"I love hudson valley pole so much. I first started going in March and have been hooked ever since. The instructors are so much fun and great at explaining things to help understand better. Everyone is so supportive, I love when someone nails a move and everyone cheers. I have gained so much confidence this past year. It is so incredible to learn what the body can do. Thank you hudson valley pole for changing my life and many others. "

"This studio changed my life! In November of 2016 I walked in the doors, and even though I’ve moved to Cali this will always be my home studio. Nicole is an incredible, patient, wonderful teacher. She has cultivated a safe, professional, and welcoming atmosphere that the other lovely instructors also extend to all students. I miss this studio and the students so!!!! Go to HVPA, if you’re open and kind and want to dance you will not be disappointed."

"I nervously walked into my first Pole Newbies class in December 2016, knowing basically nothing about pole dancing. Within minutes I was put at ease by the teacher (and studio owner), Nicole Duquette. I’m in my 50s and was probably the oldest person in the room that day...but it was no big deal. I’ve since been attending classes fairly regularly, and I continue to amaze myself at what she has helped me to accomplish. Her welcoming attitude and infectious spirit set the tone for the studio, which attracts a wide variety of friendly and supportive students. Her coaching is skillful and professional, and her athleticism and grace provide endless inspiration. The schedule has recently expanded with more unique classes taught by other wonderful teachers. Becoming a part of the HVPA community is one of best things about my move to Kingston!"

"Hudson Valley Pole Arts is in this beautiful loft space at the Shirt Factory with an amazing group of women that encourage each other both inside and outside of class. The first time I went there, they invited me to go apple picking with them after class. Who does that?! Everyone is very welcoming, relaxed, playful, and they maintain their body-positive belief systems. You can go at your own pace and get support and encouragement no matter what stage you are at. The general vibe is 'accept yourself but challenge yourself.' If you're having hang ups about trying pole dance for the first time, this is the place to start. Your age, weight, race, gender or athletic ability (or lack their of) really doesn't matter in this place...and that's a beautiful thing. They do Burlesque workshops too. The prices are reasonable... but the confidence and support I've received from this community is priceless. They helped put me back in touch with my youth, my sexuality, my sense of adventure, and my sanity. I would recommend HV Pole Arts without hesitation."
