If you have never tried a pole class, there are several non-pole classes that I would highly recommend attending. The best value is the unlimited membership, which allows all the classes to be taken. That is what I did. Imagine your new zen happy place. It's amazing!

I contacted the Pole Academy for a surprise birthday party for two of my friends who were turning…read more70. I had no idea what to expect! We showed up armed with boas and crowns that were great for the pictures we took afterward but not so good for dancing. This academy is legit. Jax was our instructor and was very professional even though the group was nervous and silly. But with her instruction we gave it our best shot, ending up with a short dance designed for beginners. The studio caters to serious dancers who are there for fitness, but they made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun. The studio was clean, including the bathrooms. I booked a one hour private session and it was worth every penny for the lasting memories we have. We may be back for the 80th!

They're not even the…read morebest studio for someone wanting to focus 100% on ballet in Greenville but acceptable and may possibly fit your needs but would recommend doing some research. If you're looking for other forms of dance like tap, hip hop, contemporary, etc then I really wouldn't recommend it at all. The management actually seemed to not respect all forms of dance like hiphop and also were not supportive of the competition teams. They seemed to only care about the ballet program. The competition dance side, I think they call it Greenville Jazz, had lot of dissatisfyied parents and kids from what I understood and the signups for next year dropped off substantially. Saw some individual awards but never any news about a competition team getting a really high score or having top finishes. The recital was also on a Tuesday night during the school year with a Monday night rehearsal. The kids did not get home until well past 10pm which is completely unacceptable for a school night with young kids. Most all dance studios do weekend recitals. As far as costs go, they seem more expensive than others and seem to have policies that "nickel and dime" you to death throughout the year.

This is the greatest place basically. Especially if you want to learn how to dance. I recommend it…read moreto ages middle school and up. Can't wait for it to re open!!

My 6-year-old daughter was on their competitive dance teams. She asked to go to the bathroom during…read morea 2-hour dance team rehearsal. The kids drink water from their bottles all of class as they are thirsty. Other students had been allowed to go to the bathroom but her teacher would not allow her to go. Well, about 15 minutes later, my daughter started crying because she was in pain. The teacher yelled at her and called her a baby for crying and finally let her go. I texted and e-mailed the studio manager and owner several times. I received no response for several days. My daughter's dance contract said that she could not miss regardless or she was off the team. The next day she had to attend class with the same teacher for 2.5 hours. My daughter told me that the teacher had started hurting her. The teacher was grabbing my daughter's hands and wrists during class pretending that she was helping her dance and squeezing her very tightly. . . . I did not let my daughter return. I had to take her to the doctor twice and to urgent care once to have her arms and wrists looked at and to be treated for the bladder infection that was created because her teacher would not allow her to go the bathroom when she needed. The school breached the dance contract by not maintaining the safety of my daughter. The owner e-mailed that she would be returning the rest of my daughter's dance team payments to me after I said that I would not be sending her back. She never sent me anything.

She's learned great gymnastics skills but best of all it's been great for socialization and learning things like waiting turns, following directions, etc. She looks forward to her class each week!! They even offer parents nights out on Fridays twice a week which is awesome and occasionally member events and other perks. They have story times and parties monthly that are themed and seasonal- our girl loves those too!!!! Such a perfect place for toddlers and younger kids!!
