Berkeley Pole + Dance

"I love Berkeley P&D, it’s my happy place! The studio, the instructors, and the students are so awesome and friendly. I came here as a total beginner and got so hooked. I love the variety of classes, levels, and styles. Also their student discounts are amazing ❤️"

"This has been my go-to studio for the last few years and I absolutely love this place. The space is beautiful and well-furnished, with thoughtful touches like free tampons and hair ties. I love taking Celia's classes, I started in L2 and now I'm in L3 which was a big goal of mine. Her classes are always fun and filled with many dedicated students who come back week after week."

"I took a foundation class with Sahra and had such a great time! My friend (a trans man) and I (amab non-binary) were a little hesitant that we wouldn't be included in the space because of our genders. We were completely wrong . The group of students and the instructor all created a safe space for an the students, not just us. It was a great workout in a space where I could have fun and laugh with other beginners."

"Had a wonderful private class, our instructors Sahra and Celadon were so knowledgeable and accepting of physical capacity and how to wrangle a big group into listening and having FUN while moving our bodies. They were both so kind and encouraging of a total newbie! I would recommend this studio to anyone new to pole or experienced, they showed us a little performance and it was stunning."

"After one pole foundations class with Sahra I knew I found my new hobby. She’s an amazing instructor who makes sure everyone of of her students are comfortable. I am not athletic at all but I’ve noticed myself get stronger and stronger in every class. I also had Miyuki as an instructor and I really appreciated how well she breaks downs basics. The Berkeley studio has slowly become my second home and I love raving about the confidence and strength I’ve gained because of the wonderful instructors who encourage me every step of the way."
