Best Dance Studio near Arlington-heights, Illinois

Fun, friendly, and inclusive! I love learning to dance here! The instructors are encouraging and everyone is so supportive. :) pole really builds your strength and confidence and I've made so many wonderful friends here! I look forward to class all week!

Disclaimer: I have known the owner for many years, but I wouldn’t post a good review unless I meant it. This studio is a super positive, encouraging and drama-free space. I have taken pole, fitness classes and workshops here. All of the instructors are amazing. I love coming to class every week to exercise my body and interact with my fellow students. This is the most welcoming and warm fitness place I’ve ever been to, thanks to the awesome staff and ownership. Update 6/7 months later: I have been taking the Flex Conditioning class more or less weekly. Changes I and others have seen: straighter posture and a little more flexibility overall. When I started the class my spine was so curved that I needed a yoga block to support my head/neck when l was laying on my back on the floor. Now if I wear my hair in a bun, that’s enough support and before long I will be able to lay on my back without any head/neck support at all. I have a sedentary job and that has taken a tremendous toll on my body over the years. So this is HUGE.

I love this studio! The pole dancing class is both fun and a great workout. Every class I attend makes me feel great about myself--I am more comfortable in my skin and trust my body in a way I never have before. All 3 pole dancing instructors bring their own flavor of teaching and are uber supportive/encouraging. Even the fellow students are a pleasure to be around and do their best to prop each other up, not shoot each other down. I can't gush enough about this place!! Update 2022: I love the studio so much I trained to become an instructor and am still a teacher and student there.

I cannot say enough good things about Studio Phoenix. I was extremely nervous to take pole class. The instructor was so talented, and very helpful. She made the class soooo fun and relaxing. The class is a lot of fun and you definitely get a great workout. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at the front desk offered a lot of information and help. The studio is very accommodating with lockers and complimentary water. Definitely excited to start taking classes next month.

I took a class here when I was visiting from out of town and was welcomed with open arms! The studio and staff are so lovely and I had a great time learning from a new instructor. It's a little difficult to discern what level you're at but a simple call to the front desk cleared that right up. The class I took was a Level 6/9 which means the class was a mix of both levels but there's always something you can learn form watching other students who are more or less experienced than you. The instructor spends a lot of individual time with each student so if you're learning something new, there isn't any fear of attempting it on your own. You'll be well supported by both the instructor and the rest of the class. I really loved the familial and communal feeling of class where everyone cheered everyone on and celebrated each others' successes - whether you're learning to invert or just a basic dip turn. The way the curriculum is structured to help student progress is really helpful and I could see students becoming more and more advanced through their courses here. I would love to come back for a longer period of time to really go through their curriculum. Can't wait to go back!
