I love taking her intermediate pole classes at the Boulder studio. There's such a friendly community here, with high studio ceilings, long class times, and solid variety on the schedule.

This is an amazing studio. I typically go to the Longmont location as it's closer to my home, but…read morethe Boulder location is amazing. The ceilings are quite high so there is a lot of room to climb, and the studio itself is pretty big so there are lots of poles and floor space available, depending on what class you're taking. The instructors are supportive, kind, and very knowledgeable in what they do. I have always felt welcomed and included in every class, even if I don't know a single person there. If you've ever been curious about this incredible are form, this is a wonderful place to experience it.

I tend to be hard to please when it comes to pole dance classes. Rockstar studio caught my attention after seeing one of their teachers on Instagram. I have attended several other studios in the Denver area and none have been as good as this spot. Every class I have taken in this studio has been great. Knowledgeable teachers, friendly, welcoming students and an amazing staff! They have a great mix of technical classes where you can learn pole tricks as well as "flow" classes where you can learn dance choreography and most of them have that "sensual" vibe that a pole class SHOULD have and so many places lack! No matter where you are in your pole journey I definitely recommend that you check this place out! You will absolutely love it.

Thankful to the receptionist because I was running late (Uber) since it's bad class etiquette to be late, but I had to do paperwork when I arrived even though I had already filled it out online. This made me more late. Real, the instructor, was great & she has legs for days lol. She invited me to take class the next day, but I had concert plans. I learned a piece that's been retaught, but didn't mind it since it was my 1st "chairography" class, but I've taken sexy/heels classes before. I was heels-less because I didn't pack any, but shoes weren't required. I enjoyed the warm-up, choreography, tricks, & extra time at the end. "Tease me please".

The owner or manager of this location was a former girl scout and was very excited to do a class for them. She was able to work with the time that we had available. She was very easy to work with and accomodating. Day of class, the girls thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Their teacher did a fantastic job working with my boisterous group of high schoolers. They had a blast. Learned a few skills. And took lots of pictures! They had SO much fun! I will be back! I am going to set up a class for a womens group in the future for silks and pole dancing. And my daughter might do some silks classes over the summer months while her climbing classes are on hiatus.

The intro series is a continuous series of 4 classes. It's really nice to have the same instructor and the same group of people in the class every week, which helps build confidence and camaraderie. We all got through the first class in slightly awkward silence, but by the fourth class we were laughing, joking around, and dancing freely. Luckily our instructor, Molly, was super lighthearted and funny, and she made everyone feel much more at ease. I definitely left each class with sore arms. Pole dancing is no joke! And as someone with no dance background, it was sometimes difficult to not look totally awkward transitioning between moves. I definitely have a lot of work to do, so I'm excited to try out the Beginner class.

I have tried a beginner/intermediate pole dance, fitness class and a twerk shop class at the studio…read moreand loved both so much that I am ecstatic to continue taking classes here. The instructors are welcoming, and non-judgmental of people without dance backgrounds. Each class is accommodating of all levels. What I love about this type of dance studio is that it is a place for freedom of expression and confidence building. Even though it may be out of many peoples, comfort, zones, Pole dance classes have the power to empower. The studio is small with one studio/pole dance room so only one class goes on at a time. Just passed the studio, there is an area with cubbies to store your belongings, a small bathroom, and a small lounge area with seating. The studio was incredibly clean And the studio floors were immaculate. In addition to the regular scheduled classes, the studio also offers occasional workshops. They have an upcoming striptease/lap dance workshop.

Kate Laviolette is one of the most greediest peopoe I've ever met. Also, she never paid me for what…read moremy small fox painting had sold for. She held onto it for me because I didn't have anywhere to put it since I was sleeping out of my car at the time. She said someone bought it, but she never paid me for it, so who knows what happened. A few years ago, I would regularly go to classes and it was enjoyable. There were a couple experiences where it gave me a uncomfortable feeling about her. We did a hiking session together. Nobody showed up but me, so she and I went. I thought it was nice, but noticed that when she wanted to take a picture with me, it was just for her socials so her image would look good. Then not too long after that, there was a art event at the studio which I paid and went to. I figured it was just an art show but there was more to it. At the time, I struggled a lot more when it came to crowds. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, have fun, and to see what it was all about. I brought my sketch book to draw and I also joined in the audience to watch the aerial show (I think it was) even though I thought it was an art show. I got intense anxiety and overwhelm (probably from the energy from being in a crowd or certain people), so I left and cried in the car. I had texted Kate and told her what happened, but she didn't care. Kept my money too. Was only there for 15 or 20 minutes. So overall, these experiences showed me how greedy and fake she was. I start going back in November because I'm getting back into shape and I wanted to try the aerial classes again, but I can't afford very much, so I go with the 5 class plan for $59. My mom is the one that even helped me and I told her that. I completed the classes (except for one which I was not feeling that day, but I already showed up, so no sense in trying to get another class). I was not planning on going again (a couple of people including an instructor found that out by asking me questions) because I wanted to continue at a gym since my main focus ended up being working out/exercising. The gym is what is beneficial for me. I felt aerial yoga wasn't. Besides this reason, I didn't feel fully welcome and the instructors were not patient (my coordination is poor) except for one, but I forgot her name, I'm sorry. I came to find this past Tuesday night that my account was charged by the studio and my account was at 97 cents. I texted Kate personally. You can see the whole conversation plus more in the screenshot photos for yourselves. Which includes her trying to offer a partial refund through Venmo which is outside of her business. If she can offer that, then she could've just given me my refund. Acted fake by throwing in "we've enjoyed having you here" to again be careful as a business owner and her reputation. I emailed her because I kept checking my account on the studio website, since it kept saying my plan wasn't canceled yet and it had already been a whole day. So I told her to close my account and to refund me, or I'm going to report her and THEN she finally decided to cancel it. She also told me she would refund my original payment, but she only did a partial refund of $38 out of $59. She lied and is clearly greedy. Making it into a whole complex mess, when it couldve just been played out smoothly. She blocked me after I told her to not respond back to my text or she did after my email, I'm not sure, but I'll be spreading all this information around everywhere. I made a post about it on my Facebook and someone mentioned that they've heard of this situation happening a lot at this studio and what happened to one of their clients, so that didn't surprise me.

Our instructor was nothing but encouraging and patient. She took us through a nice warm up to basic moves to loosen us up.
