No response, even though it seems as if that is their preferred method of contact. Second day reaching out, called and got hung up on. Second time calling, left s voicemail expressing interest. Finally got a call back and just saying...the young lady who answered didn't seem willing to assist me. Told me to download the app but if I'm calling to inquire about something...I should be helped no matter what "view" you have on your end...it's a business and all schedules should be readily available. All I will say is, it's a way to communicate with people. A certain tone, especially if someone is trying to support YOUR business. I really wanted to visit this studio but now I'm unsure due to the lack of communication and the lack of professionalism when I did finally get in contact. Kind of sucks but it's okay. Maybe one day I will visit and have a good experience

This place was amazing and I love pink, so the fact that everything was actually pink was a 10/10 for me! I loved the decor so much and everything was clean and well kept! They also have shoes you can rent for class if you don't have heels but we all had a pair. The instructor was very patient with us and gave us alternative moves to do since it was our first time! Next time we know that we need to book a regular beginner class and not a spin class because trying to spin around the pole and not knowing what we were doing was super hard but we definitely tried! We will definitely be trying again and coming back here because we enjoyed it and it was fun for all of us! I'd recommend this for a girls trip or for a birthday event as well and all of the staff was very nice

It made me feel so cute, sexy, and grown, especially celebrating my 22nd. The class was a little challenging at first, but I quickly got the hang of it. I will definitely be going back because it's such a fun workout. This experience really unlocked a new level of confidence in how I carry and take care of myself!

I went with a group of friends to the $10 Tuesday night for a beginners class. The class was not…read morebeginner friendly. It felt like I walked into a class that had started weeks ago and I was way behind. There was little instruction on how to do certain moves or twirling. It felt as if there was an assumption I had a background in dance even though this was supposed to be a beginners class. The instructor also was giving off a vibe like we shouldn't have been there and that we were annoying. She also had an attitude and made snarky remarks about our ability to catch onto the choreography. I thought the class was a fun experience to try but the environment was not very welcoming for people new to pole and people without a dance background.

I'm sure the fitness-conscious have been aware of the non-traditional work-out industry for a while…read morenow--the aim is to get people into an activity rather than simple weightlifting or working on machines. Yoga, tai chi, rock climbing--all of these activities involve a certain body awareness and require a basic level of core strength and fitness, and they're usually fun enough so you're never really thinking about sets and reps and muscle groups. Last night, I encountered one the toughest but most-enjoyable workouts when I went to the Circus Arts Institute. Located in a loft complex near Dekalb Ave, I joined a number of students (I was one amongst four beginner students, in particular) for a 90-minute session consisting of a pretty strenuous warm-up and cool-down as well as activities including tightrope walking, rope climbing, and trapeze. I would find myself both wired and tired after the session, the excitement and fun of what we did clashing with the unexpected amount of exertion required. Everyone here is all smiles and encouraging, eager to see you succeed in anything that you might try.

I'd been thinking about taking aerial lessons for three or four years, maybe longer - since before…read moreI got into burlesque. So, yeah, the circus classes aren't necessarily related to my tassel and glitter endeavors. (Maybe it was sparked by Yvette calling me Cirque de Sadie and suggesting it should be my stage name.) Whatever. Every few months, we'd be at an event and there'd be girls up on a trapeze or in the, um, circle-thing. "Freakin' amazing!" I would say to myself. "I can totally do that." I looked into it, and bookmarked the Circus Arts Institute web site. Then another year passed, until a few of us were talking about pole dance classes. I'd like to give that a try, too, but first I had to put up and give the trapeze a go. I enrolled in May for a 12-week session. Carrie Heller, who runs - and lives in - the Institute, is really fascinating. She encourages everyone to do cardio outside of class; she talks about diet and nutrition; she has a degree in physiology, I think, as well. In the first class, I climbed the Spanish Web (the rope), got up on the trapeze, and attempted walking the tight wire and juggling. Not so good with the juggling. Next class, I tried rings and loved it... got totally hooked. For my birthday this year, Bryant got our friends to contribute to a gift certificate for a second session. Some of them came to the last night of the first session, which was a sort of show-off day. I did a rings routine; nothing too hard, but it certainly demonstrated what I had learned over the first couple of months. Now, my second session is halfway complete. I'm going to have to re-allocate some funding to continue with it. Circus/aerial training is the crack - highly recommended crack.

The community is great with the other students as well. They're super supportive, and encouraging. Class wise: - if you get an opportunity to take SLAP with Ava, absolutely do it! Don't walk, run!! She is soo sweet and each class is like an adventure where we get to try new things and build off of previous things we've learned in class as well! It's never boring, and her music is on point! Also, the chair work, floor work, and gloves are chef's kiss! It was a challenge for me to really lean into my feminine energy, and she made it possible for me to do that! I adore her soo much, and I appreciate how comfortable she's made me feel. - if you see any spin classes with Jennifer that are open, run to register as well! She is extremely supportive, and I've been raving about her class and teaching style since I got in with her. She also focuses on some great stretches and body warm ups at the beginning of class to ensure that you're good and ready. - if you don't know of Red yet, you will! Run to her classes as well! I've been in her Bae'B Stripper series, and whew this class almost gave me a run for my money, but I look forward to every Monday with her and the girls! She's an amazing teacher, and I appreciate the energy she brings! She's gone put you to work, but you're gonna feel amazing after/during, and for sure sleep well lmao! And don't forget about her splits classes! I still have to attend more of those, but for the class that I did attend, those stretches were great!

I really appreciated how she switched up the dance moves and music each week; it kept things fresh and exciting, unlike some classes that stick to the same routine and song. Ava's knowledge and vibrant personality made each class feel unique. She introduced fun outfit themes and thoughtfully selected songs to match the mood of each session, which added a whole new layer of expression to the experience. She's fun, fun, fun!!! I can't wait to take another class with her!
