You Didn't Come Here For Push-Ups.
Pole 101 — The Series That Started It All
You came because you want to feel something. Good in your skin. Strong in your body. Like yourself again — maybe for the first time in years.
Maybe even a little sexy.
Maybe the gym never stuck because it felt like punishment with no progress. Maybe life got busy. Maybe you watched a pole video and thought "what if" — and you've been thinking it ever since.
Or maybe you've been putting yourself last for a while and you're just sick of it.
Whatever the reason, we got you.
Over the years we've trained thousands of women. Every size, every age, every woman who walked through that red door thinking she couldn't do this.
They all could. So can you.
That's not luck. That's the method.

What to Expect
Four Weeks.
From Beginner to Badass.
Pole 101 is a four-week series — same day, same time, same crew. Each class builds on the last. By week four, you'll be pulling off moves you didn't think your body could do. Here's how it goes:
week
Foundation & First Moves
We get you on the pole from day one. Technique, posture, and the exotic movement foundation everything else is built on. You'll leave knowing what your body is capable of — and with sexy homework to keep the vibe going before next week.
week
The Shift
You'll notice things getting easier — that's not luck, that's the method working. New material, more confidence, and the women around you going through the exact same thing.
week
Now You're Dancing
This is the week it starts feeling like you. The nervous energy is gone. What's left is something that looks a lot like confidence.
week
Garter Day
You tie it all together. Then you graduate — officially a PoleKitten. Your white garter is waiting. So is the victory cupcake.
What to Wear & Bring
Pack Light.
Wear Less.
Pole fitness requires skin contact with the pole for grip — but you don't need shorts on day one. Wear leggings for the first two classes while you get comfortable. By week three you'll need shorts (we'll tell you exactly what kind).
Here's what to bring and what to skip.
DO
- Sports bra or tank top — you need your arms free
- Leggings for weeks 1 and 2, booty shorts by week 3 — we'll walk you through it
- Bare feet — heels come later, once you've earned them
- Kneepads or leg warmers — optional but your knees will thank you
- Hair tie — and maybe learn the hair flip while you're at it
- Water — you're going to work up a sweat
DON'T
- Lotion — anywhere on your body, day of class. Ashy beats injured.
- Rings, bracelets, watches — the poles can damage your jewelry
- Oils or body butters — even if you think it absorbed. It didn't.
- Street shoes — barefoot only for beginners
- Excuses — we don't have a lost-and-found for those
Questions We Hear Every Day
Just Ask Us.
Do I need to be fit or a good dancer?
No and no. We specialize in first-timers — it's genuinely what we're best at. You need exactly two things: your body and the willingness to show up. We handle the rest.
Am I too old / too heavy / too inflexible?
We specialize in first-timers — every body type, every fitness level, every age. The pole doesn't care about your excuses and neither do we. In the best possible way.
Do I have to wear heels?
Beginner classes are barefoot, always. Heels come later — with proper instruction on how to actually move in them. We love our Pleasers, but we love not sending you home with a sprained ankle more.
What if I miss a class in the series?
Life happens. Cancel through the booking system at least 24 hours ahead and we'll credit you a make-up class — good for any drop-in within 30 days. Use it for Pole Tricks & Conditioning to catch up on what you missed, or for Pole Dance & Flow if you just need to move.
If something comes up and you can't make the drop-in either, cancel through the system within the same window and the credit goes back into your account.
Is this just for women?
PoleKittens is a women-only studio — a genuine sexy sisterhood. It's part of what makes this place work. When you walk through that red door, it's all yours.
Where are you located? Is parking easy?
We're at 4719 Vine St, Cincinnati, OH 45217 in St. Bernard — look for the red door. Free municipal parking is directly across the street. Head upstairs, above Wigland. You'll know you found the right place.
What happens after Pole 101?
A lot of doors open.
You can keep going through the series — Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 (where heels happen), and into our intermediate and advanced multi-level classes. Or you can drop into our weekly classes: Pole Tricks & Conditioning to keep building skills, or Pole Dance & Flow for the dance, not the tricks.
Most women do both. Our nine-level garter system means there's always a next challenge and a next reward.
Most women come in thinking they'll try one series. Most are still here years later.
The Red Door
Is Waiting.
You've been thinking about this long enough. Thousands of women just like you walked through that door and never looked back. You're next.
