So this is one of my favorite places in the whole world. It's a second home that fills me mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It's my gym, my church, my school, my playground, and my safe harbor. I love the community of people I get to be with here and learn both from and with. I get to be wholly ME here without judgment and with plenty of love and encouragement. And yes, I'm a goofball and took pics when I realized I had the whole parking lot to myself after one of the MANY classes I go to. I love SSM! #ssmfit #ssmfitsa read more

This place was so fun with the gal pals. Saw this place online and we bought sessions for 8 girls, a 2 hour pole dancing class and how to twerk class. There were laughs all around. The teachers for both class were so patient and very welcoming. Every staff were accommodating and the place was clean and decorative. For bachelorette parties you can BYOB, and at the end they provide the bridal party with goodie bags. Both classes were not only entertaining, it got a good workout out of all the girls who went. Can't complain, the visit was all around productive! read more

here to let you know that if you needed a sign this is it! The community between the people here is so warm, welcoming and non-judgmental. I absolutely recommend taking the "Try me out intro to pole" class as a taste. read more

I have been pole dancing for 7 years, and teaching for 3. When I moved to SATX recently, I scoped out the local studios to decide which one I wanted to patronize, and SSM was it for me! Classic, focus on sensuality, focus on developing strong foundations, and a passion for improving mental health and quality of life. This is the studio for me! You can go anywhere to learn the latest IG trendy move, but a loving and supportive community is harder to find. I attended classes for 6 months to really get the feel of the studio before offering my services as an instructor, and I couldn't be happier with my new pole home! read more

I was surprised by my bridesmaids with a burlesque dancing class and I had the best time EVER! Our instructor, Beatrix Enigma, was absolutely amazing and made all of us feel so beautiful and comfortable. If I wasn't from out of town I would definitely want to sign up for more classes read more

It's been a little over a year, and I still love it here. Since my last review, a number of classes have been added including yoga, pilates, strength, dance. There's always a class for almost every day of the week to kick your butt into shape. It's almost a full-fledged fitness studio instead of strictly a pole studio. I wonder if the owner saw my review, cause she has lowered some class prices and since added plans for attending multiple classes. (yay!) The more you attend - the lower the price. I still recommend SSM without a doubt. read more

I had such a blast. This is my second time going and this time I had two of my good friends join me. Amanda (instructor for this class) is amazing. She teaches you proper techniques to make the body feel better through stretches/posture and she also help you learn how to relax & meditate. Only $10 bucks. Please try everyone. This is a great workout that strengthens EVERY part of your body. NAMASTE. #letsgetfit2gether #dontmissout #springisnear #Saturdaymorningworkouts #makingimprovement read more

I've been going to SSM for a year and I love it. This was great to have during the pandemic since the class sizes are always small and you have to be socially distant (or you'll end up kicking someone ). These classes are great for getting in shape and for body positivity. Anyone who is considering it, do the "try me out" class and you'll be hooked! read more

Today me and two friends went to the "Try Me Out" pole dancing class with Contortia and it was SO much fun! She is such an awesome instructor and made us all feel super comfortable. I loved that we each got to pick our alter ego name, and she called us that all throughout the class. We learned a couple of fun moves, and she also showed us what she can do on the pole. She is AMAZING. She truly inspired me and made me want to come back to learn more and to keep improving. I also got to see some of their other instructors and I love how much confidence they have, and how positive they all are. They truly make you feel sexy and beautiful, and that is always a good thing! I can't wait to start Level 1 pole dancing! (: read more

I have taken the Art of Strip class and it was a lot of fun! Took the class with 2 of my girlfriends and learned some new moves and ways to improve some of my current moves. They teach you a choreography throughout the weeks incorporating different clothing pieces. I also liked that they give you a document with all the directions written out. This class really did more than just teach you some cool chair/lap dance moves, it helped me with my confidence and owning it! Another plus is the great music, awesome instructor, and the other lovely ladies you meet in the class. I've also taken pole lessons here from level 1-7 and it was Awesome! The class had women of all sizes and it wasn't as hard as it looks...but then it became as hard as it looked once you got up in the levels. I'm planning on going back to continue my pole lessons, it's so much fun and I miss it!! I never had a chance to try any of the other classes, but I am sure they are great! I did attend some of the parties that they throw, such as Goddess Night Out and you get to hang out with all the other lovely ladies who attend SSM's classes. They also do workshops with well known Pole Athletes, which I think is great! If you've always wanted to try Pole lessons, this is the place to go! read more

