L’Ru Studios

We showed up at 3:45p.m. and LOTS of questions about the 4:30 class. The sub for the class was so patient with us, and very informative! We absolutely loved her. We decided not to take class so I can’t comment on the content but the customer service and client focus is spot on, so for that, they get 5 stars.

The Beginner pole dancing class was Okay but the instructor Marina was very sarcastic and rude!!! She basically laughed at my friends and I when teaching us. Not to mention she totally was rude about other studios. She makes you feel bad about your dancing. perhaps she was trying to lighten the mood but it simply did not work!

I’ve been coming to pole (and some circus, and some go-​go… I’ve kind of tried the whole gamut) classes here for about 2 years, and if I’ve spent 2 years somewhere, obviously I like it :)
First of all:
The location is really strange. The first time you go here, you pretty much WILL get lost, but the owner is really sweet about giving directions. I think this happens to her a lot. Classes are pretty small, especially during the week, and the instructors are generally willing to spend time with you and repeat tricks until you get it. The atmosphere is a little different from the other pole dance places I’ve been to in Denver: The pole room has lower lighting (which I like! It’s dim, but it makes me way-​less self conscious), and the poles don’t have the big thick mats that I’ve seen at other places (but you can ask for them!). It’s a small studio, but it’s always clean and pretty homey.
They have several regular instructors, and each of them has their own very different style, so if you go to a class with one that you’re not an immediate fan of, try one of the others or try a different class style. The studio has a regular group of students, so you’ll see some of the same faces in a lot of classes, but it doesn’t feel cliquey. I have definitely felt awkward in some classes at first (Have I mentioned that I have ZERO dance background besides this?), but every instructor I’ve met here has been really supportive and seems to really care about their students «getting it» and knows their stuff.
The prices are REALLY good compared to a couple other studios (as of this review, it was only $ 15 for a drop-​in class!) and they have punch cards and run Groupons a few times a year. If you’re a more advanced pole dancer, one of the teachers (Leesi) has some really cool pole workshops that I haven’t seen elsewhere.
If you’re in the area, they are definitely worth a visit!

Wow. I have seriously taken HUNDREDS of dance classes before.
Worst. Dance. Class. Ever.
My friend and I were tempted to walk out during the class. We took the go go dancing class with Keelie (sp?) and it was seriously the most boring class ever. Monotone voice… we did not even learn a routine… the music was so low that we could barely hear it and she went on some rant about cheerleading? I did not learn anything… and as I looked over to my friend, I saw her yawning. I could have gotten more of a workout by just walking 0.1 miles. It was almost as if it was joke. Serious waste of our time.

Discovered this place right here on Unilocal!Went to try a completely different and out of the box kind of workout… and nothing can be better described as that than a pole dancing workout! I am the type of person who works out fairly regularly and this kicked my butt… Muscles I didn’t know I have were yelling at me for days! Leesi was very fun and incredibly patient as my friend and I giggled our way through throwing ourselves around the pole for the class. We are definitely going back!

Ten Stars!!!

I attended one of the L’Ru pole dancing classes for a bachelorette party. Everyone had so much fun! I’m absolutely uncoordinated, but I was able to follow along, and she showed some more difficult moves to the more graceful among us. We were all blown away by the instructor’s talent– she did a short routine for us — and we were telling everyone about it for days.
I’m not sure how well it would work for more than 10 people, given the number of poles — any more than 10 & you’d have to take turns.
It was a really fun idea for a bachelorette party, and if we weren’t from out of state we’d probably be signing up for a class.
