I am vacationing near Westerly, Rhode Island for a week around the fourth of July. Anyone know of a pole studio around there? I would love to try taking a few classes away from home! Anyone know of any????

Hi! I live in Stonington, CT (about 5 min from Westerly) and I teach at The Girl Spot in Trumbull, CT its about an hour and 20 min from Westerly, but other then us that's about it! The web site is: thegirlspotct.com, have fun on your vacation it's real hot here and the beaches are pretty nice!
Nice web page!
Nice web page! (blusing) awww thank you ! i am co-owner of the girl spot. my partner's daughter did the website for us.... woudl LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you at one of our classes while you're in CT 🙂
oh, and by the way -- if you're in Westerly around july 9 and 10 still, Fleur (Amber Richard) is holding workshops at our studio 🙂
I've gotta look into my husband's planned itne.... but I gotta say I am considered somewhat begginner. I have invert to handstand feat. So it has kept me from doing inverted tricks. Gotta a lot of spins down and good dancing for never dancing before- so I assume I am too early for a workshop like that.🙁 ALso gotta say I saw the pusifier video before this thread started and gotta saw it was awesome! My husband is letting me know Trumball is kinda far away:( Sound like it will be fun though!
Aww thanks! 🙂 that was my video, most of the students are beginners so I'm sure you will fit right in! I believe most of the workshops can be tailored to any level and she's also going to do a strength and flexibility class which is great for beginners!
but I gotta say I am considered somewhat begginner actually, the only real requirements you need for the workshops are good basic spins and climb. but yeah, it is about and hour and 20 drive from westerly, so unless you have time to kill, that could be a problem. 🙂
im not sure yet, i know my family is kinda relying on use of our suv rental. none of my inlaws pole that i know of . if it was closer no problem -my husband made a busy iten. BUT, i really want to look into it. how long is a workshop, what time of day, how much. if i had someone going with it would be easier 2 steal away lol. i wonder if there is anything 4 the family 2 do in trumball during that time. any info, ideas.thx

omg, i want 2 go so bad!!!!!!!i called around after i read the workshop reply to find a way and it appears to be cutting our departure plans a little too close , i have actually been trying to find away but it isnt appearing to come together. im sure it will be awesome. thanks for all the info, i would love to visit your studio sometime and the next trip i will demand it! lol it
we will surely look forward to meeting you next time !! i hope you have a great time in westerly -- if you can, try to hit mystic ct for a visit while you are around. it isn't far from westerly at all, and there's a nice aquarium and little village there. cheers !
Right down the street from where I live! If you are looking for anything to do feel free to message me I'll direct you to all the fun stuff!
THX!!!
That trip was awesome! I was right about not being able to steal away from the trip. When there is a lot of in laws and friends it took up a lot of time. But we went to east beach near watch hill a lot, but really The Dunes was where the fun waves were at. We ate at Cove which was yummy! We went to downtown Mystic and had " mystic pizza". We had Friendly's. A few hour visit to Mohegan Sun Casino. We went to the mystic seaport. We visited some extended inlaws for a fam reunion at a lake somewhere. The first day we toured my husband's childhood that included Westerly, Stonington , Mystic, It was hot! Everybody was really nice. There were times I really wanted to steal away though!
