Hi Buffy. There are a couple of studios in Sacramento. I teach at Sacramento Pole Dance Studio in Natomas about 5 minutes north of downtown Sac. There is open studio time during the week. Or give Lisa the owner a call and arrange something…

Five years ago a friend dragged me to class.
When I first saw pole I was confused and messmerized at the same time. My fitness instructor who teaches yoga, spin, group exersise was offering pole dance out of her home. I didn't get it. I thought it was a really strange thing to do. My friend kept bugging me to take a class. Telling me "it's so much fun" while covered in bruises. I thought "hell no."
After I saw my instructor dance a freestyle routine, a ray of light struck. I was instantly hooked! All the pieces came into place. Like a perfect storm. I've danced, competed, performed my all my life in a rich variety of sports and art. Pole makes perfect sense. It's beautiful, difficult and most of all creative. It is never ending therefore you can never be bored. You can reach certain limits but there is always something to improve upon and something new to learn.
The friend is gone and the original teacher is gone but I've kept up with pole and love it. Who wants to run or swim laps and stare at the bottom of a pool for fitness? Not me, I'd rather dance!

My favorite instructors ranked in order by instruction and content: They are all worth every penny and wonderful in their own right. I learned so much from each one. You will not be disappointed by any one of these extraordinary pole stars.

Warm up and light stretching in the beginning and more agressivea stretching at the end of class works best for me. My muscles, ligaments and joints seems more open and receiptive to being pushed then.

Find another studio who is caring and supportive.
I'm not a certified teacher but I'm passionate about pole. I'm consumed with it day and night. When I teach, my goal is to empower women and boost their confidence. I'm not there to intimidate or assume I'm better than anyone else. We have 9 poles in the studio and inevitably you have people at all levels of fitness, strength and abilities when they enter as beginners and more so with the advance, the gaps can be huge. I stick with the basics and add on for those who are ready for the next challenge. If students asks me to "show off" I'll do it but only by request.
Unfortunately, I've witnessed teachers who show off and they do it deliberately and I think it's a shame because it makes others feel inferior and less than. I've seen first time students stand there, mouth open with this look of defeat. Why do you want clients who pay good money to feel like dopes? I don't get it.
