I first attended Wild Orchard nearly two years ago. I was looking for a creative outlet and space. Although I love the art form and creativity that comes with pole dance, what really makes Wild Orchid special and what has kept me coming back is the community. I’ve been a part of different performance and creative spaces my entire life, and this is the healthiest art community I’ve ever been in. Everyone is authentically welcome and excepted here, regardless of shape, skill level, or strength. If you want to fly in a room full of your own personal cheerleaders, this is the space for you (and who wouldn’t want that?).

After moving to town from out of state, I was desperately looking for a community and space to bring art and movement back into my life. Wild Orchid has been nothing but positivity and love from the moment I stepped into the studio! The community is beyond supportive of each other, and everyone is welcome no matter where they come from or what their background is. If you have a desire to move, there is space for you! The instructors do a wonderful job of creating a beautiful environment to grow, and I truly couldn’t be more blessed to be a part of this family of dancers!

Wild Orchid has become my second home over the past year. I thought I could never participate fully due to my size, but I am so thankful I was wrong about that! The instructors are welcoming and encouraging, helping to breathe life and a desire to dance and be free into my soul. The space the instructors create gives you all you need to work on yourself physically and mentally, no matter where you are in life or where youve come from. Body positive, inclusive, encouraging, life changing. Seriously, if youre thinking of trying it, you will not regret it!

Ive been a member of WO for three years now and joining this community is genuinely one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Pole has helped me in so many ways: physically, mentally, and spiritually Im in a better place than I was when I moved to Bloomington. Ive met some amazing friends and mentors, and the community is so loving and supportive! If youve ever considered trying any of the aerial arts, this is the best place to take that leap.

Wild Orchid has helped me to grow physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and in other ways I didn’t imagine possible. The instructors genuinely care about your progress and the WO community encourages you through out your experience. There is beautiful things happening at Wild Orchid.

Me and all my girls had a blast this weekend! Could have asked for a better instructor to teach us at my bachelorette! Hallie was amazing. We might just have to make the drive again sometime to do it all over. Thanks so much Hallie for making my day one everyone will remember!

Starting at Wild Orchid was one of the best things Ive ever done for myself. The atmosphere is positive, encouraging and non-judgmental. You will learn skills you never though youd be able to do, and will be surrounded with people from all abilities and backgrounds. If youve been thinking about it, definitely go for it!

I just finished the pole dancing 101 and I cant wait to start the intermediate class! Anita is amazing and its SO much fun! In just three weeks Ive gotten so much better, I cant wait to get better and better with pole fitness! If youve ever thought of it, just try it!

Oh my goodness!! I took my sister-in-law here for a private group lesson on her birthday and it was a BLAST! We were very inexperienced— some of us never work out, some of us can’t dance to save our lives, some can’t hear rhythm, Ect. Anita was our instructor and made us feel like her own. She was welcoming from the beginning, never made any of us feel weak or inadequate. She simply offered alternative moves and encouraged us so well! We learned so much from her- not only in dance but also in confidence.Although we were only with her for 1.5 hours, she feels like a friend. If you ask, she’ll take photos of your group and record your final dance. She answered her phone after hours when I had random questions. She was flexible with payment and allowed me to pay on sight. She was very professional and uplifting.So so thankful for our experience!

So much fun and a great workout!! Went here for a friends bachelorette party and the instructor was amazing! I love how body positive it is, and they are great at matching everyones pace. 10/10 would recommend!

This place is wonderful! Such a fun experience. I felt so comfortable here and I’d recommend it to everyone!

This place is amazing. I have been doing aerial yoga. It is suitable for all shapes and sizes, the staff could not be more knowledgeable, welcoming, and helpful. I am building core strength, having fun, and learning how to move in ways I have not in years. I fell in love instantly and strongly recommend trying it.

I took a private class for a small group of women led by Anita. I’m an athlete and not really into the sexy moves but the rest of my group wanted less of the athletic stuff and more of the sexy. Anita did a fantastic job working with our group’s differences where we all had a fantastic workout and left feeling uplifted. She showed us proper technique, allowed modifications, and gave us challenges once the more basic skills were mastered. Her instruction was clear and fun and the music just added to that playful vibe. I definitely recommend taking a private class at Wild Orchid for a group. So much fun!

I absolutely loved the silks class wild orchid offers. Before coming I was nervous about it being for all levels but the teachers really take their time for you and make sure that you feel safe. It was such a fun full-body work out in a great environment! I would highly recommend the course.

I have been practicing yoga for over a decade. Today I took my first aerial yoga class with Anna. Knowing it was my first time, Anna was attentive to making sure I understood how to use the silks and access poses. The community at Wild Orchid was also great, a couple students took the time to ask what I thought of it which made me feel welcomed. Aerial yoga is fun while also allowing deep access to stretch and core work. The feeling of being suspended inside the hammock was incredibly supportive. Ill be back!

Wild Orchid has brought so much joy and positivity into my life. I started doing aerials more than two years ago with zero experience in any type of athletic activity. I could feel so much growth in myself: in my confidence level, body image, and physical strength. I loved aerials so much that I connected with the owner on how to become an instructor. In the time since I started with Wild Orchid, I have received my 200 hour yoga teaching certification and teach aerial yoga and Pole Foundations. Wild Orchid has given me more than I could have imagined and Im grateful to have found this place here in Bloomington!

I wanted to try something new and pole fitness seemed like a valid option. I wanted to give it a try so I did the $5 beginner class. I was so nervous to go in alone but I was soooo impressed. Amazing and helpful instructors, a great group of uplifting learners and just a great vibe. I will continue to go here and for anyone skeptical, take that step out of your comfort zone cause it’s worth it!

This place is amazing! The facility is bright and colorful, instructors are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and the location is perfect. If you are looking at getting into the aerial arts, need a new activity, or just want to meet some awesome people and have fun this is the place for you! I’d give it 10 stars if I could

I attended a private pole dancing class at Wild Orchid as part of a bachelorette party, and it was an absolute blast. Would 100% recommend this place, the space is beautiful and the time and attention you get from the staff is incredible. Anita is the owner and she leads a fun, and sexy but classy session. We had such a good time, a must-do for bachelorette parties!!

This studio is just the best! The community of people is open and accepting, while the instructors truly want the best for their students. Wild Orchid is growing, and always striving to be better in all aspects. If I still were in Bloomington, Id still be coming all day every day!

I couldnt be off the ground for any height or length of time. I always had a fear of heights even short distances from the floor. Thanks to the positive environment and supportive teachers, I was able to face my fears, climb a pole and really fly. WO is a supportive space for people who are new to movement as well as veterans learning to expand their skills.

Been involved with Wild Orchid from the beginning, and I have grown and created so much more than I could have imagined at the start. Come fly with us!

Super engaged, passionate staff and beautiful studio!! Very welcoming towards newcomers and have a lot to offer for all walks of life.

Outed me as a sex worker. then tried to say i was being racist. glad i got out of that contract

The facility -- splendid, supportive, inspiring. The people/community -- all that multiplied by 5!!!

Best bachelorette party! Super fun!
