Pole Community

Built by pole dancers

Find a pole or aerial studio near you

Search by city, or tap your state on the map. Every listing links to the studio's own page and says when we last checked it, and what we could not check. Free, independent, and never paid for placement.

1168 studios listed 675 verified 50 states plus DC 1 country beyond the US

    Sourced answers to the questions people actually ask: age, strength, safety, bruising, what a first class is like, how long it takes.

  • Glossary 40 terms

    What the words mean. Invert, shoulder mount, pole kiss, drop-in class, floorwork, each defined in a short paragraph with the context a beginner needs.

  • What it costs

    Real class and intro-offer prices taken from the studios themselves, with the basis and the date they were gathered stated on the page.

    Who is competing, where, and when. Upcoming editions first, with each series traced to its own announcement.

    Pole and aerial retreats and intensives worldwide, listed by organizer, dated where the organizer has said a date.

  • Brands

    Pole and aerial brands, grouped by what each one mainly makes. Small so far, and honest about which categories are still empty.

About this directory

What is Pole Community?

Pole Community is a free, independent reference for pole dance and aerial arts, built by pole dancers. Its core is a directory of 1168 studios across all 50 US states, Washington DC, and 1 country beyond the US, researched region by region and checked before it was published. Alongside it the site publishes beginner guides, a journal of sourced answers to beginner questions, a glossary of pole and aerial terms, real class prices, competition and retreat listings, a brands index, the statistics behind the directory, and a dated log of every change we make to it.

How were these studios verified?

Every listing carries the sources we actually checked. A studio marked "verified" with a date had its own website or schedule confirmed live on that date. "Listed, not re-verified" means the studio appears in earlier listings but current activity was not re-confirmed. "Unverified" means the listing needs a check before you plan a visit.

Does this cover the whole country?

We added states as we finished researching them, one region at a time, rather than publishing guesses. All 50 states and Washington DC listed below have been through a real research pass.

Is this a pole-only directory?

No. Pole Community lists the full pole and aerial landscape together — silks, lyra, trapeze, and other aerial disciplines appear alongside pole, honestly labeled with whatever a studio actually teaches.

How can I help?

Verify the studios in your area, tell us what a page is missing, or write for the site. A person reads every message, and nothing on the site changes until we have checked it ourselves. Start on the Contribute page.
