Results & Testimonials

  • ALANA TIVNAN

    I've been waiting for Mary & Mikayla to open their own studio for years! I considered doing pole for over a year before I finally got brave enough to try it. Mary's choreo class was the second class I ever took - it was wildly challenging, I was super awkward... and it literally changed my life.

    It sparked an absolute passion that led to the discipline to take 3-5 classes every week for two years straight. Pole made me get in the best shape I've ever been in, and completely transformed my mental health and relationship with my body.

    If you're nervous or scared or insecure -- feel the fear and do it anyway. You're worth showing up for!!!

  • KAYLA CLANCY

    I’ve learned from Mary and Mikayla since the beginning of my pole journey four years ago. Not only have I gained a sense of community, but also confidence, and heightened physical fitness. Sunset Pole is a place of expression and release. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to advance, I guarantee Sunset is the place of your dreams-where your sensuality comes to life in a safe space. All the instructors are incredibly talented. I’m so excited to be a Sunset member!

  • COURTNEY WILLIAMS

    Mikayla gives everyone the attention and encouragement they need to thrive. Whether you're struggling with a new move or just need a little boost of confidence, she’s right there with guidance. Beyond her incredible teaching skills, Mikayla is a wonderful human being. She fosters a sense of community in her classes, making it a joy to come back week after week. You leave not just as a better pole dancer, but as part of a family. If you’re looking for a teacher who genuinely cares about her students and brings passion, kindness, and expertise into every class, look no further!

FAQs

  • We know it can be intimidating to sign up for a pole class with no prior experience. Every amazing pole performer was once a beginner, and the best way to gain strength is to start! Beginner classes are designed to help ease each student in to their movement journey.

  • Life happens! It is okay to run a little late to class, but we suggest contacting the studio if you are encountering any serious constraint in your ability to attend class on time. Class credit reimbursement can not be guaranteed.

  • No! Heels are never required. Heels are an artistic extension of pole dance and should be used progressively, starting with a smaller toe box to build ankle strength. See class descriptions for heel specifics.

  • Pole dance embraces all shapes and sizes. Please do not hesitate to start your pole journey because of body weight. The equipment is professional grade and drilled into the ceiling on weight bearing studs. We welcome everyone and want all students to feel comfortable enough to explore movement in their bodies.

  • It can be scary to come to a fitness class that involves wearing less clothing. Coming to class dressed in layers can help beginners acclimate to the studio culture, and items of clothing can be removed as needed. If modesty is an integral part of your lifestyle there are pole brands that cater to you; contact us and we can send you information on sticky pole wear and more athletic brands. We are certain that after attending class and getting to know staff and other students, you will feel comfortable in your own skin.
