Studio Rouge

Studio Rouge teaches pole dance, aerial fitness, and floor-based movement in Clintonville, Columbus. The studio opened under new ownership on May 21st, 2022. Classes span pole dance and pole fitness, aerial hoop (lyra), aerial silks, aerial sling (aerial hammock), chair dance, twerk, flexibility, conditioning, all-level inversions, and hula hoop. The studio runs intro classes for absolute beginners in pole, aerial hoop, aerial silks, and aerial sling, followed by a structured progression: Intro → 100-level → 200-level and beyond. It is suggested to take at least five 100-level classes before testing into the next level. Youth aerial classes run on Sundays at 8:30am for ages 7–17.

The studio welcomes all bodies, genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and backgrounds (age 18+). A 4-week Intro to Pole series costs $145. Signing up in advance is necessary for all classes. Next month's schedule posts by the 15th of the current month.

For your first class, expect a personal introduction and warm-up with fundamental conditioning exercises, followed by learning a few essential moves strung into a short routine, optional freestyle, and cool down. The instructor approach is structured and progressive: you refine what you learn in Intro, build new skills at 100-level, and test upward.

Studio Rouge is located at 4575 N High St, Columbus, OH 43214, next to the Flag Lady's Store. The studio does not have a water fountain but has a sink for refilling water bottles. Bring leggings or workout pants and a comfortable workout top. Go barefoot for pole and aerial classes (heels optional for pole). Do not wear lotion or metal rings or bracelets. Private instruction and parties are available. Cancellation and refund policies, participation waivers, and COVID precautions are outlined on the website.
