TranZenDance Studio

My close friends and I booked a private Pole Dance session for a Bachelorette party last weekend. It was the absolute best way to start our special evening. Lori was an incredible dance instructor whose studio is comfortable and welcoming. We learned so much and had a blast. We felt energized and positive. It must have been the most comfortable I felt in my own skin in a long time. !! I would recommend TranZenDance Studio to ANYONE!

Pros: Personal attention from instructor, studio ambiance, quality of instruction

Cons: Muscle soreness after workout!

When I signed up to learn pole dancing I thought it would just be for fun. These classes (Laurie's) are powerful. In addition to changing my body I feel that I am embarking on an entire lifestyle change-for the better. All of this is hard to put in words but if there are things that you have put off doing, these classes can help jump start it all.

I have studied yoga and pilates for nine years and this instructor is more familiar with the fundamentals and practices of both of these disciplines-more than a lot of teachers I have studied with-and this is all in a dancer's training workout or pole dance class. I recommend both to anyone who needs to shake up their fitness routine.

Pros: instructors training and knowledge

Cons: would be fun if she taught a reformer (Pilates) class too

Loved the class that I took and the instructor was very knowledgable about working with past running injuries that i have had. The moves are very exotic dance like moves but very beautiful and classy. I felt very comfortable since there are no weird mirrors which I have seen at other places. Sensuous dancing is a major workout.

I am not a big fan of the gyms and I have let my body go the last couple years but I must say that the classes that I have taken fly by and I can see the results in my clothes and with the way that I feel. I take the two hour pole dance class and I try to make it to the dancer's conditioning class which is just as intense but in a different way from the dance classes. This studio is very professionally run and classes always run over-meaning that you get a longer and more intense class because of the care that is show towards students. I have to also say how amazed I am at the age range doing pole dancing and everyone does it well.

My friends and I threw a pole dance party over the weekend to celebrate one of our friends getting married. We have never had so much fun dancing and working out (sober) in our lives. This studio will cater to whatever your preferences are: we spent more time learning some of the different pole turns. The bachelorette received was pleased since she could bring in a few outfits to learn to perform and dance in for her husband to be. Great music, service, and studio. I recommend a party or class to anyone interested in pole dancing.

I didn't know what to expect in a pole dance class but I must say that this class is not only a really fun but it tones all of the trouble spot for women. I also think this is an empowering workout for women since it is about releasing certain inhibitions and feeling more confident about our bodies no matter what our size or shape. The instructor has a true "Zen" approach and this really is a yoga type studio with poles. I have taken some yoga but I think that pole dancing might even be a better workout. I am quitting my gym to join these classes.

My friends and I have waited a long time for a studio like this to open in Denver. Took 1 class and I'm hooked.

I have taken two private lessons at this studio with the idea of becoming more comfortable in my body, with my femininity. I did not know what to expect since I had not taken a pole dance class before. I have taken exotic dancing and belly dancing. I was amazed at the skill involved as well as the strength needed to do this kind of dancing. I really felt at-ease and comfortable with the instructor, whom I worked with for these two private lessons. Not only was the workout really great but I enjoyed learning and working with someone who is so passionate about the dance and its significance for women. I will be continuing to take private lessons at this studio.

Pros: Instructor's passion, beautiful studio, class format, music

Cons: I can't think of any

I am so thrilled that this studio opened in Denver. I took the Hollywood version that came to town over 2 years ago. I have always liked this dance form, but the pretention of the lead instructor from that Hollywood studio was over the top. This studio, by comparison, is run like a professional yoga or pilates studio. It is in a beautiful building. The space is very comfortable. I met with the head instructor, who took time to answer my questions and give me a demonstration of the dance, which is quite graceful and beautiful. (Not at all what people think when they think of "pole dancing.") I signed up for the series and I cannot wait to start this next week. This studio offers clean bathrooms, locker rooms, parking. Dance gear is affordable and the entire studio is artistic just as described.
