- Omg, I can’t move. My muscles seriously got the most intense workout with Jamayka. I asked for it though. Told her that my inverts rely a lot on kicking my leg up to hook around the pole rather than relying on my muscle strength. So Jamayka had me do lots of strength conditioning so I can build arm and ab muscles.The class I attended only had 4 students – one for each pole. There was no specific class agenda which may be a turn off for some but I actually liked it because we all had different levels of experience with the pole. So at the beginning of the class, Jamayka asked each one of us what we would like to work on. She would spend some time with each student to work on a specific trick, then let you practice on your own while she rotated around to the other students. It was like a semi-private lesson.

I was impressed by the studio space alone. I would actually rank Evolve as one of the top designed pole dance studios out of the ones I’ve been to. Located on the second floor, four shorter poles on one side of the room and four taller poles on the other side. Lounge area in the middle while you wait for classes to start. Lots of natural light coming in from the large tinted window (so perverted passerby’s can’t see you spinning around on a pole.)

I also had the opportunity to take a Bellydance class. Fun workout for the abs! Shimmy shimmy shimmy

I would like to come back and take more pole classes here. Prices are pretty competitive and I LOVE their studio space!

My advice for getting the most out of your experience at Evolve: Commit to at least 5-8 classes.  Pole is very challenging and many people struggle at first.  Be on time, because the classes do start on time, and the warm up is very important in building the strength & flexibility you need for dancing.  Try different classes and instructors to find the best fit.  I have seen some negative comments here about an instructor that is my favorite.  The teacher / student relationship is personal.  Everyone has different preferences.  Most important: work hard, stay focused, and keep practicing.

If you are serious about dancing, this is the best choice.  I started out with a serious lack of coordination and flexibility and I have truly evolved into a dancer!

- Fun workout! I enjoyed the sensual classes…Made me feel sexier and the “lap dance” class is awesome! yeah yeah I know anyone can give a lapdance but dude taking a class for it, WOW! It’s the little things that make a BIG difference!!!
