    what our students
    think about us

    Trainer was literally so brilliant, she made every single girl feel like a goddess. I was embarrassed at times when not being able to do certain moves and the support was so incredible and warming! Definitely felt some girl power vibes! Would definitely go back and hope to learn how to do some more moves and gain some more strength. Can’t believe how incredible Sophia the instructor was, I struggle a lot with confidence and the vibes were just inclusive and empowering. Definitely an all around amazing experience❤️
    Rachael Klein
    Thank you for a great experience!! Really wasn't sure what to expect and was a bit apprehensive, however Shannon was a fantastic instructor, she explained moves really well, listened to questions and made me feel at ease! Thank you again and see you again next week!
    Loretta Castley

    First time doing Pole and I was made to feel so welcome. I felt super relaxed and had a lot of fun. I left feeling more confident and excited to continue with Pole. The teacher was awesome! Thank you

    Burlesque with Sophia is so much fun, you get to meet and make friends with great people. I would recommend you give it a go…. You’ll love it!

    I had so much fun! I did things I didn’t think I was strong enough to achieve as a beginner ☺️ Thank you!
    Sheridan Ballard

    Angela Lemon
    Wonderful! Highly recommended. Inclusive, fun and professional.
    Ella Shannon
    I’ve been wanting to try out a class for ages but I was a little nervous about going along by myself. I’m glad I finally gave it a go because today was so much fun. Got some great tips and some great choreography for my hubby’s Valentines surprise. Sexy, fun and absolutely no pressure! Now I’ve just got to choose the class I’m doing next!
