Big thanks to my new friends here ! I could not have felt more welcomed and safe than I did last night. The studio itself is a bit tucked away and hidden in an old industrial building but prior to arriving the studio sent an email with a helpful video! Additionally, I didn't know the best class to drop into because I have been poling for a year but I messaged the studio and they recommended the "level" that would best fit me. So thanks again! I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Cleveland! Ps plan to take the stairs! read more

Accessibility note: Cleveland Eclectic Dance is located inside a very old building. Expect to take the stairs to the 5th floor. There is an old-school freight warehouse elevator, and if you haven't been properly trained on how to use it, don't try. Call ahead and tell them you need help with it when you get there. If you come here more than once, its best to learn how to use it directly from them. I'm updating my review to reflect the transition from virtual classes to in-person classes. Cleveland Eclectic Dance is still fantastic! Their studio spaces have high ceilings, large windows, a big open concept and plenty of room to spread out safely. The minute you walk in, the instructor will warmly greet you and make you feel like part of the CED family. The best thing about Cleveland Eclectic Dance is that its a very supportive, loving and fun environment. My small dance class was an eclectic mix of all ages, ethnicities, body types and skill levels (which I loved). The instructor was equally attentive, accepting and welcoming to everyone, especially me as a newbie. I am so incredibly impressed with all of the wonderful women that run this studio! They genuinely care about your experience and want you to have an empowering, fun, and supported time learning new things and loving yourself as you are. read more

CED provides opportunities to acquire new skills or continue refining and developing dance and performance capabilities. The studio staff and participants are supportive of all regardless of size, shape, personal goals and experience levels. Classes are available both online and in-studio; and both formats allow participants to benefit from the instructors' attentiveness. The costs are reasonable considering the instructors' expertise. The variety of skills offered - pole, fitness, burlesque, lyra, choreography - allow individuals to learn and combine techniques to develop their portfolio. read more

Had an amazing time with friends doing a burlesque workshop led by Eliza Sidecar. Such a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves while having fun. I would highly recommend trying out a class with Eliza! read more

Cleveland Eclectic Dance is the Mecca of sexy, fun, body positivity, love and empowerment. I inquired online about private dance lessons and received a warm and prompt response. They asked me great questions and really listened to what I was looking for. I started a couple of weeks ago with Roxi and let me tell you the woman is amazing. I have so much fun, and I have learned so much. I feel so wonderful after our lessons and motivated to do better! This is the place you want to be whether it be for private or group lessons whatever. Check them out, I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

I absolutely love this place, and everything it has become over the years. I have seen weak and timid people walk through the doors, then after just a few months of classes they blossom into confident and strong superheros! Do yourself a favor and take that class you've always wanted to. It will change your life, promise. read more

Cleveland Exotic Dance is my sexy safe haven! Roxi, Eliza and the whole squad really know how to get your heart pumping while making you feel sexy. This is going on my second year of taking pole/burlesque. I always leave the studio glowing with pride because I shimmied (tried to) up that pole or perfected my showgirl pose! You leave feeling better about your body and how it moves in various tantalizing ways. I take the 100 steps (there is an elevator tho) to get to the cool warehouse studio cause it jump starts my heart and preps my butt for jiggling! Be it in studio (very clean & safe even before Covid) or by Zoom, the classes are freaking fantastic fun. Check it out ....Tell them Honey B. Harlot sent you. read more

I atarted my pole journey here 10 years ago and CED keeps getting better and better. There is a video on their website explaining how to enter, it CAN be a bit confusing but once you watch that its very clear. The space is gorgeous and they offer tons of variety of classes. All the instructors are very welcoming and willing to help you . it feels like a family. read more

This place is absolutely great! I did a beginners Pole class with my adult daughter and my cousin we had a complete ball. I also did a private party with my girls trip group and we had great time too! During covid they even offered discounted virtual classes. Really cool people teaching, they have all been open and welcoming. read more

The staff has always made it a priority to make students feel safe and welcome. Since the pandemic, they have included new classes and have worked hard to include online and in person classes simultaneously. They never cut corners with safety, including masks, distancing, and disinfecting. If I want to drop in for an in person class, I just have to plan ahead :) I have always had an amazing experience here, and now I feel more motivated since I can take classes at home! read more

CED has been amazing for me! They make me feel so comfortable with my body and have taught me to love it for what it can do. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

I took a couple of pole classes here and really enjoyed myself. I thought I might feel intimidated but everyone made me feel really comfortable. I am hoping to sign up for some more permenant classes when finances allow. read more

I was in town for work and there was a workshop going on. I decided to sign up. The location is really hard to find being in a warehouse/warehouse elevator. Being new to the studio and from out of state it would have been nice if someone had come down to help me find my way up. I called for instructions but it was difficult and I had no idea how to work the elevator. I took the stairs and couldn't get in because the door was locked from the outside. I managed by waiting for another to show up and help me find the way. Once up there I was left standing for a while and was asked what I needed. It wasn't a warm welcoming being new to the studio. The workshop was amazing and I loved the studio space with wood floors, brick, and large windows. They have a great array of classes and offer more alternative classes than many studios do. Great place but didn't feel welcome not being a local or regular student. read more

What a nice group of students and instructors! Not once did we feel like out-of-towners. 2 friends and I drove from PA to attend a Pole Workshop with Pole Icon Josiah Grant BADAZZ who came all the way from L.A. Not only did the workshop rock, but we loved how motivated everyone was, how supportive they were to one another and noticed how smooth their dancing was (surely a product of tentative instructors and determined students). The studio atmosphere and store selection was quite enjoyable. Most certainly, we will be back. read more
