Pole Club – Madison…NOW OPEN!!!


Pole Club – Madison, the area’s newest pole dancing fitness studio, is now open! Cultivating an environment of creativity and wellness through dance, on the floor and in the air.


So what is “pole dance”? Pole dance is just that - dancing, with a pole. There are many facets to pole dance. It can be very athletic and gymnastic-like. It can be very artistic and emotive. It can be what you maybe think of from strip clubs. And it can be dance - athletic, expressive, and empowering.


At Pole Club - Madison, we like to focus on the dance in pole dance. The sequencing of moves to create a “flow”. While our pole sessions will offer learning different moves, spins, and tricks, it’s the connection of those pieces together - a flow - which we feel provides the best overall physical exercise experience - strength training + cardio - as well as mental aspects as you start to achieve things you maybe thought you couldn’t both easily and after many efforts.


PCM is open and welcoming to all types of people who are open to and interested in trying our style of things. Check out poleclubmadison.com for more information on sessions, pricing, and schedules.
