FAQ's About The Pole Barn!
*What level should I enroll in?
Please enroll in any of our intro level classes.
Your instructor will suggest if you are ready to move to the next level.
Please read the descriptions for all of our classes to know what level it is and whether it has a pre-requisite.
*Can I drop-in to a class?
Sorry, we do not allow drop-ins.
We require all individuals to register and enroll in advance.
This helps us to maintain the safety of our studio and ensure everyone has their own apparatus in class.
We are unable to process new student enrollment before class due to limited staffing onsite.
*How early can I arrive to class?
Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your class. The doors will remain locked until this time.
If you have arrived early, please wait until a staff member unlocks the door.
If you have arrived late, please ring the doorbell located directly next to the door handle
and someone will let you into the studio.
*What should I wear?
For pole, less is more, as you need skin contact on the pole.
Some students also prefer to dance with tall socks and/or knee pads.
High heels are not required, but are welcome if you would like to wear them.
Only pole specific shoes are allowed - no street heels, please.
In aerial silks, more coverage with tighter fit clothing is best, as this will help you avoid rope burns.
Typical workout gear will work for all lessons that we offer. Please wear what you are comfortable with.
Please do not wear street shoes past the front door and socks are always optional.
*Are men allowed?
YES! Individuals of all identities are allowed and welcome to attend lessons.
Our studio is inclusive of all and welcoming of anyone that wants to participate!

Classes are designed for 14+ years of age.
Participants under 18 must have their parent register them and sign a waiver.
We also have youth classes, which include age 6-13.
*Do you have a weight limit?
Our aerial silks are rigged to hold up to 5,000LBS!
We take safety very seriously and all of our rigging far exceeds typical recommendations for the industry.
Our poles are Platinum Stages, which are the best in the business competition quality. We do not set a weight limit for taking our pole classes due to the quality of our poles. Inspection of all our equipment is preformed before each class to ensure the safety of our students.
*Where should I park?
Downtown Stillwater can be tricky on tourist days (during events) but the great news is there are over 1,600 parking spots downtown. Please consider arriving early to ensure you find a parking space. Most of the parking downtown is FREE for up to 3-4 hours of parking.
We are located on the corner of Chestnut and Water Street near the historic Lift Bridge. Please see the attached parking information link below for more info!
