Do I need to be fit, thin or strong to take this class?

These classes are about having fun, getting fit, feeling sexy and discovering abilities
you probably didn't even know you had - not about how you look. It's a friendly
atmosphere and one of the main goals is to enjoy yourself and have fun with the girls
while you get in shape! It doesn't take a lot of strength to spin on a pole if you learn
the right techniques. But if you want to start building strength before the class series
begins, focus on upper body and abdominal exercises such as push ups and sit
ups.

To provide optimum safety on the poles, there may be some limitations for
individuals over 250  pounds. If you’d like more information about this, please e-mail

What should I wear to class?

For pole dancing you will need to have bare arms and legs to make good contact
with the pole. You can wear shorts and a tank top, work out clothes or yoga wear. We
start the class in bare feet, and depending on your comfort level, may advance to
high heels. Please remove all jewelry before class including rings and bracelets. Do
not apply lotions or oils before attending pole classes as this will make it more
difficult to grasp onto the pole.

For Fit-4-Pole you are coming to workout, so make sure you have your sneakers!  A
tank top, sports bra, shorts, yoga pants, or capri sweats are appropriate.

For So Sexy Moves and Chair Danincg you will want to wear comfortable, fitting
clothes that make you feel sexy!  We'll start in socks and advance to heels in each
class.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What should I bring to class?

Bring a yoga mat and water to class.

What will we be learning in class?

Butterfly Effect Signature Series Classes are approximately 1 hour each. The first 15
minutes of class include warm ups, floor work and sensual dance moves known in
the traditional dance world as isolations. After 15 minutes of stretching and dance,
our bodies are warmed up and ready for pole lessons, sexy moves or chair dancing.
Depending on class size and ability, you will learn about three pole tricks per class,
and a routine by the end of each 4-week session.

So Sexy Moves will focus on sensual movement that can be incorporated into pole
and chair dancing routines.

Chair Dancing will focus on using a chair during your sexy dance routine as well as
additional props like boas and hats.

What is the class size?

Size is limited to 6- 10 students per class.
