I have been attending classes at Shimmy Shimmy for about 6 months now, and absolutely love it! When I first started, I couldn’t believe how fun and challenging the classes were! After just one class I was hooked and couldn’t wait to take another. I still can tell after every class that Im getting an amazing workout... so much different than just going to the gym. Heather is a great instructor and really takes the time to explain everything. From the very first class I could tell there was absolutely no pressure or judgment at the studio and it was a very welcoming and laid-back environment. I am currently taking pole fitness, chair/pole choreography and aerial hammock classes- all things Ive wanted to try for years. I’m so impressed by the diversity of classes that are offered, and I’m so happy I found Shimmy Shimmy and have a new, fun workout that I actually look forward to doing! If youve ever wanted to try any of these classes, sign up for them at Shimmy Shimmy- you wont be disappointed!

I have been going to Shimmy Shimmy Dance Studio for a few months now and I am absolutely in love with it! It is my home away from home. I take private pole dancing classes every weekend. If you arent really into pole dancing she also does ariel hammock, ariel hoop, chair dancing, belly dancing, and much more. I have become stronger and have made some new friends! Everyone is really supportive especially Heather, the owner and the teacher. She is understanding and very helpful! She works with you one on one and gives you the support you need during the class. I love going to Shimmy Shimmy Dance Studio and I recommend it to everyone looking for something new and different in their life. You dont have to be super strong or skinny to go. Everyone of all ages goes and we even have some boys too!

I have been going to Shimmy Shimmy for about 2 months and can already see more results than I have at the gym! I was a gym rat for 2 years before starting at Shimmy Shimmy and I have to say that the results Ive seen from pole dancing are much greater than from lifting! Not only has my strength increased so quickly, but pole dancing is much more fun than counting reps and being judged at the gym. Needless to say, I will be trading in my gym membership for Shimmy Shimmy classes from now on! Heather is an amazing instructor who helps her students thrive and encourages them to do better and get stronger. She pushes them to try new things which will only increase confidence and strength to become a better and more fit pole dancer!

After dreading going to the gym (if I even went), I was looking into other options of fitness that would motivate me to go regularly when I found Heathers studio. I have been going to Shimmy Shimmy for almost a year now & I am really grateful that I did because I not only built strength from next to nothing & feel stronger, but Heather really sets a comfortable atmosphere for all & is always willing to help you improve. I really found a nice place to work out & everyone attending the classes are really supportive of each other! I highly recommend here if youre looking for an challenging & different way to get fit & boost your confidence (because thats exactly what it did for me)!

I love this place! Ive been taking lessons at Shimmy Shimmy for a couple months now and automatically I noticed my strength and abilities have improved. Heathers (the owner & instructor) routines are not only fun but theyre challenging and are sure to get you in tip top shape. Anyone from all walks of life can do the classes in this non-judgmental atmosphere. I never feel uncomfortable or out of place when Im there. Id recommend Shimmy Shimmy if youre looking to switch up your regular workout or looking to start getting in shape in general. Heather is easy going,supportive and friendly and for this reason, I keep coming back!

I have been a regular at shimmy shimmy for months. I can hardly ever stick to a regular workout schedule long term but while dancing here I am dropping extra pounds, gaining upper body and core strength, and my self confidence has skyrocketed. The classes are challenging and fun, I forget how hard Im working during them and its been so great seeing the results as I become stronger. There are slower paced yoga hammock classes for a deep stretch and a very welcoming atmosphere for first time dancers in the pole foundations classes.

Ive been coming to this studio for a few months now and I love everything about it! As a gymnast of 15 years and dancer for 20, I have NEVER been more flexible in my life then training with Heather! I am so happy with how I look and more importantly how I feel! Heather makes each class fun and interesting, as well as challenging me to get better every week. There is never any judgement and I have never been made to feel like I dont belong (As I have at other studios). I would give this place 6 stars if I could!

Ive been coming here since January and I absolutely love it here. The atmosphere is great and Heather (the instructor) is super nice. She really helps you out if you are confused about the moves, and gives you individual attention if you need it. Ive learned so much and Ive gained so much strength in the past few months! This place is great and I highly recommend joining (:

I had a terrific experience doing aerial hammock with my sister. The instructor was encouraging, personable, and warm, as were all of my fellow classmates, which was a wonderful surprise. Its a fun, no pressure environment, where you can learn at your own pace and ability, or challenge yourself.

I love this studio. Being one of the few (if not only) male members I never felt excluded or anything. Heather is a wonderful instructor and is always so encouraging. If you want a great workout in a friendly and nonjudgmental environment then I highly recommend Shimmy Shimmy!
