NOLA Pole & Aerials — Local services in New Orleans

Jill has created an amazing culture. This place is the absolute best! I've trained at a few studios in New York and was blown away about this studio. I called in advance to find out which class would be the right skill level and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Upon arrival everyone was very welcoming and it was nice to see a variety of students in terms of goals and body size. While I had hoped to do more choreography in aerials, the conditioning was still great. Out of 8 classes in 4 days I can say that Booty- werk and any class will with Jill will not disappoint.

Jill is more than the owner of this location. She is one of the most caring teachers I've ever worked with. I took to classes with her. She would teach a combination, then go to each student and ask if they needed any assistance or modifications. She did an injury check in pre class and she gave us time to freestyle at the end of class. It is clear that students love coming to this studio because of the welcoming vibe (I did try another studio where the sub showed up unprepared and invited us to "jam"), and Jill is the reason why the studio feels like a second home.

Also every bachelorette party I saw looked super fun. I organize bachelorette parties and my first thought was, "This looks amazing! I need to up my game." Go to Awakenings in NOLA. You will not be...

Over the last several months I have been executing an exquisite, exciting Nola Pole journey. It has been full of so much #strength and #community and #growth - there has never been a time in my life when I enjoyed exercise or being in a space created for bodies that don't resemble my own.

My work with the team at #nolapole has certainly changed that. Being instructed and cheered on by incredible human beings that both work and play at the studio has been absolutely invaluable to me an a way I find difficult to put into words. I am so grateful! Major shout out to Jill and Alexa who never fail to make me feel beautiful, confident and accepted.

At the end of every class I feel I truly embody a sense of personal accomplishment and progress. It is a wonderful feeling for anyone! But especially for someone with a big body who has never felt welcome or included in a space like this.

During my trip to NOLA, my cousin surprised the group and I with a pole dancing class here. Our teacher was Paul and he was AWESOME, I can't emphasis enough how comfortable he made us feel. Even when I know we weren't doing all that great, he was very encouraging and positive haha. He made sure that everyone was getting the moves down and helped us individually step-by-step if needed. The class was fun! Props to the people who do this professionally because it's a lot harder than it looks. It's a great workout and fun. We did a sexy dance choreographed by Paul himself, some pole dancing, and then we ended the class doing some stuff on the aerial hammocks. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we got a good workout in! I'd definitely recommend this place, whether you're just visiting or want a fun workout to do every so often. Sidenote: We also wiped down our poles after we were done, which is a big plus for me and the water they had was SO refreshing (maybe it was just because I was hot and...
