I took the flo low class with Melanie and I loved learning the combo that she taught us! She explained each movement in great details and she was attentive to each student. She really helped me by spotting my movements and showing me how to do it better. The studio is nice with 7 poles and smooth hardwood floors. I do find it strange that they allow more students than the number of poles. The instructor doesn't even have her own pole. So if there are extra students, we would need to share the pole with them and the instructor. For the amount of money we're paying for the classes and the limited time we have, I'd think everyone should have their own poles. read more

POL - Dance Studios Near Me - Culver City, California

Great studio! The classes are intimate and everyone is so friendly (from instructors to students). I love that they have a progressive series for those who are just starting, super beginner friendly! read more

Where do I even start.... Amanda (the owner) has YEARS of experience teaching everything from beginners, to spin, to choreo. You can see how amazing this studio is from how amazing students' progress is. I (as well as some other students) was an avid attendee of another studio. In my time spent at Pol I've progressed more and have been injured less. The environment is loving, fun, supportive, and empowering. Every single one of the teachers (besides the owner) has a unique vibe and adds so so much to my pole journey. Whether it's classes to get in touch with my sensual self or to build my trick strength, I've found it here. read more

In LA visiting for the weekend and wanted to check out the IV+ class at POL. I texted the studio number that was listed on Mindbody and a staff member responded and helped me get set up with a drop in class. Getting set up and paying for the class was super straight forward and they were super responsive and helpful in getting me set up. The studio has beautiful natural lighting, clean floors, and 6 X-poles. The class started with breathwork and warmup. Then we did a free dance which I loved because it helped you get warm enough without needed to do any tricks yet. After that we did a combo, some combo variations, and then ended with another free dance. I love the energy of this studio. The instructor was incredibly welcoming and the students were so fun and encouraging. It's studios like these that make the pole community what it is. They opened shortly before the pandemic so it's awesome to see how much growth their studio has witnessed and that they're still running a great space. If you're in the area, come check out POL! read more

I would follow Amanda anywhere, but especially to Pol! This is seriously the most peaceful and beautifully lit studio I've had the pleasure of dancing in (and I've been poling for 5+ years). The space is honestly kind of addicting, with an intimate feel and buttery smooth floors, perfect for tuning out the world and focusing on your movement. Amanda offers both drop-in classes like exotic, freestyle, low flow, and flexibility, but also monthly series classes, where you go once a week with the same group and build on your skills. There are classes for all levels, beginner or intermediate or advanced, and intro sessions for anyone who wants to give pole a try. Amanda is such an encouraging and capable instructor and has been doing this long enough that you know you're in good hands. read more

POL - Beautifully lit pole dance studio in Culver City - Dance Studios Near Me - Culver City, California

Just finished my first two classes and I am smitten. First I must admit that getting me to leave Malibu is an ordeal but I had heard about Amanda and her incredible studio from too many people to not be just curious, but willing to drive! And find parking! (Both of which were totally doable, lol!) The room! The lighting! The other friendly students! Just an all around amazing experience and one that I will be repeating on a weekly basis. This is a special place and I'm so glad I got the opportunity. read more

Super clean , modern studio , an intimate space with enough poles to hold a suitable class size. Amazing instructors , I love love my series instructor Ashley ; but all the drop in class instructors I have experienced have been equally amazing . You'll be surround by very friendly Pole goers at varying experience levels. I started my pole journey by visiting different studios randomly but once I came here I was hooked ! If your thinking about trying it for the first time or wanna switch up studios , definitely give this place a go !! read more

I adore this space and the owner Amanda. I started my pole journey with her and she created such a loving and creative space for me to explore my movements. Not only can she hold a safe and nurturing environment, but she has impeccable technique and easily can break down movements for you to understand and continue to build your pole skills--whether you are looking for flow, movement exploration, flexibility, low flow, tricks, contemporary, exotic or Russian exotic, Amanda is able to provide a pole/dance journey that is truly authentic to you. Her energy is contagious and she is the one of the most warm-hearted and kindest person you will ever get to meet. The group of women who come to this studio are so open and friendly. There's always there to cheer you on and spot you. It's not one of those spaces where you'll find yourself in the corner of the room with no one wanting to approach you. I've bounced from fitness/dance studios to another and it is very rare to automatically feel like you're part of a community. A hidden gem for sure and I'm so excited to see it grow. Also! Major plus is that the studio is on the second floor. Fresh air and sunlight is always blowing through the windows and no opportunity for people walking by to look in. It feels remote and private without feeling like you're enclosed in a dark room. So refreshing and bright! read more

