If you've ever been curious about pole dancing but felt intimidated, this is the perfect place to start. The beginner series is a thoughtful introduction, the instructors are compassionate and knowledgeable, and the studio is always clean and welcoming. There are four poles, and while you sometimes share, it's part of the fun! You learn from each other, and the teachers keep everything safe and inclusive at every level. What makes this studio special is the way it builds not just strength, but confidence and connection to your femininity. I've been coming for 2.5 years and have been amazed at how capable I've become and how supported I feel. Jenny, the owner, keeps the curriculum fresh and there are monthly members-only workshops that deepen your practice and teach you the coolest moves. Personally, this studio has been life-changing. After a miscarriage, it gave me a safe place to heal, and years later I was able to celebrate my twin pregnancy here at my baby shower here! It's been a source of strength, joy, and empowerment through every season of my life. If you're on the fence, just try the 3 classes!!! It's not just fitness, it's community and a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself. read more

I absolutely love this studio ! I use to live nearby so I would come frequently. I moved 30 min away and just recently started doing some open workouts to practice. I've tried studios other than inversion but the vibe just isn't the same as here. The girls and atmosphere are immaculate. I've never felt so comfortable and confident to just be myself. I'm never scared to try new things here. The staff is professional, energetic, and motivating. They dim the lights upon request during open workouts and often let you choose your own music. If you're looking for a fun hobby then this is it ! Plus my body has never felt stronger ! Thanks to everyone that works here ! read more

I became obsessed with going to pole class because of this studio. The instructors here are so fun and very knowledgeable about pole dance. I always learn something new when I come into their class and look forward to coming here everytime. The studio is really clean and students here are friendly! read more

Loved it! Always wanted to try but nervous. I was lucky enough to have a friend signup and we did the 3 week/class intro to pole classes. Jenny is a great instructor. She was very patient, helpful, and would always demonstrate or answer any questions. This is for sure a workout! Which i love but also the confidence that i would feel doing some movements. So worth it no regrets at all! read more

Teachers Bee, Jen & Cat are great. I took a Level 2 tricks class, flexy tricks class and a poleography. Love the dark, vampire ish theme of this studio. Cons: only a few poles in a smaller space. (Probably the smallest studio I've ever trained at) Would be more of a regular student if I lived closer. read more

Noticed this was in my drafts, it's been a while since I've gone but it was such a good experience! The instructors were very sweet and friendly. Hoping I can come visit soon! read more

Inversion is the best studio ever! Every instructor is seriously amazing & so helpful. It truly has the most judgement-free, encouraging, and lovely energy. This is my happy place! read more

I joined the intro to pole series & it was a 10/10 experience! I'm sad to be ending the series but, excited to make time to come back. I don't live in Brea, but I do plan on setting time & money aside to continue coming here for pole, dance & more. I liked the vibe of the studio immediately. I talked to Jenny the owner on the phone and she was very sweet. Thanks to Brenna for helping me loosen up more! I loved her as an instructor. She made the 3 weekends comfortable & super fun for me! Can't wait to join one of her classes in near future. read more

i've been taking classes since march and have done the level 1 trick inferno and foundations level 2 classes. both have been amazing. trammy, jo, and cat are all incredible instructors who are so encouraging, patient, and fun to learn from. the studio itself is clean, welcoming, and has such a great vibe. highly recommend to anyone curious about pole or looking for a fun, empowering workout! read more

Inversion is the first pole studio I experienced and I always check the class schedule to see which class I can take. I love their studio aesthetic and I love to attend their events where I get to meet and celebrate other dancers in the community. Taking Shelbee's classes really helped me in my first year to condition for aerial pole, Jenny's heels flow is sexy and helped me with my confidence, I loved floorwork with Luna, and Brenna is amazing a beautiful soul and someone who brings so much fun to pole. read more

This review is long coming because I have been going to Inversion for years now. Inversion has been a supportive place to learn, has great instructors, and has an amazing vibe. I love the gothic aesthetic and overall feel of the studio. There are four total pole and class sizes are maximum 8 people. Class sizes being smaller is great for me because it makes pole feel more approachable and more individualized if you're struggling with any moves. The instructors are very kind and want to see you reach your pole goals. The instructors all come from a range of different pole backgrounds and I recommend taking one of every class if you get the chance (once you get past your lvl 1 classes). Jenny (the studio owner) is also fantastic and responsive to any questions you may have and has been so flexible and wonderful with me. She responds to emails or texts so promptly. So if you're thinking about trying pole, do it, and give this studio a try. read more

