Quite possibly The best pole studio in the world … I travel, so get to go to a lot of pole studios - if you want to ‘really’ learn moves, in their detail and the right technique so that you can perform them with proper form, elegantly and link moves and be safe : this is the place! … the skills and confidence I have learnt here make learning more complex tricks, choreo infinitely easier. If you are new to pole this place is the best to get your fundamentals solid and you’ll be advancing quicker than you might expect and with more style! ...Oh and lets not forget that the lineup of instructrs here includes Champions at both National and International Levels .... its actually kinda mind blowing to train with these trail blazing legends!

Buttercup Dance Studio is amazing, with tons of classes to choose from & incredible instructors! Also, all the dance studios have great lighting which is fantastic! It's a fun way to exercise or have a private dance party with friends! I highly recommend going!

My first time here was over the weekend for my friend’s birthday… We did a private pool dancing class and my friends and I had an amazing time and Elizabeth was so great! Elizabeth is so friendly and she was a lot of fun and a great teacher! I would definitely recommend this as a class or as a fun activity for the girls to do together- it is not easy. I was definitely sore but in a good way.

I absolutely love Buttercup. It is my home away from home, and where I first made friends after moving to Tampa during the pandemic. The teachers and students are so supportive and empowering of each other, and it is the most entertaining and fun way to get stronger than you thought possible!

I have attended this studio for about 3 1/2 years now. Classes here have given me confidence and helped me grow as a person and as a dancer. I have performed and competed at this studio multiple times, giving me so many memorable moments. This is not only a hobby for me but a fun form of fitness and a space for me to express myself in art. The instructors are phenomenal, making sure you are comfortable and safe. There are a variety of classes to choose from for you to find what you love. The owner is an amazing person, so kind and understanding and of course a flawless dancer.

There are not enough stars to give to the Buttercup pole dance studio. Infinite stars are my rating. These few months have been difficult after a car accident because I am starting over. It has been challenging, and despite my craziness, the instructors have been very supportive. Sarah Jade is full of love, compassion, and support. I had never met anyone like her. I considered Buttercup my second home and my oasis. I wish for Sarah Jade and her instructors many, many blessings. I wish I had found this place 6 years ago.

Buttercup isn't just a pole studio, it's a family. A HUGE studio with 3 rooms, not just with poles but also for aerial classes (sling, lyra, silks). The instructors are all great, led by Sarah Jade who is so talented and also the nicest person you will ever meet. There is a huge stage with two competition style x-poles where they host pole shows for students as well as traveling performers (e.g. Bad to the Chrome, Pole Love, Dance Filthy). It's hidden in a gym but don't let that scare you! There is also a Clearwater Beach location, much smaller but great beach vibe :)

I’ve been going to Buttercup for over a year now and LOVE it!!! I’ve been to many aerial gyms and Buttercup truly delivers an amazing experience from class offerings, to teachers and schedule availability. I’ve done aerial silks and sling classes here and looking forward to trying their new trapeze class! I even got to get another aerial silks performance under my belt at Bad 2 the chrome in March thanks to the amazing silks coach, Audrey!! Highly recommend this fun, welcoming and challenging in the best ways environment!!

I LOVE Buttercup Pole Dance. I felt welcomed from the first time I stepped foot in the studio. It's such a safe space to learn, grow and to get in touch with your sexuality. Every instructor is AMAZING, and Sarah, the owner, is an angel. Forever grateful to have found this studio and will always recommend it.

I spent 4(?) years of my life with this place and it only made me a better person, stronger dancer/athlete, and deepened my appreciation for all the people involved with this small local business! Having trained elsewhere, this has a closer, like-home feeling that's hard to find. You truly cannot go wrong - take an intro class, try and apparatus or two and see what you may discover.

