My friend and I took a class here and had such a great experience. This studio in Medford, New York offers a really welcoming space for women’s dance classes. My friend and I were both new, and Heather was incredibly patient with us. She took the time to come over to each of us individually and walk us through the moves so we could really understand what we were doing. It made the whole experience comfortable, supportive, and fun. I would definitely recommend it to any woman looking for dance classes in the area.

My daughter has been taking aerial classes here for 2 years. The owner Heather is incredible to work with and flexible which is great with kids classes. Medford location teacher Grace is great with my girl, and makes class incredibly fun. I have even taken private classes myself with my daughter and it was so fun and quite the workout.

My first time at Shimmy Shimmy for aerial yoga. This was a great experience. The studio is easy to find, good parking & gorgeous studio. The instructor Heather was kind, calm & patient for a group of newbies. I will definitely be back!

I’ve always wanted to try pole dancing but was unsure if I’d ever be any good. A friend of mine started and mentioned it to me, so I figured I’d give it a try. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve never seen myself gain confidence doing something the way I do in Heather’s pole foundations class. She is an AMAZING teacher - kind, patient, and positive. The perfect recipe for a mentor when learning something new. Shimmy is my escape for the week and I look forward to next weeks class the second I leave. If you’re debating on trying let this be your sign. You will feel so proud of all you can achieve in such a short amount of time. 😊

Shimmy Shimmy has been my favorite workout spot on Long Island. The owner, Heather, cultivates an inviting space for people of all types, ages, sizes, etc so that anyone can enjoy class in a judgement free zone. She keeps class feeling positive while providing a challenging workout. If a trick is not making sense to you, she takes the time describing it in different ways until it finally clicks. And when you get that skill, Heather celebrates with you! Another instructor I had, Grace, did a great job at breaking down skills and giving different stretches and conditioning for those specific skills.

Had an amazing group class for my sister's bachelorette party. Couldn’t recommend this studio more and the owner was amazing & patient with a very inexperienced group!!! You will love it.

I've been taking Heathers pole foundations class once a week since February & EVERYONE needs to try this class, once you do you will be thinking about it every day. I tried this class with two of my best friends and it’s a great way to have fun with your girls while getting a great workout in. This class gives you so much confidence and is so much fun! Heather is a great teacher , very encouraging, easy going and so sweet! The vibes of the class is very chill, you go at your own pace and there’s no pressure and it’s just fun! You just need to experience it for yourself to understand it!!! This has become my favorite hobby and I look forward to it every week!

Heather is THE BEST!!! I look forward to going to pole every single week. Whether it’s in the Miller Place or Medford location, both studios are beautiful and perfect for what Heather teaches! She’s so graceful and flawless ! And truly helps out so much with getting me to understand what to do. I wish I could give 10 stars!!!! Thank you for the best time always Heather!!! It’s so fun, freeing and I just can’t wait to get better!

Used this very professional entertainer for my husband's 70th birthday party . Was beautiful, fun and talented. Knew how to read the crowd and made this enjoyable for everyone!

I started taking pole dancing back in June. Heather is a very competent instructor, providing a professional and upscale environment. The classes are affordable, cater to all ages (I’m 60) and are really fun. If you’re tired of the gym & looking for something to shake up your routine, this is the place for you. I’ve been a gym rat for 30+ years - it has really helped me improve flexibility (which is extremely important especially as we age) and toned my core like nobody’s business and increased my upper body strength. She has two convenient locations. If you’re on the fence, don’t be shy. Come join us.

Heather was the HIGHLIGHT of our bachelorette weekend! She made the experience so fun and lighthearted, pivoting what we were doing based on ability and our want to try different moves. We spent probably an hour doing pole work and then she taught us a chair dance that we are all tempted to break out at the wedding. Our group of 9 could not stop talking about how much fun we had for the rest of our trip. I need an excuse to book her again for a class!

What a beautiful studio. Shimmy shimmy has helped this 50 year old get back in shape! I was so nervous at first. The teacher is so encouraging and everyone supports each other. I was at a few meditation events which are amazing and I decided to try pole dancing again ( it’s been a very long time). I was nervous because at 50 my body has changed and not what it used to be. The classes keep it classy and I felt so welcomed by everyone. I never felt old or out of place. I still have a long way to go but we have so much fun that it doesn’t really feel like a fitness class. I’m excited to continue this journey with shimmy shimmy. If you’re looking to feel comfortable by the instructor and students I recommend this place no matter what age or fitness level you are at.
