Since we are the largest capacity pole dancing studio in the Northwest, our classes are bigger than some, however, it's a total blast being in a room with 5 - 8 ladies spinning around poles, encouraging, complimenting, giggling and joking around... being women!
Our average class size is usually between 5-8 students, leaving a few extra poles for drop in's, or make up classes. Take advantage of the extra pole spaces while you can as classes are starting to fill up.
