How do I sign up for a class?

What should I wear to class? Should I wear heels?

For pole dance classes, you should wear shorts (something like a boy shorts cut), a tank top and a sports bra. It may feel weird to wear so little clothing at first but you need to have a lot of skin exposed in order to stick to the pole. Fabric will slide off the pole. You can purchase shoes, shorts, sports bras, and grip aid in the studio as well.

For grounded, aerial and flexibility classes, you should wear fitted tank top and leggings that cover the backs of the knees and torso. This will help avoid burns caused by friction with the silks or hoop.

What is your class cancellation policy?

You can easily cancel a class online 12 hours in advance and keep your class credit. For cancellations with less than 12 hours notice, your class will be forfeited. Most of our classes sell out so this policy is to ensure fairness and access to classes. Note that this class cancellation policy is strict. All unlimited members who late cancel will be charged an additional $10 late cancel fee.

I’m new/experienced to pole/aerial arts. Which class should I take?

All new pole students should start with Intro classes so that they get the proper foundation and pole/aerial technique training. New pole students can also drop into Pole Choreography, Flexibility, Open Pole, Chair Dancing, and Flexibility classes. New aerial students should attend Intro to Silks or Intro to Lyra.

If you have never taken class at Lotus Fitness Studio before, note our new student special 3 class pack for $45

Are men allowed in classes?

Of course! We encourage all genders and body types to join!

Do I need a dance background?

No. Some of the best aerialists today have zero dance background! You will learn everything you need to know in class. Start with Intro classes and from there you can work your way up to more advanced classes. You can also take our conditioning classes, flexibility classes, and choreography-dance classes to round out your training.

Do I need to be in shape to take class?

Our classes are for people of all fitness levels, shapes, sizes and genders. Period. If you are big, mid-sized or little, you can attend class.

How does the waitlist work?

If you are waitlisted for a class, you must pay in advance to be added to the waitlist. You will receive an email and/or text, (if you signed up for text notifications), if you are added in to class off of the waitlist. If class fills and you do not get into a class that you have been waitlisted for, you will maintain your class credit for future use on your account.
