    Catalyst Movement is a great place to have your party. I had my birthday party here and my friends and I had a time living our stripper girl fantasy. They had a cute birthday set up for me with a crown and sash. Our instructor was great and went over the routine as many times as we needed which was helpful. I can see myself definitely hosting another party here.

    This studio was phenomenal. I took some private lessons to prepare a dance as a present for my partner. I'm pretty self conscious but found nothing but encouragement at the studio. We worked within my limits, I was given lots of tips and feel more confident than ever. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

    Celebrated my cousin’s bachelorette at Catalyst and we all loved it!! It was a group of 11 so we did have to partner up as there’s only 6 poles, but that wasn’t an issue we had a lot of fun! The instructors were so nice and helpful. They even had little gifts for all of us!Class was very beginner friendly. We all left wanting to do it again!