EXCELLENT STUDIO FOR AERIAL CLASSES AS WELL AS POLE. THEY OFFER SLING/HAMMOCK, SILKS, LYRA & TRAPEZE. GREAT INSTRUCTORS WITH A MIX OF TRAINING TO HELP DEVELOP YOUR AERIAL SKILLS. STUDIO OPEN 7 DAYS WITH EVENING AND DAY CLASSES. VERY REASONABLY PRICED PACKAGES/MEMBERSHIPS AND OCCASIONAL PROMO OFFERS. OK FOR BEGINNERS OR ADVANCED AERIALISTS. WAY MORE CEILING HEIGHT THAN MOST AERIAL YOGA STUDIOS IN TAMPA BAY. YOU CAN BOOK A CLASS ON MIND BODY OR THEIR WEBSITE. THIS IS A VERY WELCOMING STUDIO AND THEY HAVE SOME AMAZING SHOWS ON THEIR STAGE SINCE THEY HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO HOLD 3 SEPARATE CLASSSES OR OPEN POLE/AERIAL AT THE SAME TIME.

I’ve been a student at BC for years and I love this space and the relationships that I’ve developed over the years with Sarah, the staff and so many of the students. It’s a very large studio with plenty of space in between poles which is hard to come by. Also so many amazing shows come to BC each year which makes it even more of a staple in the pole community.

We had a group of 12 in a private class with Sarah and it was the highlight of the bachelorette weekend! She was passionate and engaging while also making the class FUN. She made the moves really easy to follow and focused on empowering us in the moves. A few of us had taken pole dance classes in other cities for bachelorettes and agreed that this one was the best! Sarah’s style and the vibe of the studio were differentiators. Even girls that were nervous going in or assumed they would opt to sit out ended up having a blast.

Also great music and mimosas! Would definitely recommend for any large group.

Buttercup was my second home after my divorce. Christina, Krystal, Sarah, Whiskey, and Kaku are all so knowledgeable. Everyone is so kind and will encourage you but only to know where they know you can do something but maybe your brain is telling you that you can't. I felt like they were family and I look fondly on my time at Buttercup. I wish there was one closer to me so I could keep growing with my fellow nutter butters

Went here for the first time with my friend and they have two rooms but yet had us sharing a pole. Not only is that unsanitary and awkward, but you’re paying full price to get half the time on the pole. We also only got 30 seconds each to practice on our own which is definitely not enough time nor worth the money. We brought up the concern to the instructor and her response was “it’s just our policy”. Policies should be written and explained in advance prior to someone booking and spending their money. I also don’t feel like there was any empathy on her end towards our concerns especially with that being out first time going there. UPDATE/REPLY : Once again there seems to be a lack of empathy as you’re over explaining things and not truly understanding where we’re coming from. You do not have to explain the dynamics of a pole class to me. This was not our first pole class, we have been to multiple studios and this has never been an issue. Yes there are alcohol and rags provided, however, no one wants to keep stopping every 5 seconds to clean the pole. Every now and then when the pole gets slippery or during a break is understandable, but you obviously have to do it much more when sharing a pole. Again, the issue at hand isn’t just the fact that we had to share, it’s the fact that the instructors response was that it was your policy, but your “policy” was not listed to us PRIOR to booking and spending our money and driving 30+ mins across town to get there. Also we didn’t mention this in the review, but she told us she would have you reach out to us. It’s two days later and we still hadn’t heard from you, if you were concerned about receiving bad reviews maybe you would’ve reached out about our concerns earlier. Anyway thank you for now getting back to us after we had to leave a review and returning my money as I don’t feel like it was worth it at all.

This place is ridiculous, me and my friend booked a dance class for the hour, this place overbooks and makes you share a pole, so me and the partner I shared the same pole and each had less than 20 minutes on the pole and 30 seconds each of free time on the pole. I wouldn’t have booked this place if I knew you force everyone to share a pole. I stated my issues with the instructor and she didn’t care and was actually very rude, so I figured I’d warn everyone else!

If you're looking for a safe space to feel good in, this is it.

I walked through these doors for the first time a beginner with big anxiety, feeling so small. Getting myself to come here for my first class turned out to be the biggest challenge I would faced because as soon as I was here, I felt seen and supported by not just the instructors, but the other students as well. This space is full of beautiful people. I've been taking class regularly for a year now and I'm transformed in both body and spirit.

With such a vast offering of classes - all lead by welcoming, passionate, skilled instructors - you're sure to find growth here. Buttercup is a staple of the pole community in Tampa. Whether you're starting from scratch or you've been poling for a decade, you will enjoy taking class here.
