As soon as you apply for a free pass (see form above) you will likely get a text from the studio manager (the scheduler will be cc’d on the text) and they will ask you a few questions (Do you know when you want to come in? Do you want to use the studio on your own or join a class? ) and work with you on a date & time for you to come in.Â
Our front desk staff will know you will be coming and be able to get you checked in (We require local ID and that you sign a waiver) and provide you with the key-code to the Studio.
You can use your pass to come in and use the studio on your own (we recommend you have some experience with pole dancing in order to do this) or you can take one of 2 classes we hold each week. Monday & Wednesday *7pm – 8pm.Â
*please arrive 15 minutes early so you can get checked in.
