It got me sweating, too. I recommend doing this. My instructor was very friendly. Paying online beforehand was convenient. I saw you could download an app to pay as well. I thought the price was reasonable because it was comparable to a yoga class or a pilates class and it was more fun. I saw that people can have parties, too. This sounds great. I'm so lucky to have this a couple blocks away from me!

She broke down the movements just enough to make sure I had the dances, but not too much that would make the class stagnant. We had ample time to practice recently learned moves, enjoy pole play, and even got to pick the songs we wanted to get sassy to. The environment was very encouraging and supportive. The space was nice. There was even a more advanced student getting her pole play on while the beginners learned beginner moves. I had a lot of fun, felt beautiful throughout and empowered in my womanhood. I will definitely return.

It's true, Heather. The membership contract is bullshit. It's extremely difficult to get out of the…read morecontract and the "cancellation fee" for breaking the contract is also predatory. I've trained at aerial studios across the country and I've never encountered these predatory practices. If you are confident in your services, let people move on without trying to wring money out of them if they need to stop training for whatever reason. Also, beginner pole dancers are permitted to be an instructor at this studio. Because Cincinnati is a small city without many options, Dimension Fitness is still in business. In other cities, people would choose a professional studio with more experienced instructors and non predatory billing practices. If you live in Cincinnati, find online instructors. Trust me.

It doesn't matter! I signed up solo just to check it out, and by the end of the first class had made a new friend that stuck with me through the end. If you have ever wanted to try pole dancing, this is absolutely one of the best introductions I can imagine you experiencing. Talk about a judgment-free zone where you can just have fun, explore your sexy, and laugh at your mistakes! You go home every class having learned a new skill to test out, and by the end of the series, you've got a whole sexy routine that'll stop a man dead in his tracks and make him empty his wallet. The classes come with a pair of shoes (never got mine, sadly, because they didn't have my size), and if you're lucky you can sit and watch one of the advanced classes (I.e. professional dancers). I saw a girl climb a pole to the top of the room, touch the ceiling, and slide down like an angel. It was breathtaking. It truly doesn't matter how big or small you are, it's all about your attitude. If you WANT to do it, you 100% can.

Absolutely killer aerial/dance/pole fitness studio. Huge instructor team for constantly-rotating…read moreclasses, some of the owners are even instructors, and there are multiple rooms for concurrent classes. I really love it here. My suggestion if you're brand new? Try to enroll in an enrollment course for something that piques your interest. If you're curious about aerial apparatuses but scared about the idea of being in a studio and learning it, sign up for a dance choreography class for the first time. It'll get you familiar with the studio, the instructors, and the process, and you'll likely find yourself comfortable enough to sign up for your apparatus class the next month! PROS: -Multiple rooms means multiple concurrent classes pretty much from 5PM to 9PM most evenings. There's a dedicated room full of silks/hammock, a room full of lyras, a dance/hardwood floor room, and a room full of poles. Each room is separate so you can really focus on what you're doing. -They have one-time classes (they call them "enhancement") and series classes spread out over a full month (they call them 'enrollment'). This gives you price options and time commitment options. -Such a ridiculously welcoming atmosphere. As a plus-size woman with no aerial background, I was worried, but everybody is extremely welcoming. There are thinner-bodied humans and thicker-bodied humans. The majority of the attendees seem to be femme-presenting, but there are some masculine-presenting people who are super welcome too. -Such a gigantic class list of options to choose from. There's belly dance, yoga, cardio dance classes, aerial apparatus classes (pole, lyra, hammock, silks), choreography classes, and more. Really, there are so many options that things can feel overwhelming sometimes. -Lots of unique workshops too for one-off learning of advanced concepts or digging into the magic of choreography creation. There are also regular showcases for students to show off what they've been learning if you're curious about the studio and want to take a tour and see what type of stuff happens for yourself. -Instructors are so friendly. They're always happy to answer questions, and if I'm having trouble with something, they usually have advice or modifications. CONS: -Almost all of the studio membership options give you a free "learn how to do X" class series each month. This means that a lot of the students have dabbled in various aerials - or are absolutely amazing at them. This means that the one-time, "all levels welcome!" classes regularly include moves that are beyond the brand-new beginner level. I've popped into haute hammock classes where ALL of the apparatus choreography was outside of my abilities - and sassy silks classes where 50% of the choreo was beyond my abilities. This isn't necessarily a reason to avoid the studio, but you might want to know that some of the one-off/enhancement classes (Sassy Silks, Lyra Lux, Sassy Silks, Poleography) may use a few (or more) moves that will be hard for a brand-new beginner to use. If you see everybody else catching onto the moves really quickly, remember that a lot of people have familiarity with the apparatus or might even regularly be doing tricks that are 4x as hard. I know I've used these choreography classes as a way to "try" a new aerial apparatus, but if you do the same, don't let it discourage you if you're unable to do most of the things. It's totally normal for some of the choreo to be beyond a newbie's capabilities. (I wish there was a way for Femme Fatale to really earmark which individual classes each week were beginner-friendly and which weren't.) -Because the membership options offer unlimited one-time/"enhancement" class enrollments for members, enhancement classes fill up really far ahead of time - but there's a gigantic turn-over near the day of the class. So if you're on a waitlist, don't fret! It's likely that you'll make it in day-of. My plan-ahead ass hates the uncertainty, though. If you want the best likelihood to be on the class list (and not the waitlist), sign up exactly two weeks ahead of time when the class registration opens.

