OMG!! What an amazing group of professional instructors. I completed 1.5 hours of class today. Twerk, chair dance, pole dancing, mixed cardio and yoga. I wish they were located in VA. I would love to come back. Everyone should try this at least one time.

Black owned business! Women owned business! What's not to love?!...I recently hosted my best friends Bachelorette Party in the DC/ Maryland area! I booked a private event here on the mere hopes that the pictures from the website and reviews would be great and steer me in the right direction.... they did! The owner, Crystal, made the process super easy, comfortable, and inviting! The class was an hour long and the instructor killed it. We were a small group of 4 but she didn't short us of the experience. I would definitely go back!!! 🤸🏾‍♀️💕

I can honestly say this is the very first time I have experienced a boring and long winded pole lesson. The instructor was tired and had no real energy. Compared to other pole dance studios the instructor will go through each section of the routine and than have you put it all together. We were just doing moves. Parking is available so that plus.

I started with a intro offer and have been hooked ever since the instructors are knowledgeable the facility is accommodating and they have a variety of available classes I myself was interested in pole. I have been going since the new year and since I see such a difference I am so much stronger but also proud of the fact that I’ve made a lot of progress, no matter the body you are in you will feel comfortable and sexier after going.

If you’ve ever contemplated taking a pole dancing class, this is your sign to do so! I took a pole 1 class with Markita and had a BLAST! You get to learn a bunch of different moves and at the end put them all together in a routine. I’d recommend bringing knee pads but if you don’t have any, they have some available to rent and to buy!

So many fitness classes in one place. The staff/instructors are friendly and vibrant. I got a 6 month membership for $120/month. Any given week Im taking yoga, zumba, mixxedfit and Twerkit.

Been going here for over a year now and I stand by my first review (see above). I've tried most of the classes they offer. I love pole fitness and lyra. These classes really push me out of my comfort zone.

This place was so much fun yet challenging at the same time... I wanted to do some time of heel or pole class while I was visiting and I searched for somewhere I would feel comfortable... From the review this place looked perfect... There were women advertised who looked like me so I was able to sense the vibe i was going to get and I was right!... The main things I like about the class was for one,  the lighting was dim and colored... Idk why but it made me feel my feminine sexual energy more (call me different 😅) ..two, it was only four other women taking the class so it was very intimate which was a plus because Im already shy in that type of environment... The instructor was very warming and welcoming... She encouraged us go feel ourselves (literally and figuratively 😂), which was very nice imo because I tend to get in my own head a lot, sometimes having that constant reminder is very beneficial... Also KNEE PADS KNEE PADS KNEE PADS,  I didn't have my own so I rented a pair from the studio for $3...i glad the instructor suggested/stressed them because they made moving on the floor a lot more comfortable

This place is absolutely phenomenal. I purchased a Groupon deal on yoga classes and have been attending Keisha's yoga class. Keisha is always on time for class and has a wonderful personality. She does an amazing job understanding what the attendees want to work on before class begins (balancing, flexibility, stretching, etc.). My overall experience with Divas and Dolls has been amazing. When I first signed up for the Groupon deal and had a concern about class scheduling, I was immediately called by the owner wanted to better understand my issue. Before class, there are temperature checks to ensure safety during this COVID environment. Scheduling classes are easy and the staff is always available to answer any questions or concerns. Even after my Groupon deal ends, I will continue to support this establishment!

I've been coming to Divas and Dolls Fitness for 6 months starting in late 2020. At the beginning, I was excited joining! I loved my instructors and the atmosphere. I loved it so much that I didn't mind driving 40ish minutes, but right of the bat I noticed that they NEVER start classes on time. NEVER. I understand that we were/are still in a pandemic; however, if staff knew from the beginning that they would allocate time from cleaning/sanitizing then they should have the actually class time, with sanitizing in mind, be reflected on their class schedule to avoid people waiting 15-30 mins before they can actually get into the building. Mind you, the classes during the week are already much later in the day (6:30 pm/ 8:05 pm). For instance, have the class schedule say 7 pm/ 8:35 pm. If you go to D&DF PLEASE do not rush to be there at the time the app/website tell you when the class will start -- you will be waiting. Don't you dare arrive 10-15 mins BEFORE the class is supposed to start -- you will be waiting even more.