I took my mom to an into to pole class for her 40th birthday, she was super nervous but everyone here made us feel so welcome and they were all so accommodating to our skill level. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking into it. read more

I have been attending pole dancing classes with Black Orchid Shimi for the past few weeks for her Level I classes, and I must say that she is a fantastic instructor! The class is small with 8 students, and the classroom is also fairly small but it suffices. There are 9 poles in the classroom, so every student has their own pole to practice on. The studio itself is very nice and held up. I really like the interior design the studio has, it is very feminine and welcoming. In regards to the instructor, Black Orchid Shimi, is very patient with her students and you can tell that she really enjoys her job. The classes run about 70 minutes, and trust me after those 70 minutes, you will be sweating and sore the following day. Pole dancing is a good and fun workout, use of a lot upper body strength. Black Orchid Shimi makes the class fun and interesting, and after taking the class your point of view of pole dancing changes, and you view it as an art, because it really is a skill and art! Plus, pole dancing boosts your confidence and any women can do it! Overall, if you want to have fun, spend time with your girlfriends, workout to build a better body and feel sexier, I HIGHLY recommend this studio. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. Instructors and staff are welcoming and great! read more

I was introduced to ssm through a friend. I have taken one class and I definitely plan on going for some more. The instructors and the owner are just awesome people to be around. There's always a positive vibe in the air. Classes are a little pricey. But there are packages you can buy that gives you more classes for less. I recommend SSM to any and every girl that wants to get some confidence, muscles and have some fun at the same time. =) read more

They were great and were very helpful with prices and schedules. The teacher Salem was awesome and extremely fun to be taught by. Would definitely continue going. read more

i came here for a bachelorette party and it was so much FUN!!!!!!! I was a little nervous at first since I haven't done anything like this before but their website is super helpful and answered a lot of my questions. Also, I got lost on the way there - make sure you go to the location on San Pedro in the shopping center with Sawasdee Thai Restaurant (google maps has their old location). Since I went with a private party it was just our group - but our teacher Elekktra was awesome! So sweet and enthusiastic. She made our group feel very comfortable and even had prizes for us at the end! The first part of the party we learned a floor and chair routine, complete with props. After that we had time for a little break - you're allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks, which was super nice! Next we continued our lessons in the pole room and learned basic moves for beginners. Tip - wear shorts! I was wearing leggings and had trouble doing some of the moves. At the end Elekktra also showed us one of the routines she teaches her advanced class. I am now the proud owner of a certificate that says "To a fabulous, sexy, hot as hell party girl!" haha. I learned a lot and left the party feeling great! If you are looking for unique ideas for a bachelorette party or just a fun time with your girls please check this place out! I had a great experience! read more

Booked a bachelorette party for 8 women this past weekend. Our instructor was professional, confident & FUN! Every single one of us, all shapes & sizes learned the dance moves and had a great time. SSM had everything set up to make our party a success. I would highly recommend! read more

This studio rocks. I came here to challenge myself with pole classes and have been hooked since then. The instructors, the owner and the women who take classes here have made this a supportive, fearless and fun community. The space is pretty, clean and well-maintained and the envy of other pole students across the country. I primarily take pole but the studio does offer other fun, body-positive, sexy fun dance classes. The location is good...not too out of the way and located near some major malls, good restaurants and highways. I might come stressed out by my work but I always leave with a smile on my face! read more

I can't rave enough about how much I love this place! As a more conservative person, I've only enrolled in the Zumba with Xena class. Ladies, this studio has been amazing. Really, I can't even say how awesome it is working out here. The Zumba class is at the beginner level and Debbie will modify the exercises to your comfort level. But don't be fooled! YOU WILL GET A WORKOUT! I leave her class every week covered in sweat. Debbie's class is definitely a workout and isn't like other Zumba classes you may have tried. I was looking for a women's only class near my home, and I stumbled onto SSM. For $5/class I figured I had nothing to lose. I get way more value from this class than what I've paid for it. The instructor Debbie is one of the kindest people I've ever met. I had never done Zumba before and she's made me very comfortable exercising in a group setting. The camaraderie and fun in this class has been a huge confidence boost! I know a lot of people may be nervous about coming to a pole dancing studio, even for non-pole classes. The studio is immaculately clean and well-kept in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. I've never, ever felt uncomfortable at SSM, even as a more reserved person who would never try the pole. Even if you aren't sure if it's a fit for you, try one of the low-level classes. You have nothing to lose. :) read more

