We've interacted with the Ritz twice and had two wildly different experiences:…read more First we went to a group class on a Friday night and learned the cha-cha. Karen taught this class, and it was great! It was pretty clear that they get a lot of regulars each week, and we're both beginner-intermediate dancers, so we learned a lot from our fellow students. Karen was great about teaching all of us the steps, and we got a lot of new moves down. We enjoyed it a lot, and we looked forward to having the Ritz come out and DJ our wedding reception. Then we booked the Ritz to DJ our wedding. Our vision was to get more people on the dance floor and have a group lesson at the start of our dance time, and this was a major disappointment! When Karen got there she immediately told me that she was just told a couple days ago that she "had to" come to our event because her daughter Bree was not in town. No friendliness. She seemed put out to be there at our event. She taught our group class like I requested, but not without calling some couples a "train wreck"! Then during the event, she just sat at the table not even facing the dance floor, and she hardly looked up from her phone the whole time. And she refused to play some of our guests' song requests to boot! I don't believe in playing on your phone when you're at work. Certainly Karen knew that her behavior was unprofessional. The playlist was good though. Why did we tip her when she clearly was phoning it in on our special day!? What a disappointment. She was recommended by a friend, but we should have gone with someone who isn't as skilled as a dance instructor but could have at least brought a little bit of energy! Even several of our guests commented on how we had the most disaffected DJ anyone had seen. It was memorable! LOLOL

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. The last class we were encouraged to get all dolled up for our final performance and pictures, but to tell you the truth, if I had it to do all over again I'd just dress like a stripper for EVERY CLASS and throw myself into the role without holding back. Run...don't walk...in your stripper heels no less...to sign up for a class or two. Solo or with some friends, you can't go wrong. And don't hang out at the back of the room. Claim a pole front and center, and just GET INTO IT!
