Aradia Fitness was my first pole dancing experience when I went for a private group class for a bachelorette.
The private class was okay, though I got the vibe that our instructor wasn't really taking us seriously, or maybe bachelorettes just aren't her favorite thing (she wouldn't let us bring in our feather boas - sigh). We started the class a bit late, and did some pole dancing and lap dancing. The instruction was ok, but as someone who is a little less coordinated, I could have used some more time to get the basic moves down.
I can tell that Aradia could be a lot of fun if the instructor was a bit more into it, especially since there was a more advanced class before us and she/they seemed to be having a lot of fun! Maybe not my first pick for a private beginner class though.