I'm new to pole dancing and so far I've taken two classes, one with Jo and one with Cat. They're both amazing and patient teachers and make it fun and rewarding! The environment is very welcoming and encouraging, and I'm excited to attend more classes. I recently purchased the 5 class package because I have faith that I'll continue to enjoy myself and gain more confidence in pole dancing, thanks to the incredible staff and kind classmates :) read more

It's been a few years now since I have attended this studio. I'm writing this review specifically for an instructor that gave me the best work out I've had In a long time. I had an amazing experience. A few things... I really appreciate that the studio provides yoga mats and it's such a pristine space. Kate I have taken for climbs inverts, tricks, and also flexibility training. She has a great teaching style and teaching voice. Her combo of warming up and conditioning gets you where you to be. It's about a 15 min or so warm up/conditioning (bring water). Pole classes w her she will always spot you and guide you and/or give modifications. She is stunning to watch in the air. But it's her flexibility training classes that I love so much. I've taken many flex training classes at different places too... but she is my absolute favorite hence this raving review. She takes you on a journey of warming up and stretching and strength training... tells you to make minor adjustments verbally and also goes around to make minor improvements just by a few touches to the body so you have good form. I appreciate that. Last nights stretch class I couldn't have been happier w that full body work out. A few years ago I took her flex training class and she got me into my side splits with in one class. Everyone's body is different so please don't expect the same results. Remember to have fun and try all the classes and instructors because they all have something different to offer! It's such a safe space and I know it can be awkward and nerve wrecking to go into a new environment. The students and instructors really know how to make you feel welcomed without any judgement. Have fun! read more

This place became my home when I was starting my weight loss journey. Little did I know it would also be the place that gave me strength to see myself in a different light than I had before. All the instructors care and I've seen a student rise up to become an instructor who now teaches me as I recently started going back after a hiatus. Don't be scared to try it!! There's so many different classes and teachers to choose from, and so many things you will learn. I love the reward system because it can come in a clutch whenever you need dry hands for the pole :) All in all, if you're just thinking of trying one class, be ready to fall in love with the classes, the instructors, and the supportive atmosphere that makes me call this business my second family. read more

I've played around with pole a few times but had never taken an actual class. I was super nervous to go, but immediately felt welcomed and at ease with Trammy and the other students. The space was clean and organized, the cueing was great and the support of everyone encouraging. I will definitely be back :) read more

Just do it!! I've been wanting to try pole classes for years but was too intimidated. I'm a curvy girlie who never goes to the gym. Ever! Anyway, I finally pulled the trigger when a couple friends of mine decided to join me. I'm hooked!! I'm amazed at what my body can do now in just 2 months of classes! I'm confident, losing a little weight and just overall feel happier!! The instructors are so patient and kind. I've loved every single one of them and their unique teaching style. They always take the time to make sure I got the moves correctly! Come have fun with us! You'll love it! read more

Inversion Dance Studios - Having fun swinging on my 3rd class! - Dance Studios Near Me - Brea, California

Inversion is an amazing boutique studio with that sultry and Dark aesthetic. People might be intimidated at first glance, but you'll find all the instructors warm, inviting and accepting. I've been to previous pole studios before but this was the first one where I was able to perform an invert without assistance. There's something about the smaller classes that help give you the attention you need! Love this studio and trying to double up on classes. read more

I've been coming here for over a year and I love it :) I always have a positive experience, everyone is really friendly and all the instructors are amazing! The instructors are all great at explaining and will take the time to explain something if it doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed and exercise, but every time I attend a class at inversion I am glad I went! I always leave feeling happy and motivated to do more things! I highly recommend to try inversion even if it is out of your comfort zone, you will not regret it! :) read more

I have always wanted to try pole dancing classes but was always shy about signing up. I saw that Inversion Dance Studio was offering 3 class beginners course and decided to join. I'm so glad I did. The studio is intimate, beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean and organized, and has the best ambiance. The instructor, Jenny, walked us through warm-ups and then started instruction. We learned several elements of pole. As we practiced, she walked around watching each of us and providing one-on-one feedback and support. I really enjoyed my time and can't wait for the next 2 classes. Don't hesitate - just sign up! You'll love it. read more

I was very excited and pretty nervous to start my pole journey, but the staff at this studio have been absolutely welcoming and super kind. The studio itself is pretty small, but it makes for a more intimate classroom environment, with lots of help from the instructors! I have only taken a few classes thus far, but I am looking forward to returning and trying out all of the different beginner's classes that Inversion has to offer. I also tend to avoid trying new things by myself, but coming to Inversion feels so comfortable that I didn't even hesitate to book my next class after attending my first! read more