For the pole levels, if you are starting out in pole, having to do assessment to advance into the next pole level then this may be for you. However, you will find yourself stuck in one level, waiting to learn how to invert and any moves that involves inverting at the very last pole level (Pole 4). For instance, if you are unable to do a pole move or two, you will not advance until you get it...even if the move is completely not related to inverting. With that being said, intermediate/advance looks a lot different from any other pole studio you may visit. Thus, you would get into the "true" intermediate/advance moves until you get to Pole 4 meanwhile others may start you conditioning/training much sooner and getting you going with those moves much much sooner.

Lastly, I booked a private lesson with an instructor. I had to reschedule twice due to a "scheduling mix-up". The first time I'm so glad I called that morning to make sure I was all set and they had no idea what I was talking about. The second time (most recent) for that same lesson, I drove 47-50 mins to get to my lesson just for the instructor to not show up. At this point, I'm completely fed up with the studio. I was offered another private lesson in addition to the original one, but I was just tired of being inconvenienced on top of the distance, so I kindly declined.

Oh man, let me not forget how pricy they are for memberships/class packs to never start their pole classes on time. If you value your time and a place to go for the long-term, I recommend that you continue to do your research on different studios. I'm not even the one to write reviews like this, but the last incident is what did it for me.

On a good note, Natonyia is such a great instructor!

The only perk of this place is that is close to where I live, but classes have started extremely late. While yes, it takes 10-15 to clean the studio, they still start 10-15 minutes later than that. Along with that being an inconvenience, we often got rushed out of class by classes in a different room (this happened in like 3 classes and we weren’t able to record!!)

It’s just very unprofessional to me.. in addition, their prices are not competitive. You’d pay way too much for the poor service and class content at DDF.

I liked this place at first, until I had a tragic fire and lost Everything a day before I had a party scheduled. This company wouldn’t give me a refund. Wouldn’t even look into it. Lost all further business with me, I was planning to start going there regularly. My comment was deleted off there Instagram because they didn’t want anyone see it it. People just don’t care anymore.

Staff took safety precautions and wiped down the door & mats after classes, took your temperature before entering and spaced you 6ft apart with a small class. It was fun & a workout. I suggest not eating or drinking liquor because you will feel so heavy and unable to move with the flow. Desiree was my teacher and she was fun, friendly and gave me good advice for a workout move that will help me during class times. I will be back. Thanks Divas And Dolls

From pole dancing, chair flair, sexy floor stretching to zumba to yoga and more there is a total body workout in all of it.

Joined DDF family after experiencing an amazing Diva’s Night Out event. Loved the environment because it was open, judgement free, and I felt empowered to be sexy. My goal was to become more fit and maybe shed a few pounds while being sexy. I started with Pole Series 1 and have ended up taking Chair Flair, Zumba, Lap Dance, and still have more classes that I am interested in. This has replaced a gym membership for me. Pole Class is not easy by far but the progress I’ve shown in the series classes is immense and I’m proud of myself. The ladies at DDF are a joy to be around because they push you to work hard in such an enjoyable way and with such an inviting space and environment, I’m sure I’ll reach my fitness goals in no time. Huge thank you to the entire DDF team!!! 😜😍

I started at D&D in February 2019. I was nervous because of my size and being out of shape. I decided to start with a stretching class, which l thought would be fairly easy....it was not, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast forward 7 weeks later and I'm taking pole, chair, floor, and stretching classes. The staff is welcoming and encouraging. It is a constant air of positivity and support at D&D. I have found it easy to connect with other memebers/participants. The wide range of classes keep you interested and always finding ways to challenge yourself. The owner, Krystal, is 100% invested in the members, staff, and overall success/growth of D&D. Simply put, I love this place and am really excited to see my continued progress in such a supportive environment.
