The Pole Garage is a fantastic studio for women looking to learn pole dancing as beginners! They focus on an incredibly thoughtful and well-crafted, progressive-learning curriculum for beginner level dancers, which gives the students the right conditioning and instruction to bring them through to an intermediate to advanced level. The beginner classes are structured so that each week builds on the next, with session classes lasting 6 to 8 weeks per section. Once all beginner and intermediate sessions have been completed, dancers can then move into the open advanced classes and opt for different curriculum, like Pole Work or Transitions and Dance. There are a couple of mixed level classes each week, but most are either the session classes (open only to session students at that level - most classes are exclusive to that group of session students, scheduled for that time) or the advanced classes.
Classes begin with a stretching and calisthenic style warm up designed to build conditioning that aids in pole dance (think lunges, stretching of shoulders and legs, ab work out, etc). The teachers take care fo welcome new students and each student is given one-on-one attention through the class. Class size is kept small (fewer than 12 people per class), and there are five 45mm poles available.
Parking is accessed through the alley between 19th and 20th streets, accessible from the eastbound side of Olympic. Head to the end of the alley and turn left up the ramp, then park in the small lot at the top - or park at the meters on Olympic and walk up. You can also be buzzed in from the front of the building, on 20th. The studio is intimate, with real hardwood floors and red lighting. It creates a lovely atmosphere.
This is a great place if you're not crazy about the insane competitive tricks, and just looking for a solid foundation in pole and a great group of women.