We went for my bachelorette party... we had such an AMAZING time! We had Brenna, she was amazing!! I can't speak any more highly of her. She made us all comfortable and had an amazing time!! Absolutely recommend this place!! read more

I've had a couple of motorcycle accidents, and some back pain has accompanied them. I've found that strengthening my core really helps with the pain in the disc and in the muscles. InversionDance has helped me SOOO much. I've learned a lot here. Not only is it helpful, but it is also very, very, fun. I highly recommend pole fitness at Inversion! read more

I highly recommend trying a pole class at Inversion Dance Studios. They offer an intro to pole series which is great for beginners that want to get started and learn the basics. Jenny (who is the founder and also instructed the intro series) is amazing! She does a great job coaching students through the movements and guides you through each step. She also does accommodations for those that may have an existing injury. The studio is very clean and has a great aesthetic. read more

Inversion Dance Studios - Dance Studios Near Me - Brea, California

Just an update, after attending classes here for a year, I am still so in love with this studio. It's the highlight of my week! I have gained so much strength, mobility, and confidence in a year. The staff here are so knowledgeable and supportive, and it's amazing looking back on videos from when I started to where I am now and how much I have learned and progressed! Inversion is my happy place! read more

After trying pole classes at multiple pole studios throughout Orange County, I consider Inversion my home base. They are a smaller and more intimate studio, but I love it for that reason! I have never had an issue with parking. Jenny and the instructors are always early or on time to class, and I truly appreciate that because one hour definitely goes by fast! They are ready and energetic! I feel that even in a full class, I get enough instruction and attention from the instructors. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging toward each other which is great especially when you're just starting out! On top of providing A+ service, I wanted to comment on the quality of instruction. Each instructor is a little different but all are fabulous! Kristen gives great verbal instruction, visual demonstration and tips to help you perfect moves and transitions. Ashlie is also great at visual demonstration, tactile cuing, and shows you variations in moves for more flair/personal touch. Shari is so sweet and caring; she will definitely take the time and walk you through moves that are hard to understand at first. I have taken one class with Jenny (the owner), and her understanding of pole in combination with human movement made a huge impact on my practice! I have been going to pole at Inversion for about 5 months now and I am so happy with my progress!My background in sports set me up with the strength to achieve certain moves, but pole is very much about being comfortable in your own skin to be sexy AND strong. Totally different from what I was trained in but so worthwhile in terms of gaining new strength, fitness, and sense of self. I definitely wouldn't have been able to feel this comfortable in my own skin without the environment and people that give this place so much love. I highly recommend them to anyone (new comers or experienced)! read more

Inversion Dance Studios - Recently accomplished my outside leg hang!! Woo! - Dance Studios Near Me - Brea, California

Pole dancing is something that I have always wanted to try for a long time and I finally decided to pursue it. Upon arriving, I was really nervous because I was not sure what to expect. The instruction taught is awesome and organized. The class starts with stretching, then conditioning, and finally the fun moves! It makes the class very cohesive and it allows for optimal performance. Kristen is an excellent instructor. She is very skilled and knowledgeable. She explained and demonstrated the moves in a very clear manner that I was able to understand as a newbie. I appreciate the fact that the classes are small so that close attention and constructive feedback are easily available. I had some difficulty with climbing the pole but Kristen helped me and explained it more so that I was able to gain a better grasp! I like the fact that she also celebrates the little victories and is always so encouraging! Her attitude and energy make you feel motivated to try your best! Jenny has also been very helpful through communication! I reached out to her to gain a better understanding of what the studio was about and I am not disappointed at all! She was also very helpful when it came to issues with my class pass and rescheduling. Such great customer service! I have not met her yet; but through communication, she sounds extremely optimistic and passionate! I truly recommend anyone to give Inversion a try! The small intimate space makes it conducive to learning pole and to gain new friends! read more

This studio is absolutely adorable ! The instructors are super nice and definitely know what they're doing. They make you feel comfortable and they really take their time to help you achieve your needs. The studio itself is pretty small but the amount of classes they do and they amount of time they work with you is pretty amazing ! My instructor Jenny was so nice and reassuring during this journey ! read more

I love everything about this place! The location is situated in an area with very little traffic and parking is a breeze. Jenny has been amazing from start to finish. I have wanted to take a pole dancing class for over a year now and i'm glad i finally did! I took the first class with Mollie and she is an absolute GEM! She was so patient with us and perfectly choreographed a dance that was simple yet super sexy and fun! She was thorough and make us feel so comfortable the entire class. I have to say i felt awkward and weird at first but by the end of class i was totally feeling myself (literally). I took the beginner foundations class with Shelbee which felt a little fast paced and advanced for me but was still fun. i have a class with jenny in a few days and i can't wait for it! I one thousand percent recommended this studio to anyone who is curious about pole dancing. You will not regret it! read more

