Cleveland Eclectic Dance teaches you the basic foundation. Everyone from instructors to students are friendly and supportive. There is no body shaming. From the parking lot, I felt welcomed and no judgment. If I say something bad about myself, my peers try to help me see myself in a positive way.

Ive taken a few classes . 2 intro pole courses and a chair dance class . So far all of my classes were taught by Bethany . Shes awesome, attitude amazing, shes helpful in working with you when you cant get certain stuff, shes really sweet and a great teacher at the same time. Shes extremely supportive and when you grasps a concept, no matter how small, shes great with making you feel as though every accomplishment is worth admiring . I love her so far 💗 knowledgeable as well and teaches more than a couple ways to get certain techniques down . So far I have no upper or lower body strength, and Ive recently had surgery and cant do much but everything she taught I was able to grasp.The owner also has deals on certain dance shoes, buying them wholesale which is amazing, they have an active Facebook page which keeps every one connected. I just bought my first pair of pleasers from someone in the group which is awesome.They also have new membership discounts and multiple classes from pole to flow, to intro pole level classes, to advance classes, Lyra I believe, chair dance, aerial silk I do believe, stretch classes, open pole, strength training, online as well, pole and no pole classes ... and much more .awesome place, decent prices . ❤Definitely recommend.-Dai ♡

Great staff, amazing classes. I have been going for years and have loved every class and every instructor I have taken. I am so much stronger and flexible and love the welcoming atmosphere!

Cleveland Exotic Dance is my home away from home. Ive attended classes there weekly for about two years and my time in the studio remains my favorite part of the week. The community is inclusive, supportive, and so much fun to be around. Led by two amazing women, the studio is a strong advocate for inclusivity, particularly around topics of sexual identity, gender identity, and body positivity. In times of trouble, such as when a members home lost heat, the community rallies together to help make sure the member had space heaters or blankets until the issue could be fixed. For me, this studio is so much more than a place to dance or work out. Its an environment where I can explore different sides of me, challenge myself, and learn from others. Whether you decide to join the family in classes or as a party, you wont be disappointed.

Dahlia was awesome and super helpful! She made it fun and easy when it is in fact not so easy 😂

I started here as a student in 2013, I was searching for a studio where I felt like I belonged. I found it at CED. Very shortly later I started teaching here. I just love how inclusive and like a family it felt like. Sisters and brothers who liked who I was and helped me feel sexy and helped me get to the point where I actually felt sexy about myself. I have continued to teach here because they are family. I love the students, and I love teaching new people about pole and getting them to enjoy it as much as I do.

It’s my favorite place to be, aside from my bed! Instructors are always encouraging and the environment is extremely welcoming and safe for all bodies and identities. Awesome work out, super fun, I love my pole fam at CED!

Hands down, this is the BEST place to learn a variety of dance styles and fitness technique. The owners and staff are clear and highly communicative. The entire place has a welcoming vibe.

The owner, Lisa, was great to work with to set up a private class for a bachelorette party. Our instructor, Dahlia was very fun and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Danni was amazing and made learning easy! I would definitely go again! Clean area and it was so much fun! If there was one thing I would mention it would be to maybe add someone for security when women are leaving at night, but other than that everything was perfect!

Edited after a few weeks at CED: Fell so in love after my first pole class that i immediately bought the 6 class pack and I just signed up for my first Lyra class! Such a welcoming and inclusive environment. It’s so refreshing to find a fitness and arts environment with such a diverse and supportive community. Instructors are great at meeting everyone at their level. Classes are a little on the expensive side but very worthwhile. Be prepared to feel incredibly vulnerable, strong, and beautiful!

Me and my friends attended a pole dance class at Cleveland Exotic Dance and we had a really great time so much Fun!!! Our instructor Danni was very nice, professional, Fun Can’t wait to go back!

Great studio, great teachers, fun classes and solid workouts. Body positive and accepting of people of all body types and identities. Offers pole, burlesque, yoga and other classes. They also do private classes and parties. Definitely recommend.

Had my dirty thirty celebration at Cleveland Exotic Dance and had an awesome time! Roxi DellaDonna really made me and my guest comfortable. The only thing I would have wanted is a short dance routine to a specific song that we could have performed. Overall I would highly recommend!

I love taking pole, lyra, and stretch classes at CED! The studio offers a variety of classes throughout the week, making it easy for me to attend classes with a busy schedule. Each class is challenging and fun! The instructors are experienced and know how to teach moves safely for all skill levels. They also take the time to help each student focus on their individual goals.Generally, Im very shy when participating in group classes. At CED, I always feel comfortable with being myself because everyone is so accepting and encouraging!

I started coming here almost 2 years ago, and the CED family has been nothing short of amazing. My schedule gets unexpectedly hectic at times and aside from them being very understanding, they have class availability everyday that allows me to make up for the time I miss. My questions are always answered, and many times they’ve gone what seems like above and beyond to get me the information I need to become a better dancer. Needless to say, I definitely recommend CED.

Though I am now co-owner, I started out at Cleveland Exotic Dance as a student. I had recently been diagnosed with lupus with a questionable prognosis. I was on steroids to control it and consequently gained a lot of weight very quickly. Despite the steroids, walking was becoming a struggle and my liver and kidneys were beginning to fail. I was starting to hate everything about my body and felt that it had turned on me. I started taking classes to try to feel comfortable with my new overweight self and maybe loosen up my joints, but pole and burlesque ended up being the catalyst for starting my new (healthier) life living with lupus.In the past decade since starting to come to CED, Ive lost most of the weight, gotten my lupus under control enough to go off all of my medications, and have been in remission now for 7 years. My lupus is under control enough that I was able to carry two healthy babies to term, something that is rare with my diagnosis.I started classes to help me feel more comfortable in my own skin, and I ended up feeling more at peace with the way I looked than I had in my entire life. When Roxi offered me a position as an instructor, I embraced the opportunity as a way to help people not just feel more comfortable with how they look and feel, but learn to LOVE themselves.