The best place to be for Aerial fitness! Fun atmosphere and an open environment. There is more than fitness in this studio, there is also a lot of love. I've been to many aerial studios over the years and I highly recommend this one. read more

When you love fitness you are always looking for ways to challenge yourself and find a new workout...Soft sensuous moves offers a fun, energetic and motivating answer to your desire for something new, challenging and exciting.!! I can work on flexibility and strength in sensual pilates, or maybe just something new like art of strip to get my hips moving and ignite my love life (bonus exercise). Have you always wanted to try belly dancing or burlesque....well those are both classes that have been taught here as well. and I loved the variety of routines taught each week. But it seems like SSM is really been more known for their pole classes because they fit women of all body types. Maybe you just wanna tease and play with some floor work and sexy push ups, maybe you want to just spin like a little girl on the park, or maybe you want to compete in local and national pole competitions. Whatever you want, they can help you achieve your goal!! I just love to hang upside down!! The instructors are certified and all offer something a little different while you get the opportunity to meet a new group of friends just wanting a little something new like you. We all support each other as we challenge ourselves to the next level. The other fun part of SSM is the Bachelorette and birthday parties. I have had parties here and they are amazing from the minute we walked in until the minute we left. Where else can your girlfriends have a drink, learn strip routines and swing on a pole all in a safe comfortable place...with a disco ball. ;) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! read more

I took an Intro to Pole class today and loved it! The instructor Contortia was so amazing and clearly has a passion for her art! Im excited to sign up for level classes :) read more

Soft sensuous moves is an amazing little studio. I started a pole dancing class with Elekktra back in September! She such an amazing instructor and very patient. I love her and love going there to take her classes! Highly recommended for a fun and sexy exercise plus a way to boost your confidence! read more

Every woman should take a pole dance class at SSM. The classes are not only fun, they also help you get in touch with your body. There are no judgements, no preconceived "way" a pole dancer should look, women of all body types attend classes. Attend a class and you'll see what I mean. Oh, and it's a great workout and a great way to burn calories! Everyone is very nice, you will feel welcomed. Great way to improve your body image! read more

A group of girlfriends and I went to SSM for my bachelorette party, which was hosted by Karla. Although not one of us had ever had any experience in pole dancing, we had so much fun learning beginner moves. Karla was sassy and knew how to modify every single move if needed (one of my bridesmaids was 7 months pregnant at the time, and Karla knew exactly how to keep her safe while still involving her in the class). As for the classes, we started out in the pole room, learning some moves, then we had our "solo acts" where we showed off what we had just learned. After we showed off our beginner moves, our instructor then showed off her moves to us. Then we went to the red room to take a lap dance class, which was also pretty fun. SSM provided all party supplies and even provided pretty awesome prizes. I am so glad we went! I would definitely recommend SSM to anyone and everyone! And we all loved our instructor, Karla! She was AMAZING! read more

This workout has helped me build upper body strength more than any other workout class I have ever taken! My first class I was a little nervous but the other women were so friendly and I was hooked! It's been about five years and I have taken almost every class offered at the studio. I have even brought my mother to see a showcase! I have made some great friends and stayed in shape even after having a baby. Love it!!! read more

Definitely the best studio in town to get in shape and feel good about yourself. Pole work has made me stronger, more flexible and more confident. The instructors are patient and very knowledgeable. Best of all, you will have loads of fun! read more

After a friend drove 3 hrs to visit and take the class with me, they called an hour before it started to inform me that it had been cancelled due to lack of enrollment. I offered to pay for two additional spots to fulfill the requirements, but they denied that too. Sorry, guys. Super disappointed. Won't return. read more

We went for a birthday party that had a private group lesson. It was so much fun, so well organized, and I would highly recommend it for a girls night out. read more
