We’re already looking ahead to the new year! We have a brand new weekly class schedule for 2023, and have several series kicking off the first week of January!
Schedule your 2023 Classes!
We have released our weekly class schedule for 2023!
We’ve expanded our pole and lyra class offerings, added a few more weekly classes, and give the entire schedule a good shake up.
We have also increased class sizes to pre-pandemic levels, so there are now more spaces in all classes!

It’s Dark Side December!
Each month at Cleveland Eclectic Dance, we focus on a different skill, style of dance, or body part in all of regular classes.
This month at CED, we’re focusing on training your opposite side. For polers that usually means their weaker side or non-dominant hand; the dreaded “Dark Side.” We will spend the month working to fix any imbalances that you might be creating while poling, and work backwards to make sure you have core moves on both sides.
Having a “bad side” isn’t limited to pole. We will be challenging our lesson flexible and/or side all month long in our Dance & Fitness classes. This may mean learning turns both ways, training splits on your bad side, or learning to lead with your non-dominant side in moves.

Lap Dance & Striptease
Saturday, December 17th 12:00-1:30pm
In Studio Only
Build a private routine to wow your significant other. Dance techniques, setting up the space, striptease tips, and up close and personal moves. The perfect class if you want something to take home for you and your partner.
You will learn how to strip out of the clothing you have on, so you’ll need a base layer that does not come off. We recommend a bathing suit as your base since the clothes you are taking off will slide easily over the bathing suit. As far as the outfit you will learn how to strip out of, we have a set routine with the following:
Bra (back closure)
Panties (2 pairs)
Skirt
Men’s button down long-sleeved shirt (we have some extras you can borrow)
Tie
Even though we have a set routine using those articles of clothing, feel free to wear anything you want to learn to strip out of. For instance if you have a certain outfit you want to learn to strip out of for your next date night, then you should certainly bring it!!!
This class is $25 per person and Unlimited Pass holders can use one of their specialty class credits towards the class.
THIS CLASS IS CURRENTLY WAITLISTED. Your card will automatically be charged if you move off of the waitlist.

Static Rotations
Tuesdays, January 3rd-24th 7:15-8:15pm
In Studio Only
Look like you are on a spinning pole without the dizziness! This is an introduction to static rotation techniques which use hand and grip changes while shifting body weight through hips and shoulders to create transitions and poses that wrap your body around the pole. Practicing these techniques will bring a seamless look to your static pole work that will have people wondering if your pole is spinning or not.
You should be comfortable with climbing, sits, and beginner inversions. Most techniques we practice will not be inverted, so it’s ok if you don’t quite have your invert yet.
This series is suitable for levels 3 and up. It is highly recommended that you take all 4 classes. Please contact us if you cannot make any of the classes in this series.
