Romance & Dance

It is sad to know that this company has to make excuses why they cannot give my sister her deposit back because she cancelled the event. Saturday is our birthday, but our 39 years old cousin just died of cancer, and the funeral hppens to be on the same day and during the scheduled party session. This company said they still have to pay the receptionist and instructor. THAT’S BULLSHIT! Are they that hard up for money, are they that thoughless, cold-​hearted that they can’t give my sister her 100.00 deposit back. I mean come on… we are burying our cousin who died of Lymphoma!!! Do they need to see the obituary!!!

My pole party was fantastic! I’ve been coming to R&D since I came to my cousin’s party last November. I invited a friend and she’s been coming too! We decided to have a party for some coworkers so they can experience the pole and hope they’d love it as much as we do. And they did! We had a great time. Tina was a great host and Ceeyonce was a great instructor and extremely motivating. One of the best characteristics of the studio overall is how motivating and encouraging everyone is. A+

this is THE most healing experience I’ve had around body, fitness and female relating. The women that attend and teach are very strong and become extremely strong and all have completely different shaped bodies. There is zero pressure to look any certain way and the entire experience was supportive and motivating. This is the best way I’ve spent my money on health in EVER. GO. You will likely suck at first, it’s okay. No one cares. Just GO. You will have fun and be sore with a happy heart the next day.

We did a two hour Pole Party with mostly inexperienced, non-​athletic girls at the Carson Romance and Dance, and lemme tell you… it couldn’t have been better! Cori and Tera were both lovely gals, and Cori’s teaching abilities were phenomenal: she wasn’t too rough on our inexperienced asses, but she gave us a friendly little nudge in the right direction when needed! I’ve been to pole classes before where teachers are absolutely merciless on their beginner girls, but Cori made the atmosphere comfortable and fun for the newbies; she was also very receptive to our needs, and kept us busy the entire two hours (and WOW did time FLY by!) Most of us loved it so much that we ended up purchasing classes after our pole party, and I can’t wait to get started! Some advice: if you do a Pole Party here, make sure the friends you bring are FUN and ADVENTUROUS; if you have to be stuck with bunch of Debbie-​Downers for two hours, you’re going to regret it. HAVE FUN! :D

This past weekend I attended a Pole Party here with a few gal pals, and I absolutely loved the experience!
I have toyed around in the past with possibly taking a pole class but never have because I am chronically shy and always afraid that I’ll make an ass of myself. I’m so glad that a friend invited me to go so I can finally muster up the courage to do this and I’m so glad I did!
Cori was our instructor and she was so sweet and encouraging. She made us feel comfortable and brought us out of our shells.
I am definitely going to be booking classes and possibly even put together another party!
I recommend this for everyone, but especially to my fellow shy ladies: this is such a confidence booster!

I took my first class with Briy and I loved it! So much fun! Everyone is very nice and welcoming.

I absolutely love this place… I attended a dance party it was nice. dee was our instructor she was fun… And was very encouraging. I seen Phee that night and I had to let her know she has a awesome staff and I recommend this place. I’ve been here years ago about 3 times and each time I came it was fun. The classes are amazing the music and it’s a place to learn and express yourself

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I have attended two classes at this location– the butt muscle control class with ANESIA & and the beginner’s pole with KIA. Both classes are AWESOME and the instructors are SO down to earth, fun, and take time to work with students one on one. To all the curvy girls, don’t b scurred! The students here come in all shapes and sizes! Most definitely will be a regular here:)

Love this pole dancing studio I live over 30 miles away and it’s worth the drive!!! I love the instructors and the way this place is ran good music to get you going and definitely makes I feel like u want to jump our of your shell and get sexy! Only CON to this place is that they have advanced people in their beginner classes and it throws everything off for someone like me just starting out I’m insecure that they are better than me and also I’m trying to do what they do and it makes me faster to give up and never want to do it again.

Whatever reservations you think you may have about learning how to pole dance. Forget about it, this was an amazing experience. I was extremely iffy about it from the beginning, but the moment we started the class that all vanished. This class was awesome from start to finish. They not only accommodated to our group they were friendly and informative.
Our instructor, Ceeyonce was theeee best she made us feel comfortable and we had tons of fun. The best part is your getting an amazing work out. If this wasn’t so far from where I live I would have signed up for classes. I’m definitely impressed and would recommend this to anyone of any age and any size.

Was VERY nervous as I am the girl who thinks way to much and sometimes have 2 left feet! But my class was amazing! I left there feeling sexy and looking forward to my next class. My instructor was Tiffany and she was so comforting and helpful! Will most likely be a regular

Had a pole party here this month and also attended one last year. Very fun! The owners are very nice and inviting as well as all the other instructors and employees. Great idea for a bday/​bachelorette party/​girls night out.

I first started out with the Intro Package for $ 39. After three classes with Deb, Anesia, and Dee, I signed up for the unlimited package. This place is a true gem in Carson and a mini mommy get-​a-​way to work on self doing something fun and sexy.
The beginning if frustrating if your just building your upper body strength but once you get a few spins and tricks down the pole is addicting.
Just GO! lol It took me awhile to sign-​up, I would watch all the videos on youtube and instagram and would never have the courage to sign-​up until one day I just did it. Now that I think of it, I had nothing to lose but everything to gain in a fun workout.
Love it!

I love this place. all the instructors give u one on one attention even if its a class. They are always happy too see u (that’s big thing in my book, who wants to go to a place u dont feel welcomed?). Its affortable. U get ur work out done in a fun and sexy way. I have been attending class for about a year. And I dont think im ever going to stop. all instructors are awsome. Everton if them is different. try them all and see who fits u best. mine is anisia. love u girl. but everyone is different so give it a shot and see what u think. u will not loss anything g for trying, only unwanted Weight.
Love it
See u on the pole.