We went there for a bachelorette party and we had a BLAST! It was a lot of fun. We also had people of all ages, from 22-56 and everyone was able to participate and have a great time! Would highly recommend.

Not only do you learn a lot and get a great workout, but you have SO MUCH FUN! This is such a warm and welcoming environment, and the instructors truly make you feel like part of a community! :)

I have taken classes on and off since 2016 with about a half dozen instructors. I can say that Cleveland Exotic Dance is one of the most welcoming and inviting fitness places you will find in Cleveland or otherwise. The instructors are not only knowledgeable about pole and lyra (the classes I take in particular), but they are kind, motivating, supportive, and overall provide a classroom that allows students to thrive.The students in the classes are also gems - I am so glad to have found a place like CED, because it provides me with a positive place where other students cheer me on when I tackle difficult moves.I recommend Cleveland Exotic Dance to everyone - complete and utter newbie, like myself, or experienced dancer looking for a challenge, you will find a home here.

Fun, did my sis Bachelorette party here on Saturday. Disappointed in Not learning a routine to a song. it was hard to find one of the girls that was coming to the dance studio who was already paid for had to sit outside the whole time because yShe didnt know where it was and couldnt get a hold of any of us cuz we were all in the studio dancing

Very nice class. Instructor Kori is great. Keeps you moving nice work out. I really like Nikkis class. She is so fun!! The only bad part is that there are absolutely no mirrors which makes things a little akward.

This place is amazing and the staff are really fun!! Couldn’t be happier that my wife went to check it out and learn a new particular set of skills, if I wasn’t 100% sure I would actually break a leg would’ve given it a go too!

Great classes and instructors! Very welcoming environment. Pricing is reasonable for what you get. Only down side is walking up 5 flights of stairs to the studio but i like to think of it as the pre-class workout.

I started here as a student and it truly is a magical place where everyone is welcome. This studio has a family atmosphere and you will have the opportunity to learn so much and grow here. Ive taken many classes ; pole, lyra, stretch, yoga...and all are fantastic. Every instructor Ive had really wants their students to reach their goals and they are available to help you every step of the way. If youre curious about taking any class definitley come check out CED.

Had a great time with the bachelorette party. Instructor (Dani?) was very helpful and energized. The studio has tons of classes from pole to Lyra to belly dancing and more

The most wonderful place, for cardio and encouragement .

Chose this a birthday celeberation for a friend. She absolutely loved it! Me and the rest of the gals enjoyed ourselves as well. Our instructor Kim was awesome!I highly recommend them for a girls night out or even just for some great cardio.

Roxi is so FREAKING awesome! I had so much fun for my birthday!

Amber is a great instructor, she taught us two routines for my bachelorette party. The location was confusing to get to and it really doesnt look like much on the outside, but we were all impressed with how great the instruction was, how nice the facilities were, and how much fun we had. Definitely worth it.

I feel like every time I come back to CED, no matter how long its been since Ive worked out, the instructors are welcoming and Im always able to rebuild my skills quickly! This is a great studio.

I can only speak about the pole, dance and stretch classes. Overall, Cleveland Exotic Dance is amazing! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable about the pole moves. They will get you to your goals with good form and pointed toes. Kades stretch class will make your body feel amazing. I highly recommend it. The dance class will teach you technique and other specialties to improve your dance skills. Ive learned ballet and country line dancing here. They also have monthly themes to become a well rounded poler. Most of all, the people here are so friendly! They have monthly pole jams which is a great opportunity to socialize with everyone from the studio. If your looking for a professional place with a fun workout CED is the place.

I lovveee this place! Vey welcoming. Roxy is awsome and the classes are affordable and fun. You can learn for fun or strive to get good, you work at your own paceand everyone stays in their lane...i love going to my pole class.

Had a horrible experience at CED several months ago. I brought my sister and it was our very first time trying hoop. The teacher Kade was over ten minutes late starting class and we never got an apology or discount, so a class that was supposed to be an hour and a half ended up being almost fifteen minutes shorter for the same amount of money. She yelled at us for not warming up right, even though she hollered at us from the corner to warm ourselves up with no explanation on how or what to do and she just watched and scrutinized. We arent very fitness-savvy people, so were a little clumsy with things, but she was just ruthless and rude and gave us no good feedback whatsoever. We tried some hoop moves and she was little no to help when we couldnt figure things out, and seemed like we were just inconveniencing her by being there and cutting into her being able to have time with her regular customers. She then spent the rest of the class huddled in the corner with the other regular students whispering behind her hands and making rude they talk too much gestures as if we couldnt see. I will NEVER be back. This is the first fitness class Ive taken in a really long time, as Ive been taking care of my sick dad, and I expected a caring and accepting atmosphere and experienced exactly the opposite.

My favorite place to go to be myself. Welcoming and no judgement.

Awesome place, very welcoming, great staff, very individualized towards ur skill level. Great place to start learning to dance, and to learn pole. Great other classes too, very fun!! Please try this place out if ur interested, just started here have been here for abt a month now and Im so happy here ive come a long way since the beginning. Dont be shy, girls of all shapes and sizes and color and even some disabled come here. Doesnt matter you go at ur iwn pace and they WILL work with u. Remember you are beautiful!!

Had a great time. motivates me and lisa is a great instructor,

The instructor was very rude. She didnt introduce herself. She was on her phone in between routines. She only gave instruction once and told us to follow another girl from our group. I would never come here again.
