I stumbled upon Shockra by accident when a friend invited me to take a private pole dancing class. We had a blast with our teacher Vicky who showed us tons of spins, climbs and other moves and it inspired me to sign up for a 6-week Pole/Belly dance series. Our teacher Keisha incorporated belly dancing along with pole moves, and made the class both fun and challenging. And yes, you will be bruised all over, but the techniques you learn are worth every one of the black and blues! I wish I had room in my apartment for a pole of my own!\r

The experience was unforgettable and it really introduced me to a new type of dance and exercise that instills confidence and builds strength. My entire body ached after my first pole lesson, but by the 6th I'd gotten so much stronger!
Pros: Friendly teachers and semi-private atmosphere
