Tease Dance & Fitness is my happy "me" place. I'll start with the objectives for those trying to get an understanding of the studio, and then i'll mention the subjectives of why I wouldn't go anywhere else.
This particular studio focuses on strength and abilities. The classes are taught in succession of levels. Each class is 90 minutes long and begins with a stretch/meditation, then a section of strength-conditioning. You'll spend a portion of class learning new tricks/moves and then a portion learning how to integrate those into a dance. Each instructor will tailor every class for each student, modifying to make things more or less advanced as needed. It's common to move up in levels with the same classmate, creating a community of strong women. Some studios are more "sexy". This studio focuses on strengths, confidence, beauty AND sexiness. Here we are goofy, fun, sexy and strong, all in balance and comfort. Here, you are...you.
I have been going to Tease for 18 months, now. Part of me wishes I would have written the review the day I started, but perhaps it's better testament that nothing about what I would write then, has changed now. The classes keep me in shape, physically, and the staff and other dancers keep me in shape emotionally. The investment in yourself, even for 90 mins each week, yields returns like no other. I am happy, healthy, strong and confident. I came to Tease to improve my confidence, not even owning shorts, and now i am so proud of what I can do, that I can't even stop to judge myself for what I can't.
I am grateful for my courage to try Tease and grateful for the strength and confidence Tease has helped me to discover about...
Read more2 years of long awaited review :) I like to leave a review once I feel I have the collective experience not just single. I can say that my experience has been consistent with Tease Dance Aurora.
I first took an Intro to Pole with Lynzhi (love how her name is spelled). Great personality (not extra). I loved how I experienced myself in the class and my interaction with Lynzhi, I signed up for Signature Pole 1 series.
I met a new instructor Marissa K (she’s currently not there anymore). I loved her style and personality. I signed up for Pole 2 of her class, but had to withdraw for medical reason. They refunded my money no question.
I love it here. Everyone is kind and my experience even with different people had been consistent. That’s important to me.
Today I took these photos and Kathrina whom I met for the first time was just as genuine.
The place is always clean and organize. I see Lynzhi clean all the time and she’s the Manager there. Never above anyone. I emailed her asking about classes and she even remembers me 2 years later. The time hasn’t work out for me lately, but I’m looking forward to signing up for another series class.
I felt safe here and welcome. The place the time when I was coming didn’t feel like a sorority or club. But embraces all women from all ages, ethnicity, and walks of life.
Thanks Everyone. This journey with my body hasn’t been easy, but Tease Dance helped make it a supportive &...
Read moreThis incident occurred probably 5 years back and I should have made the review MUCH SOONER....
So I had spent plenty of money on this studio between multiple different sessions of pole classes. At the beginning of one of the classes, we were all asked why we wanted to learn pole and what brought us to Tease.... I nervously answered that I was currently working in a club and a wanted to better my skills. Everyone loved my answer and was highly supportive. Thought that was the end of it! THEN CAME THE NEXT CLASS - The instructor pulled me aside and told me how she told the owner of the studio about me being a dancer, and then told me to make sure I wasn't "recruiting" others in the class to work at the club with me... I'm not sure if it was the owner being biased or the instructor but either way, I should have demanded a refund and never spent another penny... I had 0 intentions of recruiting anyone, I was there to better my own skills on the pole for fitness and for my work. Unless I was caught recruiting other people in class, what would make you even think to say something like that ? I was a paying customer, never had any issues with anyone, and that was my introduction to Tease.... I loved everyone in my classes too, so it's a shame the owner or the instructors have personal feelings towards dancers. Great place visually but if you're a dancer in a club - I'd take my money to a place where you're more...
