Party Faq's What should I wear? Typical workout wear is best. But beyond that, wear what makes you feel good! From yoga pants and a t-shirt to bootie shorts and a sports bra, it’s your party! You dress how you want to! We have a changing room, so feel free to change here. Please note: Rings and bracelets are prohibited while on the pole, as both the pole and your jewelry can get damaged. Cubbies are available in the dance studio space for you to store your personal belongings. **We suggest that you don’t apply oil-based lotion the day of the party. You will likely get extra slippery on the poles. Either forgo the lotion that day or you’ll need to wash your hands and legs thoroughly before heading back to the studio space. A glycerin based lotion applied earlier in the day will be ok, and may even help you with sticking to the pole. What shoes should I wear? Most people go barefoot or in socks. If you want to wear shoes, they need to be dance shoes, as in ballroom/contemporary dance shoes or platform pole dance shoes such as Pleaser. No outside footwear is allowed in the dance studio space. What is the space like? We have a front lounge area, changing room, restroom, and dance studio. You will have exclusive access to all of these areas during your party. Cubbies are available in the dance studio for storage of your smaller personal items such as phones and keys. Can I bring drinks and food? Yes! But no alcohol. If anyone appears to be under the influence upon arrival, they will be denied into class and no refund will be issued. We ask that you keep all consumables in the lounge area. No food or drink in the back space where instruction takes place. Water is the only exception. How strong do I need to be to pole dance? You can be an absolute beginner or strong athletic type. You don’t need to be physically strong to start pole dancing, but you will get stronger if you stick with it! Tell me more about these poles… The poles are professional quality dancing poles by X-Pole. They are solidly mounted to the structure of the building and have a 350lb weight limit. We have 6 chrome poles (industry standard) and 2 stainless steel poles for dancers with chrome allergies. What is the parking situation? It is free and plentiful! What if I’m pregnant, have an injury, or recently had surgery? Please tell your instructor before your party gets started so we can ensure your safety. Depending on the severity of your situation you may not be able to participate in all of the activities. What if I really like pole dancing and want to keep learning? We have lots of options for you! New students can take our 4-week Rebel 101 Series or join us for any non-aerial classes before committing. Beyond that, you have your choice of a monthly membership, class packs, or pay for each class individually by purchasing drop-in passes.

Studio Policies & Faq's What are the studio's policies? We don't have too many but there are a few simple policies and House Rules that we ask of everyone. Have fun and approach each class with an open mind Be respectful and courteous to your instructors and fellow Rebels If you are at a more advanced level, please register for the appropriate level class. If you choose to do a lower level class, we respectfully ask you to keep your movements to what is being taught or discussed. Otherwise you become a distraction for those that have not learned the more advanced skill or trick yet. Your instructor will give you variations, if needed. For any aerial classes, please remove jewelry- rings, toe rings, bracelets, anklets, and watches. Smart watches with silicone bands and no metal are okay. Poles, lyra hoops and aerial fabrics are not friends with jewelry. Please do not apply oil based lotions prior to class. This is a safety hazard, as they make your skin slippery and get messy as you sweat. Only dance shoes are allowed in the dance studio space. If you're not sure, please ask us. General rule of thumb is if you wear them outside, then they are not proper dance shoes. Please keep coats, street shoes/boots and bulky bags on the shelves in the change room. Any small valuables, such as keys and wallets, that fit in the dance studio room cubbies are welcome. Any items you need to have with you during class (water bottle, grip aids, phone, etc.) must be contained to one of the baskets available in the lobby upon check in. During classes, everyone's bigger items lined up along the walls is a safety issue and also inhibit proper movement due to less floor space. We know you want to show of your new found skills but not everyone is comfortable with that yet. No class spectators. We know you love taking photos and videos of our progress, and we encourage it, but please not during class instruction. Your instructor will give you some time at the end of class for photos and videos. Any videos from a choreo class must also be held off until the end. If you are posting any photos or videos on social media, we kindly ask that you tag the studio and give the instructor or choreographer proper credit. How much is a class? We have a few different class types; Pole, Lyra, Dance, and Conditioning. Drop In pricing varies. Click to see pricing options. I've never taken an aerial class. What class is best? If you've never taken a pole or lyra class before, one of our 101 Beginner Series is where to start. Once you've graduated, you're welcome to join us for other skills and tricks classes on the schedule. We also have several non-aerial dance and conditioning classes that anyone is welcome to join in at any time. Click to see all class info and descriptions. What do I wear? We want you to be comfortable. Wear whatever is easiest for you to move around in. For pole classes, we recommend shorts and tank tops at a minimum. However, beginners may be okay with t-shirts and capri length yoga pants to start. Dance and Fitness classes can be in typical workout or dance attire. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. But I'm not strong enough... You're stronger than you think! You don't need super upper body strength to start. Everyone starts the same, with their feet on the floor and most have little arm strength. With the muscles you didn't even know you had, you'll build up your strength very quickly with basic skills and tricks. Soon you'll to be able to do the more advanced tricks in the air and even go upside down! What should I bring? There's not much required. For pole classes, please bring your own cleaning cloth, a small spray bottle of 70% rubbing alcohol and any grip aides you may want to use. For any classes that are dancing with heels, they must be approved dance shoes. No street shoes. Mats and yoga blocks are available but you are welcome to bring your own for any conditioning class or stretching afterwards. Do I need to reserve a spot? Yes, please. Classes are tailored to who we know is going to be here. We also want you guaranteed to have a pole, a hoop, a chair or a space on the floor. I got wait listed. Now what? Well, class reservations were filled up. But you're next on the list if anyone cancels! When this happens, you'll get a notification that there's an open spot asking you if you'd like it. There is a time limit on your response before it goes to the next person, so act quickly if you want in! You may also check the class schedule in your account profile. If you know you can no longer attend, please remove yourself from the waitlist so that someone else can be moved up or bumped in. Is there parking? Yes, we have a parking lot. Feel free to park in any open space. Are classes only for women? No. We welcome everyone to participate in any class. The only rule is that students be 18 or older to legally sign waivers themselves.
