"Being new to the area, I was nervous and a bit apprehensive to start at a new studio, but I’m so glad I made the decision to book onto a class. I’ve only attended Jennya’s classes so far (which I’ve really enjoyed!) but both she and Anna have been really welcoming and friendly. I love the relaxed, supportive vibe which the studio has and I’m excited to continue my pole journey under the guidance of A-Core 😊"
