    Don't be put off by the odd location! ... Thalia was completely lovely, and our group had an awesome time! We appreciated the casual nature of the class–girls who were super into it could get one-on-one help from Thalia, and the rest of us could have fun spinning on the poles or taking a break on the couches. I loved that Thalia asked for music requests before the class! Totally would recommend for a fun bachelorette party.

    I've been taking classes from Jaeya and she's a really great teacher! She's all about you finding your own flow and is open to teaching you whatever you want to learn. Super flexible with classes and you can learn whatever you want. This place has a great vibe and the best prices in Portland. Plus everyone's really chill.

    Brassy Butterfly has been a great studio through the years and has only gotten better. When I first started nearly 7 years ago, I could barely lift myself up, but under the leadership of Lolita I have grown strength and confidence. The dimly lit studio space is intimate with 4 spinning poles and 1 static pole, but the instructors and students create a welcoming environment for all levels and body types. I never imagined that I would have kept up with pole after all these years, and if I was at any other studio that might have been the case. But Brassy Butterfly and its relaxed atmosphere has instilled in me a love of pole that I hope to continue well into middle & old age!

    YESS!


    * Love that there are mirrors in the studio (Seeing how you are positioned is a MUST in any dance.)

    * Playing dress up is optional

    * The studio itself is super cozy


    ...Thalia is a fantastic instructor! Very talented pole artist with a knack for explaining how to move your body in a specific way that not many people can. She's super patient, lets her students explore and really knows how to set a positive, comfortable, fun, safe tone for the students in her class. Also the studio is so cute in itself and really think other pole fitness places should really follow Brassy Butterfly's model.

    I can't say enough good things.
