Best fitness decision I have ever made!!! As a software engineer I can say that I personally love a challenge and specially problems I don't know the answer to! So pole dancing was perfect for me :). Every day in class I learn new tricks and then I have to work hard to get them just right!

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jun 2017

Michelle is not only a great instructor but has so great energy and does not make you feel uncomfortable!!! Definitely a 10/10!!! It was a group private party and it was such a great vibe. I learned how to spin, go upside down, and more great things!!

★★★★★ — Jaela, May 2026

Don’t miss this wonderful place. Michelle was fantastic! So energetic, natural and a great teacher. We were engaged the entire time and had the best time. Our room was set up special for our bachelorette. Can’t wait to come back for a class.

Your first barre class at Work It Dance and Fitness

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
