Both me and my now husband can easily say our favorite part of our wedding process was lessons with Lindsay! She helped us choreograph our first dance, as well as a group dance for our wedding party. We did a first lesson and then 4 lessons after. We got to incorporate lifts, dips, and turns into our dance. We felt like pros! She was so kind and passionate, and this really made our experience so awesome. It is expensive to do the larger packages, but it is so worth it. Not only do you feel so prepared, it is a really nice fun thing to do amidst the crazy wedding planning.

They incorporated the entire family. Sister walked in with elegance. Father Daughter dance was simple and graceful. (The Choreographer was aware of Father's recent spine surgery) A sweet surprise Mother Daughter Dance (My daughter wanted and Shafik made it happen) Meaningful Waltz put together they helped "A Million Dreams" come true. Surprise Dance: it was SHOW TIME for the court of honor soon as those curtains came opened. Hostesses: Made sure I had nothing to worry about. They made sure people where seated for reception, helped me get the Court of Honor ready (surprise dance). Before event they were aware of our type 1 princess and ensured she was provided the correct drink for toast. The Choreographers were very attentive during practices. I would post videos but it wouldn't do justice to the teams craft. It's not just a dance or a couple of songs a family or children dance too. They put on an entire production. I truly recommend you hire them! Trust me I looked into plenty before getting S&S and it was the right choice. You will have no regrets.

I would not recommend this company with anyone. I paid so much money so my daughter's waltz could…read moreturn out beautiful and unfortunately so many issues were caught on video. I hired Shafik to choreograph my daughter's waltz for her quinceanera. The dance itself wasn't the issue, Andy was assigned to be their choreographer and he did good with the kids. I booked a mariachi band and DJ with Shafik and that was the worse mistake made. To start there was no choreographer when it was time to start the waltz. In the beginning of the party some lady came in to confirm with me the songs, timings, and the family members who were going to dance with my daughter. Everything on her sheet was correct so I signed and she disappeared after. When it was time for my daughters waltz the DJ played the wrong songs during their dance, when the kids were done with a song and the music kept playing. When it was time for my daughter to dance with our family members the DJ invited everyone else who wanted to dance with her which made the waltz even longer (something I didn't agree too). When I booked the DJ with Shafik I asked if the DJ would have several DJ lights and he said yes. When I got to the venue the DJ only had two speakers and two lights, one on each side. I messaged Shafik the following day letting him know about the issues along with video showing him and he never even apologize. I hired Shafik because he was recommended by a friend who used him to choreograph her daughters quinceañeras. If I would of know this was the kind of service he provided I would have saved myself so much money and not booked with him.

I can't thank Red and all the lovely people that make the whole of Red's Studio enough for helping…read moreto cultivate a safe and amazing place to learn and practice in. It's rare that you get to find somewhere where you feel comfortable doing the uncomfortable work of not only the physical but also the emotional and psychological aspects that come with the art of movement. The atmosphere I've personally experienced has always been so much fun and nothing short of uplifting. From the different instructors, fellow patrons, to Red herself, I've always felt extremely welcomed and rooted for to succeed during my pole journey as a 5' 9'' 230 lb plus size (over 45 year old) woman. Being surrounded by likeminded individuals who run the gamut of levels of expertise in a single room at any given moment is awe inspiring and keeps me coming back to try to reach my own mini goals along the way. There is something extremely special that happens when you're guided by someone like Red. She has a gift in seeing what you don't yet quite see in yourself; it's empowering, addicting and truly transformative. I am forever grateful to her and her high levels of compassion, adaptability, patience, attention to detail, instruction and overall passion for her craft, community and humanity. To allow yourself to be immersed in any discipline is hard and challenging, but it's also just as rewarding. My self esteem has sky rocketed even while choosing to participate at Beginner/All Levels classes (I LOVE my Open Gym time too!!). I've come to realize and understand that it's not a race and the real joy in development in any craft is in the small nuanced details that are gained with taking one's time. Doing so has helped to open so many doors in the ongoing maintenance of my own inner healing. I am so grateful and happy to have taken a chance on Red's Studio. Pole has seen me doing things I never thought I'd do. Things such as taking a long seeded dream I had of performing live on stage into FULL FRUITION!! In counting, I already have 2 showcases under my belt in a short time frame (more on the way) and I definitely have Red and her Team to thank for that. So if you've ever wanted to find a chill, mom and pop, non-pretentious type of place where everybody knows your name... Red's Studio is the place to be. Where ya stick around after class for the Vibes and maybe getting to play/pet Gaston. He's the bestest lil Studio Mascot ever.

I've been coming here for quite awhile now and every time I walk through the doors, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. Red has created so much more than a pole studio she has built a community where everyone is accepted, regardless of their experience or background. She is energetic, supportive, caring, and truly pours her heart into every single student who walks into her studio. As a mom of two, having a place where I can be myself has meant more than I can put into words. Red always makes every student feel seen, heard, and valued. Through this studio, I've made some truly wonderful friendships and found a community that feels like home. It's become my safe place to laugh, grow, challenge myself, and connect with incredible people. One of my favorite things is the variety of classes she offers. Whether you're a complete beginner, looking to build strength with conditioning classes, interested in dancing in heels, or ready to level up your pole skills, there's something for everyone. She also provides beginner-friendly equipment like mats and makes sure everyone feels safe and confident while learning. Even in a group class, I always feel like I'm getting the attention and guidance of a private lesson. Red takes the time to help each student individually, making sure everyone understands and progresses at their own pace. That personal attention is something that's hard to find and makes such a difference. The studio itself is amazing, too. It's clean, welcoming, and stocked with thoughtful extras like beverages, merchandise, grip products, and knee pads if you forget yours or need to pick some up. More than anything, this studio is a place where you can grow not just physically, but personally. Whether you're trying pole for the first time, looking to build confidence, meet amazing people, or simply find yourself, this is the perfect place to start. I can't recommend Red and her studio enough. She truly gives her all, and it shows in every class. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this community and can't imagine my journey without it.

It seems most dance teachers have to fit in lessons at the end of a very busy day of other jobs and studios. But they come refreshed and give consistent, fun energy every time. Classes are fun. Intermediate goes quick. It's not Beginner+ like at some studios where it gets watered down. I appreciate that. My first time I left after 5 minutes. Months later I tried again and made it 15 before I could no longer keep up. It gives you something to work up to. Even after probably 40+ beginner classes, I had to really focus in an intermediate class. The general classes can be crowded and lopsided with way more guys. But they can control that. However, Master classes are smaller and they only take a matched quantity of leads and follows so less sitting out rotations. For some reason even when we started with a matched quantity the guys tended to come more consistently (pressure is on us to learn it!) The rotation break can be helpful when it does happen so you can walk yourself through it alone. I've taken lessons from probably 60 other dance pros in another type of dance and Nicole and Demetrio are the best. I switched dances because Steven's Steakhouse was close to home and they just made it fun. I genuinely missed it when I couldn't go so decided to stick with it.

Definitely won't be coming in here again. The first person…read moreat the front taking Venmo payments, wearing the yellow shirt, was extremely rude and dismissive. There was absolutely no customer service, and the way I was treated made both me and my company feel unwelcome and disrespected. I was especially disappointed because I was there with my sisters, and what should have been an enjoyable experience was overshadowed by the way we were treated. Instructors seem great but couldn't enjoy the night after the way I was treated.