Lady Kave is such a fun and cool place! I planned a bachelorette weekend and knew this had to be…read moreone of our stops! Once you're inside you see a number of poles coming down from the ceiling and you really feel like you're in a cave because of the stone walls on either end. Another wall is full of mirrors and the opposite wall has Lady Kave's logo which is perfect for a group photo. Our instructor was so sweet and talented. She went over safety and had us stretch. She showed us the dance we would be doing and we all began to be internally worried we wouldn't be able to do it but she was such a wonderful teacher and broke it down step by step. We all were able to learn it! We giggled and twirled and tried to be sexy but couldn't match the instructors grace. I had always wanted to pole dance because it is such an amazing workout and so graceful. Our hour long party did not let us down from beginning to end. Omg our arms were sore the next day! I didn't expect the next part and loved that Lady Kave doesn't take pole dancing too seriously. We divided into two groups and had a dance off where the others put fake ones into our clothing (wear socks, leggings or shorts, and a comfy top). The winners then dueled it out! It was hilarious, fun and tasteful. Our instructor helped take pictures and video. We also got to try the rotating pole, in the corner, at the end and take pictures with boas. I can't wait to go back with a group or to take a class. I highly recommend Lady Kave!!!

The owners ARE very unprofessional and dismissive. Communication is horrendous and any questions or concerns (i.e. money, cancelled workshops, etc.) are met with defensiveness, excuses and use of "free" merchandise rather than real solutions. Beware they do not offer refunds, but you will get a "credit" for what THEY feel they owe you. It's extremely disappointing that a business that has been around for 21 years is ran so badly and doesn't have a better ethics. I'm sure they have a huge following, but this was my 1st experience with Planet Dance, and I will be dancing my happy ass elsewhere to get a more positive and honest experience.

I decided to give it a try during their week of free classes in early January, and I'm so glad I did! Everyone was friendly, and they took a little more time to breakdown some of the dances since there were so many new people visiting that week. I would describe DANCEFIX as a more "dance version" of Zumba. There's a mix of Latin, Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop etc. which makes it appeal to multiple people. It's high energy and lot of cardio, so everyone is sweating by the end of it. It took an amount of concentration to follow the different routines, but I felt so good afterwards and was excited to try it again. This particular studio is smaller, but it made it easy to see the instructor and even with a full house, there was plenty of room to move around. It was difficult to find, so know that it's inside one of the buildings and directly across from the Sleepy Bee. They have a cool down period at the end of class (they provide yoga mats or you can bring your own) with some short exercises and stretching. Wear footwear that you're comfortable in, but I would highly recommend wearing jazz sneakers or something that's easy to do spins and turns to prevent risk of injury. Give it a try and have a blast!
