I was following the dollhouse on Instagram for a while, waiting for them to reopen after the lockdown.
The best decision I made was to start taking their classes.
I always feel welcomed at the studio, never judged.
It was hard to believe in a place where you can feel like that surrounded by dancing women, but here it is.
Go try some classes and see for yourself.

I've been taking classes at The Dollhouse Fitness for years now, and I can honestly say that there has never been a single reason for me to want to check out another pole studio.
Dollhouse has always had a variety of classes that are regularly switched up, and has offered different public and private events that keep the studio always feeling fresh and new.
When quarantine kicked in, they began to offer (and still do) amazing real-time online classes and workshops with well-known pole artists from around the world, as well as a vault of pre-recorded classes/tutorials. These days they offer both

I joined this studio a few months ago and I'm in LOVE with it! I have learned so much in just a short time, the teachers are all very helpful in learning techniques and where to place your hands and feet. If I'm having a bad day it immediately gets better after a class at Dollhouse. My favorite classes are tricks and dance, where you have choreography with a song. I highly recommend Dollhouse over other studios as they really care about seeing you progress and feels like family.

So I started going to Dollhouse about two months ago and it has been incredible. If you are looking for a supportive community and a fun way to workout, then look no further. Every instructor I have had the pleasure of taking classes with thus far are super knowledgeable and they are your number one hype(wo)man! And no, you don’t have to have prior dancing experience, or a pair of 7” heels, to take classes. Pole dance is definitely for everybody.

My first class was at 50 years old and how I'm wish I would have started in my 20's! I sometimes leave with tears in my eyes from the gratitude and pure joy I feel from the studio and and the deep love I have for being in my childlike self and sexy self all at once! Thank you Dollhouse family for your loving care of each of us!

This place is great. I went alone for my first class and I was nervous as hell and thought about running away. I am so glad that I didn't, they were so nice and welcoming from the first step into the studio. I had so much fun with the first class that I was hooked. They really do treat you like family. They are very professional as well and make sure you feel comfortable and are safe.

This studio has my heart!! I signed up for their new client special which offers unlimited classes for two weeks (amazing deal). I completely fell in love with the space, it is so clean and absolutely stunning. Truly such a beautiful studio. Every instructor i've met is beyond talented & loving. There is so much love and sanctity within this studio, truly a safe haven. The energy of everyone who attends is so open & safe. There are no sticky or competitive feelings whatsoever, it's truly not even a thought upon entering. The classes that are offered are all so unique. I was there

I love coming here. With all the stresses in life, coming to the dollhouse you feel this weight lifted off your shoulders. Unless you're in one of Andrea's classes then you'll probably be shifting the weight between your shoulders. I absolutely love all of Andrea's classes I'm probably biased to say that because she's who I take most of my classes with. But Tricks and Acrobatic Basework with her are my absolute favorites! Everyone is so supportive of one another and uplifting. I was obsessed from my first class I immediately got the six month membership, and go as

5/5 Hands down the best dance studio I've ever attended!
The community and environment is everything when choosing a gym. The girls are so encouraging and supportive! Not just the instructors either, but the other more experienced girls are also so uplifting. It's very encouraging and really makes me feel like my goals are attainable (I'm very new to this and I've never thought I'd be able to climb a pole). I can't say enough good things about everything I've experienced here.
One of the best qualities of this studio is how much fun they have during the sessions

The dollhouse has been my home away from home for the past almost three years! dollhouse is a thriving community of empowered women who support and love each other. it is a place to grow strong, flexible, and graceful, both inside and outside. the clientele is predominantly women, but rarely there are co-ed series. it is a studio that is extremely progressive, LGBT+ friendly, and loving. if you're looking for your new support system, trying to get swole, dabbling in dance, or some or all of the above, come join our pole fam!

Traci has built a beautiful and welcoming space for anyone who wants to dance, sweat, express themselves, have fun, and feel sexy without stigma. The supportive instructors are meticulously trained to effectively impart their knowledge, and push you hard while also being mindful of providing modifications for every skill level and current injury. Needless to say, I love being here!

I took classes there. It gets hot, sweaty, and stuffy, they only have this one small miserable floor fan in the back corner which the never really turn on either. So if you're hot you're screwed, you'll have to smell the sweat odor! You'd think they would have an AC unit since this is a small DANCE STUDIO, no windows or fresh air coming in from any direction. Unnaceptable.
The membership runs about $200 a month. Also, for the most part you will share a pole with another girl. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT ENJOY SHARING SWEATY POLES. Classes are one hour so that means you get to use

Ok so, let me start out by saying if you're even considering coming here, just tune out any negativity or insecurity screaming at you, get in your car, and come here ASAP!
I found this place when I was at one of my lowest points in my life. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how I even found this place but I'm EXTREMELY happy I did. I got in my car and I just showed up.
Traci, the owner, was the first person to greet me, and she was nothing short of kind, sweet, and welcoming. I signed up for my first class and before I knew it I was hooked. All of the instructors are flippin

Best fitness studio you could ever go to because not only will you get a killer (and super fun) workout, but it's SOOO much more than that! I've never been surrounded by more lively, supportive and overall awesome women. When I'm having a crappy day or have been out of town for an extended period, I know popping in for class will instantly perk me up. Every teacher has their own style and forte, which always keeps classes new and challenging.
One of my favorite aspects are the optional, seasonal shows that the studio puts on. You get to dance with the same group for 6-8 weeks and

I've been dancing here for 4 years! This dance studio is one of the best in the country! Traci has an amazing reputation in the pole community for creating a fun, judgement-free, friendly and feminine environment. I've pole danced all over the world and what sticks out about this place is it's less about tricks and more about dancing.... As Roxanne (instructor) says "You're not just dancing, Your body is interpreting the music." I love that. The community is so loving and supportive and the showcases are always so memorable!!! Can't recommend this place enough