Omggggg Anesia is the best instructor!!! I took the intro to pole and also the butt muscle control specialty classes. Everyone was so bummed to do all the workout junk before the actual pole stuff which was so RAD because I hate hate hate feelin like the only full — blown lazy in the class. Anyhow, that said, after complaining and giving up on several of the exercises I STILL feel sore as a mofo and like I learned a ton.
Also, I bought a package to come back like a bunch more times– it was THAT GOOD, cause I’m broke as a joke and cheap as shit, usually.

I invited a friend to take a class with me after I saw a deal on Groupon. I was so impressed with the ladies who manage this studio. We arrived late, but our trainer Mel treated us the with utmost courtesy. The women taking the class were at different levels, but Mel took the time to address their concerns and illustrate the techniques without making us feel left out. Everyone was super supportive and I never really felt self-​conscious or out of place.
My only concern was that the class wasn’t particularly strenuous, but my friend said her arms were definitely sore after. Regardless, this is the kind of studio I would look forward to attending weekly if it wasn’t so far away.

A few of my friends and I came to R&D for our girls day. We had a BLAST! There were 5 in our group, and we didn’t reserve a private lesson we just registered for the Sunday afternoon class. We got to class RIGHT on time, and luckily so, because a waiting list was starting to form.
The whole R&D staff was amazing. I called a few times prior to our class to confirm availability, discounts, attire etc. Everyone I spoke with was helpful and pleasant. The reception staff was friendly as well. The woman had to multi-​task: Answering questions for guest, checking people in, processing payments, and answering the phone. Considering the amount of people she has to interact with for each class, she handled herself very professionally. Our teacher was fun and knowledgeable.
The majority of my group had taken a pole dance class before so we knew a little bit of what to expect, but this class was WAY more fun and comfortable than any I have taken in the past. The teacher made jokes, and just talked like «one of the girls» as opposed to a distant stranger. That immediately helped the class loosen up and even get comfortable with one another. Another thing I liked about the environment, is that everyone is supportive, and if you’re on the shy side, you aren’t singled out. You can go at your own pace and just enjoy yourself. Its not hard to tell who has been coming for a while, and the veterans are willing to answer any questions and offer a word of encouragement. It was really nice to see women helping women and having fun.
The prices, deals, and discounts cannot be beat. You really get a fun quality lesson that you can take home. Please note that THIS IS EXERCISE… EVERY SINGLE GIRL in my group was aching the next day! And you WILL sweat while in class.
Overall it was a great time, I cant wait to come back. The only suggestions that I would make would be to extend the time from 60Mins to 90Mins. When we looked up we saw that the hour had flown by and we didn’t want to leave. And then the second suggestion would be a bigger facility, I’m sure as the business is on the fast track to growth this will be happening sooner than later.

I started taking the pole dancing classes here in the summer and so far I have done about 10 classes. At first it was pretty crowded with all the specials they had but this last week I went to a class with only 4 students and it was great! got one on one attention and did a whole routine and everything :)
Firstly, you see all kinds of people here and when I first started I couldn’t really hold myself up but the more you go the better you get.
secondly, dress sexy! The instructors there give you the confidence for you to move and dress however you want. My self esteem wasn’t really too high when I started but the more I did it the more confident I became. I even did it with heels once (tiring, but worth it) and i felt even better while spinning :)
lastly, it IS a workout and some instructors work you out more than others but ultimately you get to work out the spots you need so you can advance on the pole :)

Still a wonderful way to get fit! I’ve been working out here on and off for two years now and I still receive great service like I’m a first time customer. My last instructor was Jhas, and she was a great teacher. She provided variety and differentiated her instruction based on our ability levels without boring people with repetitious instruction. I“m a big fan of this place. I just wish my scheduled allowed me to participate on a more regular basis.
I highly suggest adding this form of exercise to your regular exercise regiment. It’s an alternative way to exercise that produces instant results not only physically — I started developing Kelly Roland, Tina Turner arms by my third visit — it also leads to confidence and sexiness. Once I hit my first pole trick, I felt like, «Damn, if I can do this at 30-​something, maybe I’m not turning into an old lady. Maybe I still got it!» LOL!

Important things to know:
a. It’s expensive. Try to catch a deal if you can, but if you’re for real serious enroll in auto pay. It’s a little cheaper.
b. This is NOT for people new to fitness. You have to have some endurance to get through the warmup. Unless you been doing pushups or lugging a kid around don’t even think you can pull yourself around a pole! I heard they had a chair and stretching class so that may be a better first choice. I haven’t worked out in a while and I couldn’t pick myself off the pole OR keep up during the warmup! Yeah, embarrassing. I should have been in better shape before I enrolled! But I still had a good time!
c. You should bring a yoga mat. They provide mats but they look kinda suspect. Just sayin’.
d. There are professionals or whatever you call them, in your class. Some lady broke out with the clear stripper shoes. Others had on bathing suits and tights. I felt so modest showing up in exercise gear. I would at least wear tights next time.
e. If they’re running a special, try to go to an empty class early in the day when everyone’s working. The less people, the more one on one attention.
f. Go to the front. You can hear the teacher the best and keep up.
I went when there was a deal going on so there were literally 30 people in the class. The class was intense and I got a good workout, which I was thoroughly unprepared for! I learned a couple of tricks, including the sexy walk. The hour flew by! I would definitely not go if the class has a lot of people in it, because you get lost in the mix. We could have also learned more sexy moves instead of practicing the moves over and over. I would definitely go again to try the smaller class size. 1 star off for high prices, poor music selection, and those pink mats. If you want to get fit while learning something instead of running, I would definitely come here.
