Coming from Australia where pole dancing is mainstream, there really aren't many pole dancing studios in San Fran surprisingly - Studio Botan really is the place to go to learn this in a friendly, open environment that isn't available anywhere else. - L.P.

I love coming to Studio Botan whenever I can get the chance. The studio is a co-ed studio, which is a plus for me. Definitely a great place to check out if you're interested in pole dancing as an "evolving" art.- J.S.
