Doll House Pole Fitness, Manassas

In 2011, Von Brianna achieved one of the highest honors possible for a pole-fitness competitor: the title of Miss Georgia Pole Champion at the Southern Regional Pole Fitness Competition. But she didn't let the honor go to her head. To the contrary, her win inspired Von to open Doll House Pole Fitness. Here, energized instructors deliver pole-dancing fitness to the masses––including people who had probably never stepped up to the pole—with the goal of making pole-dancing a normal part of everyone's fitness regime.

They gently ease new students into pole-dancing through introductory classes. These 50-minute sessions teach foundational pole and floor work. Once pupils have conquered that class, they're free to move on to other beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes. The studio also offers exotic dance classes as well as free-play sessions where students can practice pole dancing without instruction.
