Awesome place for beginners! If you have been thinking about getting into pole or aerial dance, go to Prowess! It is such an amazing community of dancers who are so supportive. The instructors are so fun and really help challenge you in just the right way. Every single person who works here is truly motivated to helping you understand pole and overcome any fear. Whether that's dancing in front of everyone, looking silly or falling. One of the best things I started doing for myself was coming here regularly! One warning: you will become addicted and start twerking randomly for no reason.

We enjoyed a really great private pole class led by Cedric. He made us all feel comfortable with his humor and we all performed simple routines that looked so complicated at first. We were all wonderfully surprised at the routines we ran through due to Cedric's wonderful instruction.

Incredibly friendly and encouraging teachers that give excellent technical explanations and details. Individual poles for each student so your time is very well spent on you and not sharing and watching others. Fantastic resources are available for use provided by the studio including crash mats (extra thick ones), yoga mats, rubbing alcohol and microfiber towels, and more. I absolutely love this place and would recommend it over any other studio I've been to here in the valley.

Love this studio. I went in for a one on one session with Lindsay and she was awesome. The studio is clean and inviting, I was able to clean up some tricks I already knew and learn a couple more. I would give this place all my gold stars.

Cedric was the instructor of the day.
It was really hot in the class and the instructor kept complaining about it. He didn't seem motivated or interested in teaching and was very vague when class asked questions (as if it wasn't a beginner's class). Disappointed with this 1st time experience aside from driving over 20 miles just for this class.

I had my first intro to pole class today at 3. I had lots of fun. We had a sub instructor but she was very awesome and very helpful. I do plan on going back!

Wow. This was a complete and absolute blast. I took an intro class with Cedric A. and he was so energetic and motivating. We did a warm up, followed by some stretches, and then we got comfortable with ourselves and our handy dandy pole. We did some choreographed stuff, starting simply, then adding to it, kinda like that game "Simon" where you have to remember the ever-growing sequence. I forgot at one point, but Cedric was right there with the class so it was easy to pick up and continue. Cedric made me feel completely comfortable and engaged during his instruction, and the way he explained everything was really easy for me to follow. I'm not the most coordinated person on earth, so seeing him perform what we're about to do, then breaking it down, and then repeating it step by step while explaining what to do and where to hold was as easy as 1-2-3! I thought I'd be a pro in no time flat... LOL WRONG NOPE NOT EVEN.
Apparently there's like four or five levels of this stuff at Prowess. Intro was hard... and I lift, bro... Daily. No, this is an entirely new concept of workout. Lots of static holds, which are great for strength training, but instead of remaining stationary, your body is twirling around with this elegant grace. It's really a lot of fun. I liked it so much, I took several more lessons from the studio owner, Lindsay. She is the sweetest instructor I've ever met. I've done martial arts for six years, soccer, basketball, swimming... Lindsay and her instructors are teaching something unlike anything most people have ever done, and they do it with such a simple, fun approach. You progress so fast with how they teach you to do things, and your muscles become conditioned for the movements and with enough practice, you go from this awkward lump to this graceful body artist (well, not me yet, I need more practice!)
I came in one day for open pole to practice what I had learned and there was a level 3 class going on. WOW. I'm a pretty strong dude, but there's no way I can do what those ladies were doing in there (yet). Upside down stuff. Holding themselves up with a leg stuff. I saw two people doing something on the same pole, like, together, like a formation, and my jaw just hit the floor. And that was just level 3! And they were all having a blast, laughing and stuff, seriously this place is like a second home to some of them, you can tell. It's just a crazy warm, loving vibe when you're around everyone, they're like family.
They teach other stuff, too. Lyra, Silks, Chains, Stretching (being 'bendy' is just as important as being strong and conditioned!) and Choreography... Speaking of choreography, the students of Prowess put on a crazy cool performance every two months called "Cirque Saturday". WOW. Even if you're not a student, fantastic to watch. I literally couldn't even with the amazingness. I've gone to like four or five already, I'm seriously hooked! Some of the upper-level students even remember who I am now (Hi Kelsey! Hi Emily!).
If you've been looking for something new and exciting, challenging and fun, and don't want to drag yourself to a gym to deal with "Bros" and "personal trainers" that don't know anything at all, not enough spots to get your workout done in a timely manner, etc... then go to Prowess! If you're serious about training, take the classes and you'll be hooked, breaking a sweat, smiling and laughing and going home sore AF. Totally worth every second! Thank you Prowess Pole Fitness, Cedric, and Lindsay!!!!

The best pole dance studio!
If you are serious about learning pole tricks this is the place to go. Lindsay is a fantastic teacher, so easy to learn from her. You are on the pole learning tricks the entire time after the warm up. I wasted 4 months at another studio where they want you to go to their studio for a year so they only teach you pole for 1/4 the time of the lesson the rest of the time is too much warming up always the exact same (which gets boring) and other sexy dance moves, which I'm not there to learn to dance I want to learn pole tricks.
Also, the other Tempe studio only has 4 poles in a class room and the instructor is on one so you are always taking turns on the pole. At Prowess there are enough poles for everyone in the class.
Additionally, Prowess teaches on spinning 45 mm poles which are the poles that are in competitions. At the other the poles are 50 mm static, which is considered an older style. The 45 mm is so much easier to grip then the bigger 50 mm. I have found it so much easier w/the poles at Prowess and it's great to learn both spinning and static tricks. As you can tell I'm glad I found this studio!

Very few pole studios have polers who tavel to attend pole events, such as conventions/competitions/workshops/showcases. Prowess is one of those studios. The owner, Lindsay Green, has an impressive list of accolades and attended events, including being a Pole Fit by Bad Kitty brand ambassador. Her students and studio are revered nationally and are often the source of inspiration to others. Whether you're planning a tour or just find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in for a class or two. You won't regret it.
