ProvocaFIT Pole & Dance Studio

Fantastic experience: I decided to take the leap and take up dance classes again after quite some time away. I was so nervous but I didn't need to be because Jane Silk is possibly one of the most wholesome wonderful teachers I've ever had. They truly bring the best out of you and help you to let go of feeling insecure or worrying about not being perfect. They reassure, push in a gentle way but respect your boundaries to and absolute T! I've been three times now and I imagine I'll keep going ! The studio itself is a lovely little space and the people who go are all great! If you're on the fence about going dont be, just take the leap and you'll be so happy you did.

Fantastic experience: Literally the most welcoming space, with genuinely lovely teachers who support, encourage and help you feel at ease. Classes here are fun, challenging and ultimately a safe space for you to explore movement in whatever form that takes!

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio with fantastic, talented and highly knowledgeable instructors. Provocafit is such a welcoming, supportive and inclusive place that now feels like a home. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to start their pole or dance journey or up their skills.

Fantastic experience: Great pole dancing studio for all levels!!! Friendly and experienced instructors and great community to be part of! And you learn so much as there are different levels tailored to yours! ☺️✨

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place, everyone is so lovely and welcoming, and all the instructors are wonderful humans! My first class was just over 2 years ago, I didn't know anyone and was very shy, but I've become much more confident and have made lifelong friends (which is really hard as an adult). Stop reading reviews and just go and book a class already, you'll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Fun and fitness for all ages, shapes and abilities. Adapting things to your level (whatever that is) is always on the table, and you are always supported to participate as much as you are comfortable with, whether that’s throwing yourself into thick of it, or quietly following along on the fringes. You really can take whatever works for you, no pressure, no drama. Whatever you want from a dance class, you can find it here.

Fantastic experience: As a complete newbie and approaching 50 I was incredibly nervous joining a class. I was warmly welcomed into an incredibly supportive and body positive environment.

Fantastic experience: I have been dancing at Provocafit for over 2 years now! Starting something new on your own can be daunting, but from the moment I came to my first pole class with Shona she was super welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. The instructors are patient, accommodating, and overall incredibly inspiring and talented!! I’m so grateful to have found this studio, I feel like I can show up as myself and it feels like a safe space to dance away

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this studio! If you’re thinking about starting pole, this is honestly the best place to begin your journey. Shona and her team are so lovely, supportive, and welcoming — and it’s such an uplifting vibe from the moment you walk in. The classes are always fun, empowering, and never repetitive, so you’ll never get bored or feel stuck. My personal favourites are Mastering Spin Pole and Sexy Pole — I always leave those classes feeling sexy, strong, and on top of the word! I’ve been attending since 2023, and the growth I’ve seen in both my dancing and confidence is something I never thought possible. I truly don’t think I would’ve made this kind of progress anywhere else. Whether you’re brand new or looking to level up, this studio will support and challenge you every step of the way!

Fantastic experience: Such a supportive and amazing environment! I started pole here over 2 years ago as a complete beginner and I’ve been absolutely loving it. All instructors are incredible! I’ve gained so much confidence and strength since coming here, and I’ve made so many amazing friends. Cannot recommend it enough!!!

Fantastic experience: My home. Where my people are. Such an inclusive and welcoming space ✨️

Fantastic experience: ProvocaFIT is beautiful studio with the most supportive and empowering community! The space is welcoming, the energy is uplifting and every class leaves me feeling stronger and more confident. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Provocafit is very friendly and welcoming, no matter what your level of experience, fitness level, or age. Learning pole is both fun and challenging and I would highly recommend Provocafit as a great place to learn.

Fantastic experience: Could not ask for a more incredible studio. Teachers are all so talented and so kind and inclusive. They've built an amazing community. The classes are all so fun, challenging whilst accommodating where you are at and always a vibe. Could not recommend more x

Fantastic experience: Made me feel really welcome when I joined and would highly recommend. Chair dance and burlesque are the classes I attempt to do! both are really inclusive at any level. Shona adapts the moves to my level and the main thing is your having fun while trying tricks and moves I would never have attempted whilst keeping fit in a really comfortable safe space.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Provacafit enough! Whether you are a beginner curious about pole dance or someone with experience, the classes here cater to all levels. Even though I don’t attend regularly, I never feel out of place and I leave every class feeling stronger, more confident, and uplifted. This studio holds a special place and I’ll keep coming back whenever I can. If you’re thinking about trying, just go for it, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Provocafit is a wonderful studio, perfect for beginners or anyone who has done Pole or dance before. It’s a super safe space for Queer folks & SWers to train in! Shona is an amazing studio owner, who really cares about creating a safe, inclusive and fun environment to dance and learn in. It is a great place to make friends, build confidence and challenge yourself! It’s also super close to lough train station!We love you Provocafit!

