickly. Pole dancing is a real workout but one of the only ones where I'm actually excited to go to: it's fun. When I left I couldn't wait to get back. read more

I had a pole-dance party for friends at this studio. I did it for fun thinking it would be mindless swinging. Boy, was I wrong!! Vel proved that fitness is sexy and pole dancing is not only fun but it's a serious workout. I also like that the studio is clean and personal so I felt like I was getting Vel's full attention...which my arms regretted in the end because she made sure all of us gave our all in lifting ourselves onto the pole (harder than it looks!). You will definitely break a sweat. I'd also suggest the party package because the champagne was awesome!! I am coming back. read more

I've been pole dancing for about 4 weeks now. I can definitely see a difference in both my arms and legs. Aside from it being a great workout physically, it is also great for enhancing your inner sexy. As women we often work hard at home and on the job, and never have enough time for self. There is no better way to get in tune with the sexy lady within, while toning up your body. Velle is great at making you feel at ease as a beginner and the friendly environment helps you to relax. Each class we learn something new, so I always walk away with a feeling of accomplishment, a GREAT ego booster. Once you try pole dancing at Brooklyn's Finest, you will be addicted. read more

Bk's Finest Pole Dancing Studio is phenomenal! My first experience was a pole dance party for my birthday and all the girls had such a fabulous time. After my first time, I admit, I am hooked! Not only do you learn sexy pole and chair dancing techniques, but you are sure to work up a serious sweat as you tighten your core and strengthen your upper body. I like to take full advantage, so I also tried the Chisel Fitness classes. This was such an intense workout, and I felt great! The instructor Vel really makes sure that her clients take full advantage of her classes. There's no sitting on the side and watching, just b/c you can't follow her. Vel is patient and will modify a routine so that it works for you and your body. Just when you think you can't do it, Vel has your back and won't let you give up! Check out Brooklyn's Finest Pole Dancing and I guarantee, you will love it! read more

I have the worst coordination, flexibility, and upper body strength... but coming here on a weekly basis has truly strengthened all those skills and increased my confidence in my own strength and sexiness. Pole fitness is much harder than it looks, but you will leave each class with all of your muscles aching in all the right places! The instructors here are patient and persistent in terms of encouraging/pushing you to try new routines and moves that may be out of your comfort zone. The staff here is super friendly as well! More often than not, you'll get the individual attention from the instructor to grow as a poler, even in full classes. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is interested in trying pole fitness. read more

Excellent Excellent, we absolutely loved loved this place they were soooooo much fun. I highly recommend this place. Every instructor was phenomenal. Must go must experience! read more

I booked a last minute studio rental for my cousin's Bachelorette party at the Brooklyn's Finest Pole Dancing Studio this past weekend and I will say it was an EPIC BLAST!!!! The owner Vel was very patient working w/me while trying to organize the event in 4 days. Vel is not only the owner , she is the instructor and a very good one I might add. I've been pole dancing before; but she was the 1st instructor to really take her time to coach all of the girls and myself in assuring we had the right formation. When you hear "Pole Dance studio", Brooklyn (Crown Heights at that) is the last place you would think of; but this studio is Brooklyn's "Newest Best Kept Secret", which I am sure wont stay a secret for too long much longer especially with the way Ms. Vel runs her business BFPDS is sure to be a major HIT within a few months. I hope she is ready, because I am definitely gearing up to plan my birthday party at the studio in June!!! Best of Luck Mskiki79 read more
