Welcome to Siren Studios!!

Siren Studios a pole dance studio brought to you by professional dancer, Evie Wick. We are committed to providing a safe, body positive, queer & sex worker friendly space. Pole dancers of all levels of experience are invited come together and build a dance community. We encourage EVERYONE who wants to try pole dance to come out and take a class!

There’s a strong misconception that you have to be physically strong in order to begin pole, and that’s inherently false! The beauty of pole is that you build the muscles you need as you continue your pole journey and condition your body.

Location

We host all classes (unless otherwise stated on schedule) at The Wicked Witch, 416 W South St, Raleigh, NC 27601.

Parking
We recommend parallel street parking around the building. During the day, there are usually plenty of FREE street spots available.

Other Details
All classes, including Open Pole sessions, are 60 minutes in length unless otherwise stated on the schedule. All classes will include a required instructor-led warm-up with stretching in the beginning of class. Grip aids are provided but feel free to bring your preferred type or brand.

Attire
Pole heels are encouraged, but never required, unless the class is heel-specific. Clothing should leave as much skin exposed as you are comfortable with. Please keep in mind: the less fabric the better! Pole holds require skin-to-pole contact and fabric will make you slide, giving you no grip. If you’re signed up for a floorwork or basework class, knee pads are a good option to have. There are knee pads that are specifically meant for pole dance that have grips on the knee-pit side. These can be easily found on the web.

Expectations
Pole requires your body to be warm and ready to participate without acquiring an injury, therefore if you arrive to class more than fifteen minutes late, you will be asked not to participate. If you are less than fifteen minutes late, the instructor may ask you to warm up your body by yourself for a few moments and then join class once you’re warm. If you are going to be late for a previously scheduled private lesson please reach out to that instructor privately and inform them. They will use their own discretion in regards to rescheduling, fees, etc.

Our classes can be mixed levels, therefore our wish is that you feel accepted and encouraged to grow at whatever pace works for you. Please don’t compare yourself to your classmates, everyone is growing at their own rate and it’s exactly where they need to be at that moment.

Consent
There will be a required consent form at the beginning of class to be sure students and instructors are operating on the same rules and expectations.

Classes are marked on the schedule with a (~) symbol
WHY do we offer “Strippers Only” classes?
These classes are offered specifically for dancers who are currently working in any type of strip club. Siren Studios is SW positive and wants to carve out space for SWers in our area by offering dance classes catered to the club atmosphere. We also offer support and resources to dancers who are looking to transition out of the clubs and into other performance spaces (i.e. showcases, burlesque, etc.).
