GENTLE
60 min
Specially designed for dancers wishing to get the workout and experience at a less demanding fitness level, this class will increase strength, flexibility, and most importantly confidence. Don’t be shy… this class is for you!
CHAIR

Think Burlesque meets Pussy Cat dolls…then add a crazy core and leg workout that you can take home with you.
CARDIO
45 min
This class is great for students looking for a fun workout on their lunch breaks, or an after-work sweat. Only 45 minutes long, we cut right to the chase and we keep moving the whole time. Get your heart rate up, but forget about boring treadmills: This is a non-stop dance party!
BURLESQUE
60 min
We’ll use props and costumes that create a vintage atmosphere and pair it to music from the Gatsby era. Top hats, pasties, boas and garters, oh my! And of course the timeless art of the striptease!
NEWBY
Prerequisite: Intro to Pole Dancing or to students with previous Pole Dancing experience
NEWBY POLE DANCING
60 min
A combination of choreography and spins broken down and mastered, the class is
the basic foundation for all the other classes.
Once students have mastered this class, they will be graduated into
Beginner level Pole Dancing by their instructors.
NEWBY ROCK 'N' POLE
60 minutes - $25
Newby Pole Dancing with a little extra hair whipping, and a lot more volume!
Wear your favourite band t-shirts, send us some heavy song requests and get ready to rock!
NEWBY FLOOR
60 minutes - $25
If you’d like to prepare for the beginner level choreography, floor work will put you ahead of the game. This class is dedicated to knee rolls, crawls drops and climbs. We do not recommend participating in this class before purchasing a pair of knee pads. They can be found at any sports apparel store in the volleyball section.
*This class is the pre-requisite for Group Floor, which we do with our Pleasers on.
NEWBY SHOES
45 minutes - $20
So you’ve been Pole Dancing and you’re comfortable performing on your tippy-toes...
The next step is throwing on a pair of Pleasers, the Pole Dancing and Strip Club shoe standard! This class will teach the fundamental technique required for Pole Dancing in heels.
If you don’t have a pair of Pleasers or know what Pleasers are, we highly recommend browsing through their website and checking out the hundreds of different styles they offer at www.pleasers.com.
We have a couple extra pairs of heels at the studio that you’re welcome to borrow, or you can bring your own pair from home - just make sure that they’ve been cleaned and that they have a big platform at the front; regular heels are too hard to dance in, and something you’ll learn in Shoes class, is that the shape of your heels actually effects the way we pole dance!
Not sure if your shoes will work? Send us a pic and we’ll let you know!
*This class is the pre-requisite for Group Shoes and must be completed before attending any classes in Pleasers.
*Knee pads are encouraged
NEWBY EXOTIC
60 minutes -$25
There is NO better way to work up a sweat than twerking to Cardi B?
Exotic Pole brings additional SEXY choreography into your regular Pole Dancing class. We slow it down and go for that strip club vibe, so go ahead, release your inner hustler!!
Feel free to dress however you like, if that means fishnets, regular gym clothes, short skirts, corsets, or full blown strip club attire!
We will always do this class in low lighting and allow some time for styling with you if you're not sure what to wear. PLEASE send us your 'stripper' song requests, as this makes the class SO much more fun for you!
