I just want to share my gratitude for this studio. After having experiences at other studios where…read morethe business ethics honestly weren't great, it's incredibly refreshing to come somewhere that truly cares about their clients. I can't say enough good things about this place. In my opinion, it's one of the best studios in LA. The instructors are amazing, and the management and staff are genuinely kind, professional, and supportive. One thing I really appreciate is how clean the studio is. They ask everyone to remove their shoes at the door, which shows how much they respect the space and the dancers. I've been to studios where people walk around in regular shoes on floors you're expected to dance on, and it just doesn't feel right. Here, you can tell they take pride in keeping the environment clean and safe. You can truly feel the difference when a studio values the people walking through their doors. It makes me want to keep coming back every time.

I really did want to like this place. I've taken several classes and done several "open pole"…read moresessions after deciding to do the lowest tier membership that they offer that includes the unlimited open pole. I am someone who is brand new to the pole world but very motivated in trying to engulf myself in the sport. I come from a bodybuilding background where I found that the community was always very supportive and encouraging. There is zero community here. Everyone seems to walk in, and then pretty much run out of each class. Open pole is full of women of different levels of expertise, but there is an unusual sense of judgement that is impossible to shake if you're new. I don't come from a choreo background, so maybe that's where I'm falling short in the classes. I found myself to get very flustered quickly and didn't feel a lot of patience or encouragement from the instructors, for myself or for others. It seemed like the goal was always to get to the end of what the choreo is supposed to be, so you can use the remaining 3 mins of class to scramble trying to remember everything and practice while the instructor gets lost in themselves flawlessly going through the choreo that everyone else was still very much struggling with... and then that's it! Class ends. After leaving 2 classes in tears because I felt so defeated, I decided to pay more money to get private lessons elsewhere and THAT is where I fell back in love. I am now looking at just buying a pole for my apartment so I can practice at home in peace. Really sad that this didn't end up being the place I thought it was going to be, I feel like pole is a truly beautiful art form and having it be such a woman dominating sport, I guess I was hoping for some more love to the newbies.

This is a great dance studio I'm sure. But I came for the infrared sauna. And let me tell you, this…read moreis probably the best infrared sauna studio I've ever been to. And I've been too many of them. What makes this one special is the attention to detail and the very personal customer service. The studio is extremely clean, I mean, impeccably. All of the towels smell fresh, all of the floors are freshly polished. Everything smells delightful. The sauna is top notch. It has a large infrared light bar, but it also has very strong, infrared light around the sauna otherwise, and on the ceiling of the sauna as well. and this one, you are also able to adjust it to other types of light such as blue, green, Amber, etc.You are also to control your own levels of heat. There is a television with prepaid Amazon prime channels. The Bluetooth speaker inside the sauna is loud and crisp, and of course you can control the levels and channels with the remote. The gentleman who helped me is named Ken. He gave me a nice tour of the studio upon arrival, and then showed me how to operate everything. He was extremely helpful and kind.Another nice thing is this sauna is very large. I was literally able to stretch out and recline. I think this will be my go to infrared sauna spot.

The minute I walked in a man told me that the class was…read morecanceled and then he made me sign a waiver, and then they squeezed me in the class, but why even ruined the vibe by saying the classes is canceled and it doesn't make much sense I guess they just cancel classes if their members book all the spots? It doesn't really make sense but OK, already vibe ruined but i took the aerial 1 class. The man followed me around asking where i got my yoga mat and even when i was leaving asked if i am taking my yoga mat and where it is etc- very annoying, bizarre and frankly off putting as hell. he was anything but welcoming so i suggest you remove him from whatever he's doing in the front. never want to come back. apparently you have to pay for rental yoga mat. But even before I get to the class, the entry entryway and the vibe of the whole place is off because it's so worn out. i'm scared the fabric will fall off the hook and it's extremely smelly and overall unstable and worn out looking- not sure if i can trust the hanging to support me but that's the attorney in me talking. everything i see seems like a liability, especially their old hooks and the way the instructor walks around with a huge ladder in a crowded class. Next the class itself- instructor spent majority of the time making us stretch and adjusting our fabric. it was such a waste of time. don't do it if you're trying to get a workout in.

This place is hands down the best place to go if you want to increase your flexibility or…read morestrengthen a muscle you've previously injured. One of the very few professional stretching/contortion classes available in the LA area. If you want to get more flexible, these instructors know how to safely build up those muscles so that you can actively and correctly increase your body's mobility and range of movement. The best part is that you don't have to start off being flexible at all. They work with your body to adjust and modify exercises so that you're still working out the intended muscle group. You never need to bring your own mat, resistance bands, nor yoga strap because they provide everything for you. Their equipment is always clean because they provide spray bottles and handcloths for you to wipe everything down at the end. Even though their physical location is temporarily closed due to the "Safer at Home" order, they're still streaming online group classes through Zoom for only $8.99! I've been taking their "Intro to Contortion" and "Strength and Conditioning" classes to (at least marginally) maintain my flexibility and strength for aerial silks. When the studio opens back up again, make sure to get their half off of four classes with their new-student deal!

Trippy's energy radiates through a screen and I was immediately interested in being coached by him. I had my first lesson last night and WOW!!!!! I left the studio so giddy and excited. I am TERRIBLE at pole but it has become so addicting for me and trippy made me feel so comfortable about my skill level and allowed me to feel safe in my space. Since I've done all the research for this, -no, you will not find a better coach for a better price anywhere near here. Trust me. To be fair, I go to the other studio because it's quite literally .5 minutes walking distance from my house and they offer open pole (so does this place) so it allows me to practice what I've learned with trippy on a regular basis. Otherwise, Opolence is my go to for good now!

You not only learn the standard moves, but you also get to learn different and creative entries or exits that you don't really see elsewhere.

He also does a great job of encouraging and pushing everyone to safe limits. Very tight knit and homey environment. Looking forward to learning more here.

I spoke with the owner in regard to the pacing of the class and how it did not leave enough time…read morerealistically for questions as well as how I was unable to learn because of the pace and jammed content into one routine (beginners 1/2 class mind you). Shonda (the instructor) did offer opportunities for questions, BUT although some of us were confused, if we stopped to ask questions every time we learned something new, realistically we wouldn't have gotten through the routine or the rest of the routine was going to be taught faster so that we would be able to get through it. I realize I am not the only student in the room so it's not fair of me to ask questions all throughout because that hinders everyone's experience and ability to learn the entire dance. Just being mindful. The owner tried giving me an emotional lesson that I should not fear to ask questions... totally wasn't hearing the constructive criticism and was blaming it on my inability to ask questions apparently. I'm open to trying a new instructor but have little hope in this establishment if that also does not go well.