As a straight guy wanting to give pole dancing a try, I had no idea where to start or if I would really be welcome as it is of course a more woman dominated skill. I was honestly nervous and a little scared walking into my first beginner class, not really sure what to expect, and having no prior experience or knowledge about anything to really do with pole dancing. All of that was put to rest after my first few classes, as all the instructors and students I met made me feel welcome and comfortable doing something outside of my comfort zone. Everyone is so nice and encouraging, supporting and cheering one another on whenever a new trick or move was learned, making it a really pleasant studio and community to learn and practice. I have gained a lot more confidence in my ability and skills on the pole thanks to all of that and the great and insightful instructors they have here. I would recommend this studio to any guy or girl looking to get into pole dancing! read more

Inversion Dance Studios - Brass Monkey - Dance Studios Near Me - Brea, California

I really love the studio! All the instructors are very skillful, very prepared, and knows how to teach. Came here to try out their classes on the new student special rate. Jenny welcomed me to my very first class and was very nice and helpful. I really love her exotic dance choreography classes. I also took some of the flow and pull dance classes with several the other instructors and every one of them was amazing! Each one of them always was very prepared for class and they came to class with a curriculum, and new things they were gonna teach the class each time. It was very interesting and I learned something new every time. I really love the professionalism of the instructors. I really love that they had a variety of different types of classes and skill levels so that there's something for everyone and they cater to each person's different interests. I generally prefer the sexy solo choreography, and pole dance classes instead of being super difficult clients inversions and difficult poses. And I found that the studio has a huge variety of offerings for me. On the contrary if a person is really into the climbs and difficult poses, there are plenty of options for them too. The studio is probably one of the smallest I've been to, only 6 poles in total. Some of the week night classes does get pretty filled up so plan ahead. Overall I definitely enjoyed the classes here I learned a lot. read more

If you've ever wanted to unleash your inner sex kitten and master the art of pole dancing, then this is the place for you! I've been curious about pole dancing and I've always wondered what it would be like to attempt this. First of all, this is NOT easy and it requires a lot of upper body strength. I pulled muscles in my arms and thigh during my first class but I was determined to follow through with this adventure. I never thought that this was easy and honestly, it's more challenging than it looks. I don't have a background in dance/ballet so at times, things were awkward. Pelvic thrusts come naturally as you work the pole. However, spinning and climbing are require balance and upper body strength. Our instructor was patient and was able to assist me when I lacked confidence. Women in this class are very supportive and no one makes you feel inadequate. Some ladies had more experience and seemed effortless while others, including myself are still becoming more comfortable with this new experience. Some of us chose to go barefoot while other ladies wore stripper heels. Women in here ooze confidence and really embrace the pole. I was relieved to see that men aren't in the class to observe. There is a large wall that offers privacy from prying eyes as people walk past this facility. The poles are located on the other side of the wall! Whew! I can say that I've finally found a hobby that challenges me more than anything that I've done in the past. I may have bruises and strained muscles but I'm determined to follow through with this sport! read more

Highly highly recommend!! Classes are small enough that instructors are attentive to each student, but aren't awkward. Inversion dance studio is more than just a place to workout or learn to dance. It's a special place where Jenny and her team create to make everyone feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to step out of their comfort zone. I started my very first pole class last year and purchased a membership recently. read more

I have been here for about two years now. I really like the studio and instructors. A lot of options to choose from choreography to trick. Definitely fun and challenging yourself to the next level! read more

Okay so I waited till after my 3rd class to post a review because I wanted to think about how to review Inversion and how I felt about endorsing it. This is a great studio for a kick ass (literally) workout. I've always wanted to take pole classes to get in better shape but was terrified. I'm not a stick figure, I'm definitely not flexible, and I have zero background in dance. So why would I recommend this place or any pole class? Well that's easy. It's fun, the instructors are patient, and I survived. If you have wanted to try this is a great place to give it a chance. The beginning classes are set up to push you in the best way possible while still having a great workout and in a fun creative way. Currently there is a new member offer for 3 classes for $49. It's a great chance to come out and try it. read more

I enjoy coming to pole whenever I have the chance. It has given me the opportunity to get in touch with my femininity and find out I enjoy movement (dancing). The instructors are all unique and bring different types of pole dancing to the studio. I have been doing pole for about 8 months now and I never thought I would have committed to it for this long. I definitely would recommend this studio :) read more
