Our class was originally scheduled for 10:30 am, but our instructor was very accommodating when we requested the class to be pushed to 11 am the night before (we were out on the town & thought we may need an extra 30 minutes that morning). The routine planned for us was easy enough for beginners, but challenging enough at the same time. Our instructor was AMAZING! She was patient, inspiring, and so much fun! Watching her demo we were all awestruck! Each of us raved about our experiences & plan to take another class the next time we visit Asheville!

I've dealt with disassociation from my body for decades and DanceClub is where I have found my way back to her. I've never had so much fun in my whole life. You can know when I'm taking a class because I can't stop giggling with joy. I have found so much growth in diving into my sensuality, in doing things I never imagined I'd have the strength for, and simply being myself and no one else. No one is watching to judge, only to cheer you on. I had a breakthrough the other day when I didn't believe I could climb the pole. I admitted my brain was telling me that I wasn't the sort of person that can do these things. I had tears in my eyes and before I knew it I was surrounded by the other girls in the class cheering me on...and I did it! Forever grateful for this family. If you're on the fence about coming, let me push you to the other side!

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!

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!

My girlfriend has been an aerialist for 4-5 years now and I've only taken one class before but we knew we'd love it. I figured if I couldn't manage any of the moves well, at least I could provide comic relief, right? The other young lady in our group was an Asheville local who just started lessons a month and a half ago, so between us there were many skill levels represented. Being a compact space, there are only four silk stations available so we had the privilege of watching the instructor on a set of silks as well. Carly lead us through a stretching warm up before we practiced with the silks. When Carly saw what we were able to manage she would add to it, varying the tasks for each of us as we all had wildly different strengths and weaknesses. The music was fun, Carly was patient and had wonderful verbal cues as well as demonstrating for me when the verbal clues left me scratching my head. I wish I lived closer and could build my upper body strength and enjoy this unique workout more often. It was hard and fun and two days later my shoulders and back are still sore but I'd go back tomorrow if I could! Now, where is my Cirque du Soleil contract???

Um. I love this place. If I had the power to teleport, you better believe this is one of the places…read moreI'd hit up very, very frequently! (As often as my bruised limbs could allow. The lyra really digs into you, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and doubling up on fabric would probably also be pretty helpful. I'd been itching to take either a pole class or an aerial silks/lyra class for ages, and since I plan my travels around food and awesome fitness classes (priorities, right?), I definitely had to make a stop here before leaving Asheville! I called beforehand to make sure that it was okay for me to take the aerial lyra class, and the lady I spoke to was really helpful and friendly. (I'd only taken one class before, and that was quite unfortunately back in early 2012, so uh...it's been a while!) ...But my goodness, this was a super fun class! Evan was our instructor, and there was only one other student, so we started the class off with a light warmup, and then jumped right in. Evan was really good about explaining everything, and also in evaluating where we were at so that he could tailor the class to our level. We took turns going through a sequence and learning how to clean it up and make it look pretty + fluid. He was also really great about giving us pointers and cues, which was definitely helpful when we were puzzling out a couple of the moves. All in all, super super fun, and I really hope to come back to Asheville at some point again to visit, and so I can take more classes here! The handbalancing class that Evan teaches looks like a lot of fun, and I'd love to take more aerial lyra (+ silks!) classes!
