The studio offers pole classes for all skill levels and artistic styles, alongside non-pole classes including heels and twerking.

The studio's mission centres on pole dancing and sensual movement as unique physical and mental experiences that inspire liberation, self-expression, and joy. They aim to create a safe and welcoming space where patrons can explore creativity and full potential, removing judgements and boundaries across genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, and skill levels.
Beyond group classes, Songbird offers private lessons tailored for beginners getting started with pole, students looking to unlock advanced classes, or dancers wanting to explore their personal style and vision. The studio also hosts special workshops that vary based on instructor availability and student interest.
The space is equipped with professional-quality stainless steel poles that are regularly maintained and have no weight limit. The studio also offers space rental for those seeking self-serve, flexible access to the studio. For celebrations and events, Songbird hosts instructor-led pole parties for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and corporate team events accommodating up to 20 participants, with optional custom choreography and professional videography services available.
The studio operates an 18-and-over environment and maintains a judgement-free zone policy. Students sign up via the Songbird Dance app (available on the App Store and Google Play Store) or online, and must review liability waivers and terms before class. The San Francisco location is near public transit, with the closest Muni station at Van Ness Ave & Bush St (1 min walk), street parking nearby on Bush St, and a parking garage less than 500 feet away at Polk-Bush offering about 130 spots, EV chargers, and valet services.
