Welcome to Velvet & Chrome Chicago

It’s not just Pole Dance to us- it is community, a safe space, a place for expression and acceptance. At V&C, we want you to fall in love with pole the way we did, and to feel supported along every step of your dance journey in whatever way that looks like.

We take pride in prioritizing safety and proper technique in your training while not shying away from the importance of artistic finesse. Nothing brings our team of instructors more joy than seeing students get a trick or execute a move they never thought they could. You are much stronger than you realize, we promise! Walking through the door is the hardest part, but the fact that you’re on our website proves your mind is made up. So get over here already!

For all the girls who weren’t girly enough, the boys who refused to fit into a box, the folks who needn’t be defined by gender at all - you can sit at our table. Come join a class and dance with us, and don’t miss a chance to be unapologetically yourself.

Velvet & Chrome acknowledges and celebrates that the art of pole dance comes from Strippers and Sex Workers.