The long and short of it is that PŌL gets 5/5 from me and I wholeheartedly (and do often) recommend it to anyone who is curious about trying pole dancing or looking for a new studio to take classes at. Before I started training with the owner, Amanda, I had been to a few pole classes, but never really got hooked or felt comfortable in the class environment. I was quite wary of classes that seemed too light on instruction or too informal. Pole classes are expensive, and the last thing I wanted to do was pay $30-40 to sit idly for an hour while instructors socialized with their more familiar students. Amanda's style of movement and instruction was different from anything else I had experienced. She was and remains attentive to every student, knowledgeable enough about movement mechanics to make adjustments for all levels, and thoughtful about creating progressive class structures that always feel both challenging and fun. In the years I've been pole dancing, I've been to a lot of different classes, but Amanda's signature 90-minute PŌL class remains at the core of my pole practice. There are certainly incredible pole dancers you can learn tricks from in LA, but what's special about Amanda is that she teaches you how to turn pole dancing into art and deep personal expression, all while focusing on establishing strong foundations and proper technique. I've recommended countless friends to attend her intros, and they've all returned saying that it was challenging, but accessible, and an incredibly warm and welcoming environment to explore something new in. If you're looking to try something different in your fitness routine or get more in touch with your body in a safe and nurturing environment, look no further--PŌL will be your new home. Looking forward to seeing you in class! read more

This little nook is so beautiful!!! Amanda created such a sweet,safe space to come and dance. It's a great place to start your pole journey and explore the movement of your body. Amanda has been my instructor for almost 5 years now and I'm still constantly in awe of how much I learn from her. This is the place to go if you are new yo pole or if you have been pOling for years and just want to rent the space to play read more

If you're looking for a studio that will take the intimidation factor out of pole class, PŌL is your studio and Amanda Wing is your teacher! Students who are new to pole have the option of taking a progressive class where you all start as first timers and grow together (an effective way to feel comfortable and fall in love with the sport) and more advanced dancers can continue their journey in a boutique style studio where fluidity in movement is a trademark of Amanda Wing trained dancers. I must mention the lighting. I don't even have to filter my pole videos. The natural light is so soft and magically erases my cellulite. I feel so beautiful, for many reasons, when I dance at PŌL. read more

I'm falling in love with pole all over again! Amanda offers a variety of classes that are the perfect mix of choreo, trick training, and fundamentals. I invite my friends to join since everything is really accessible for all levels. Come for the workout, stay because pole is an addiction! read more

See all

Amanda is the most amazing teacher ever! She knows how to break down moves so that it's easy to follow and understand. She's also sooo creative and free, she makes everyone feel so loved and happy! I would 11/10 recommend this pole studio to anyone! read more

Love the classes so far! The teachers are amazing and super kind and helpful! It's a lot of fun!

Love Amanda and love her studio. Amanda is an incredibly instructor. I've known her for almost 9 years now, and have loved following her career. She is a graceful dancer and a fierce instructor. She pushes you to just beyond your comfort level and really helps you be an amazing dancer. She respects pole as a place to build connections with each other, and her vibe is not competitive at all. If you're looking for a pole home, you've found it. read more

Such a beautiful studio space! It has beautiful natural lighting from the windows. The teacher is wonderful and so kind and the ladies that were taking the classes were all so supportive and uplifting! Amazing workout in a super positive and safe space with an amazing dancing community! read more

Amanda has not only created a stunning studio, but also a culture of empowerment and support. I have followed her from studio to studio and at last she has a permanent pole home. This beautiful space is such a joy to dance in. The floors are clean and smooth. The poles are easy to transition between static and spin. The dancers are friendly and inclusive. This type of dance is so intimate, it truly requires a safe space to express yourself. If you're new to pole or nervous about taking the plunge, let me tell you, you will find no other sport like it. You will leave the session feeling like the Queen you are. For the seasoned poler bears, Amanda is an extremely talented dancer. I have been on this journey for 2 years with her and I still have so much to learn. She makes tricks accessible for all levels while still giving each individual that extra bit of challenge. So take the leap, check it out, I promise you won't want to leave. read more

I LOVE PŌL! An amazing studio! It feels so calming and homey, I can genuinely express and move freely here. Amanda is an amazing instructor, and I love the building variation of offered classes - there truly is something for everyone! The people I've taken classes with have become some of my best friends, the energy here grows community and good company. I can't say enough great things! read more

Where do I begin! The owner, Amanda, teaches classes that are a good enough reason alone to come check out POL. I have been Amanda's student for about 2 years and have literally followed her from studio to studio. I am so excited that she now has her own space! I truly appreciate how patient and supportive of she is. She gives great instructions on how to master tricks in a safe way, that are also easy to understand. I have been able to accomplish so much more than I ever thought I could thanks to Amanda! I am currently enrolled in the studio's series class, which allows you to dance with the same group of students each month. I feel like this builds such a strong community within the studio, because you really get to know the other students and can form great connections. You never feel alone in a class! The flo classes are great too because you get to try out different styles of pole dancing. My favorite has to be the tricks and combos class because you get to focus on 1-2 tricks each week that you may want to learn or improve on. And then, there is the space itself. POL is such a beautiful studio at a great location that is pretty central to all parts of LA. It has a charming and airy feel, with smooth floors that are easy to dance on and amazing lighting. I really like how it is located on the second floor as well, so it feels a bit more private as compared to other studios I have been to. I seriously cannot recommend this studio enough! If you are considering trying out pole for the first time or looking to find a new studio to continue your pole journey, POL is the place to go. read more