Fantastic experience: Provocafit is my happy place! Provocafit has helped me in so many ways and I love the little community I am apart of. All the instructors are amazing and so so supportive.

Fantastic experience: Shona and her team are wonderful and foster such a welcoming and inclusive environment. So much fun, great for confidence and lovely to be part of the ProvocaFIT community. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Pole fundamentals is a great place to start as a complete beginer, Shona is a great instructor and all the girls are so encouraging. I would 100% recommend !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending pole/dance classes at ProvocaFIT for a little over a year now and I truly could not recommend more! Shona has not only created an amazing, welcoming, and inclusive studio, but also a safe and supportive community where people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels can come and express themselves freely. Shona is creative with her routines and song choices, and also with class and workshop offerings - ensuring that even regular students will never get bored or feel like they are running out of new things to learn. As a former dancer, I have loved trying out floorwork, commercial heels, and chair, plus pole tricks and choreography. If you’re looking for a fun new hobby, different types of movement, good workouts, and the best instructors/classmates cheering you on, check out ProvocaFIT!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a student at Provocafit for over a year now and I can’t quite believe I’ve not written a review yet on here. Shona has created the most liberating space where everyone feels included and welcomed. I couldn’t recommend a studio better than Provocafit based on just the environment alone. I originally started with a filthy floorwork class and instantly fell in love with how Shona teaches, and quickly became a regular on most classes. The diversity of song choices and styles is next to none, and there is definitely something for everyone. I’ve never had confidence with dance and learning from Shona has brought that confidence I never have gained before. I honestly couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to learn something new, exciting, and challenging that would help me explore my femininity in more detail. That's why I tried pole dancing at Provocafit. So far, I've had a total of seven sessions with Shona, both in one-to-one and group settings, and I absolutely love it. Shona is the perfect coach: a natural teacher who radiates kindness, has confidence in everyone, expects a lot (much more than I thought I could do and it worked!), explains every detail in many ways, and she is funny. During the mixed ability sessions, she ensures that everyone receives the same attention and support from her. I am very grateful to be able to join Provocafit as it ticks all the boxes and more. I cannot wait for my next session.

Fantastic experience: Provocafit is an incredibly welcoming, liberating and empowering space, and I am honoured to be able to call myself a student and part of the amazing family Shona has built here. I couldn't recommend this studio more, I started in around March this year and I have been introduced and encouraged into doing incredible things that I never thought I would be able to do. My confidence has grown by a tenfold and I can still remember my first class and how attentive Shona has always been in ensuring I, and all of her students, are comfortable and able to achieve incredible things even in just one session. The studio is always clean and inviting, with smiling faces all around you, encouraging and supporting you all along the way. Whether you are looking to start your pole journey, further your skills, enter into the world of dance or burlesque, or so much more, there truly is something for everyone at this studio, with a family at the heart of it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to provocafit pole & dance studio for a couple of months now and have never been to somewhere so welcoming, friendly and with such an unbridled sense of community and friendship. As many, I was quite nervous about going to my first pole class but Shona made me feel at ease instantly and was very encouraging. Although it was very challenging initially, I kept coming back and kept trying new classes and getting more and more involved! Now, having got to know the other students as well as the instructors, I can say that this truly is a place that encourages you to show up and celebrate YOU. Nothing makes me feel more empowered than when I’m sliding across the floor in a dance class, or when I finally master a heels pole combo. It’s truly a brilliant feeling and I wish everyone could experience it! Shona always reminds me not to stick too strictly to the counts of the music or to be too rigid and self-critical with a combo, because all of our bodies are different and we will all be more comfortable with different moves or tricks. Thinking of this when I’m messing up the heels choreo or my hands are too slippy and can’t grip the pole, reminds me that I don’t need to compare myself to the person next to me, all I need to do is enjoy myself and enjoy moving my body! Which is, I think, where the sheer joy and empowerment of pole comes from. You’re just dancing or training for yourself and the sense of achievement you get as you watch yourself grow and progress is unlike anything I’ve ever done before! Thank you, Provocafit, for being so wonderful!!

Fantastic experience: Made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. Brilliant instructor and couldn't ask for a better place.

Fantastic experience: This studio has become my happy place! Not only that I’ve seen more progress in my skills than I’ve had in any other studio, Shona’s tips and encouragement and the sense of community in the studio is taking my pole experience to another level!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love classes at provocaFIT!! Shona is an amazing, encouraging teacher and I would recommend to anyone just starting with pole. Love the variety of classes available too ❤️
