“As someone who has the rhythm and flexibility of a steel pipe, pole dancing was way outside my comfort zone. But after taking pole dancing lessons at Villainy, I have never felt more confident or stronger. Everyone at this studio is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this studio for anyone and everyone.”

“Highly recommend! Would give 10 stars if I could. Villainy is welcoming of all body types and levels of previous experience (including zero!). Taking classes from Villainy has helped me find a way to express my creative side during the pandemic. Villainy takes their precautions during the pandemic very seriously and I’ve always felt safe. Plus, classes at Villainy are incredibly fun!”
