We’re expanded our class schedule, and increased class sizes, so there is no longer a wait to schedule! We’re focusing on spin pole this month, and have several specialty classes on the horizon.
More Weekly Pole & Lyra Classes
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 Spin Month!
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 spinning. In our pole classes, this could mean focusing on spin pole (where the pole itself spins), or doing spins around a static or spinning pole. In our non-aerial classes, there will be a focus on pivots, turns, and changing the audience’s perspective.
Upcoming Specialty Classes & Series
Beginner Chair Dance
Monday, January 23rd 7:15-8:45pm
In Studio Only
Build a solid foundation in chair dance! By the end of this specialty class you will feel comfortable in a variety of sexy posed chair positions, and will have learned how to connect them in different ways. You can then take this to add a new layer to a private dance, to use in burlesque, or a good foundation to more acrobatic chair skills in the future.
Wear comfortable clothing you can freely move in. We will learn bare foot, but you are welcome to bring heels if you want to try the moves with shoes on.
Brand new beginners welcome!
This special workshop is $25 per person. Unlimited Pass holders can use one of their specialty class credits towards this class.
THIS CLASS IS CURRENTLY WAITLISTED. Your card will automatically be charged if you move off of the waitlist.
Dance Like a Stripper
Tuesdays, January 31st-March 7th 7:15-8:15pm
In Studio Only
Come join the Stripper Style army at CED! This is an untamed and explicit 6 week experience that will have you rolling your body, shaking your booty, and loving your body like no other class out there.
This series is intended for those who want to explore this style of movement for various reasons.
Confidence
Body Awareness
Sexual Agency
Self Ownership
Expression and Erotic Artistry
Fun
Curiosity about strippers and strip clubs (bring your questions!)
This is not necessarily a class for getting a job at a strip club, but we will certainly support you if that’s where you want to go with it.
By the time the 6 weeks is over you’ll be ready to take it to a stage, and we will provide that stage. The 6 class sessions will be on Tuesdays, Jan 31st – March 7th, 7:15-8:15pm. On Friday March 10th, after our evening classes, will be your graduation!!!! We will turn CED into a mock strip club, complete with club lights, fog, and play money to rain all over you.
This course is intended for ANYONE 18+. All kinds of striping can be explored here. From the mainstream strip club styles, to alternative adult entertainment. All genders, and the exploration of gender expression, are welcome!
Do you need pole experience? NOPE! Not at all. Pole Dance may have come to us from the strip clubs, but pole is not required for stripper style dance. If you know pole tricks already from other classes, then you can use them in your performance. If you don’t know any pole at all, you will learn everything you need to know that would still be more than a newbie stripper auditioning in a club for the first time. So don’t worry about any lack of pole skill. All you really need for this class is to be ready to step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself.
Dance Like a Stripper is a complete series course meaning all 6 weeks of class are REQUIRED. You do not have to participate in the graduation club night, but we highly recommend that capstone experience. If illness or something else comes up to where you need to miss a class we will do our best to catch you up for the next week. There are no refunds for missed classes. Please be seriously committed to the full series before signing up. Contact us with any questions or potential schedule conflicts you would like to check with us about before signing up.
This class is $100 for the six week course plus graduation. This class is not included on any passes.
THIS CLASS IS CURRENTLY WAITLISTED. Your card will automatically be charged if you move off of the waitlist.
Lap Dance & Striptease
Saturday, February 4th 1:30-3:00pm
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/Oversized 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 special workshop is $25 per person. Unlimited Pass holders can use one of their specialty class credits towards this class.
