The White Studio - flexibility in motion

Fantastic experience: September 2025: When I first left the below review, I was new to TWS and I enjoyed my classes, but I had no idea just how important the studio would become to me. I love aerial arts, I feel so strong and elegant and the different classes are so much fun. I started off with no strength at all and I have come so far. The vibe is so good, everyone is so supportive of each other and no one is ever allowed to feel ‘lesser’ just because they struggle with something. But it’s more than just feeling fitter and getting better at aerial arts. At TWS, I found my tribe. Angie, the owner and lead instructor, has become a dear friend, someone whose coaching, counsel and support is invaluable. Having TWS in my life got me through a really dark time in my life last year. I don’t know what I would have done without it. So, give TWS and aerial arts a go. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. Original review, Feb 2022: I am absolutely in love with TWS! I joined last month after my old yoga studio shut as I wanted something a bit different to do in addition to regular workouts. Angie is so warm and will push you to do things you don't think you can do - but only because she believes in each of her students. All of the students that I've met so far are lovely and warm - as a plus-sized (and very uncoordinated) person, I've never felt judged or out of place or anything. I love it here!

Fantastic experience: This studio has got to be the most welcoming and special space for aerialists (or aspiring aerialists). There is a variety of classes for all tastes (ranging from beginner to advanced levels), and when you cant go to a class you definitely wish you had. Would recommend! Thank you TWS

Fantastic experience: A year ago I went to TWS to take a flexibility wheel lesson as I had been searching for months for one in Bedford. After my first class, I watched Angie teach a pole lesson. Taking up pole was something that had never occurred to me but I saw women of all ages, shapes and sizes achieving amazing things and saw how it empowered them. So I went to the next class and I have never looked back. Physically, it has changed my body and I’ve gained core strength and stability that I never achieved after years of yoga. I have gained confidence in myself and a new respect for how my body can still develop and adapt, as week by week I achieve things I didn’t believe I could. Better than even all of this, I have met a group of women who inspire me daily and offer support to everyone who attends classes. I am now training to instruct, inspired and motivated by Angie and I am so grateful for the fun and friendship this studio has afforded me. If you are thinking you would like to try pole, come along. Angie and the rest of the girls will make you feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, supportive and so much fun...if you're looking for an exercise class that passes by so quickly you are surprised when it ends, give The White Studio a try!

Fantastic experience: Angie is incredible at teaching, totally inspiring! I started as a total beginner, just wanting to try something new. The classes are incredibly welcoming and the whole vibe is totally supportive.

Fantastic experience: The White Studio is an absolutely amazing place. Angie has created a beautiful community where every little win is celebrated. This is the first time I have ever enjoyed exercise, in part because it's the only space I've been in that I never feel judged. It doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having, the second I step in the studio, it slips away because of how comfortable and supportive all of the classes are. Thank you for creating this community, Angie.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn a new skill, gain more strength, get more confident and all whilst meeting some of the most loveliest people... Angie has a way of making us all feel comfortable and included, and in all the classes guaranteed there will be lots of laughs... absolutely love going and have never regretted a class... you leave feeling on a high!!

Fantastic experience: Angie is the most amazing instructor I’ve ever had, she’s so kind and patient but she also always pushes you to do your best. Shoutout to all the other amazing girls that make the studio so welcoming and fun!!

Fantastic experience: White Studio is such an amazing community. Angie, the owner and instructor, has harboured such a lovely supportive environment and helps make everything so easy to understand and accessible. You will find something you love in no time!

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite places to be is the white studio! Such a lovely community of people as well as really fun exercise!!! No one is excluded and no matter your strength or size or experience you are welcomed by Angie and the community of women x

Fantastic experience: The White Studio is a magical sanctuary. Angie works hard to tailor each of her classes to the students that attend. She plans everything meticulously and pushes you to believe in yourself, as well as achieve things that you don't think are possible. I highly recommend her flexibility classes as well as aerial hoop for both well-being and challenging your body to see everything that you can achieve. Update after 2 years - I continue to go to The White Studio and Angie has managed to push me beyond anything I ever thought was possible. She helped me to be consistent in my training and each session is planned to be different - no two are ever completly the same. I have gone from being a low intermediate to a developing advanced aerial student, blooming in confidence. I have also gone from not being able to do the splits being at least 15cm up from the ground to almost touching the floor completly only 1cm to go and front thigh fully touching the floor - things that never in my life have I ever achieved (I was not a gymnast or dancer as a child and I'm 34 now without any flexy history!). So yes. I STILL highly recommend The White Studio and Angie.

Fantastic experience: What can I say about Angie and her wonderful studio! I’ve been attending pole classes since April time , I think? Who knows time flys when your having fun!! Angie is a fantastic instructor always driving us to do our best. Professional to the highest degree and brilliant at what she does. Angie never fails to individualise to your capabilities and supports everyone on a 1:1 basis! The environment and community you’ve created within is such a comfortable, welcoming, caring and safe space I can only thank you for doing what you do. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

Fantastic experience: My favourite thing about this studio and Angie (the instructor) is how personal, tailored and detailed all classes are. The attention of detail she gives to each student is just beyond, all classes feel like private as she will always put in the effort to go to each of us to help us get into poses, which is also handy since it gives you couple of minutes to catch a breath while you watch others as no classes are easy! but always rewarding.

Fantastic experience: I am absolutely loving the hoop classes with Angie at TWS. The classes are challenging and extremely rewarding, just what I was looking for. You do not know what you can do until you have done it! All in a fun, supportive and caring environment. You will feel stronger after each and every class. Highly recommended, come and join the fun!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Aerial Sling classes with Angie at TWS for a few weeks now. I can honestly say that the TWS community is one of the most inclusive and supportive I have ever experienced. The moment I walked in the room on my first day, everyone made me feel so welcome, and I immediately felt part of the family. Angie is an inspiration; a fantastic instructor, who will encourage you to try new things, will push you if she thinks you need it, and will laugh with you when things don’t go to plan! Attending class is the highlight of my week, as I know I will leave feeling energised. If you want to try pole/ hoop/ aerial sling, TWS is definitely the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I started Aerial Hoop classes at The White Studio 8 weeks ago now and I am totally in love with it! Angie has created such a supportive and inclusive community, from class one and with every new person I meet it's such a welcoming grop. Starting can feel daunting but Angie and the ladies are so encouraging with classes teaching you both the basics (and safety!) But also challenging you in the right ways too. She keeps classes fresh and is super considerate about adjustments for abilities and injuries so you can still participate fully in any class. I couldn't recommend it enough! thank you Angie and Co x

Fantastic experience: Not just a studio, not just a great teacher, but a lovely community also. Supportive and encouraging, Angie has a great instinct for what her students can do even when they aren't sure themselves. I've built up strength and also flexibility.

Fantastic experience: I love attending classes at The White Studio with Angie she’s fearless, strong and courageous instructor that makes everyone feel empowered in an all women environment. I have been attending Ariel hoop, Pole and Yoga Wheel classes since the beginning of the year and have seen such an improvement in my strength and flexibility in such a short period of time. Angie is very patient and pushes me to achieve my best - (whilst being safe cos who wants to be hit in the head with a hoop?)

Fantastic experience: I've been going to The White Studio for about 6 weeks with my daughter and have loved every pole and flexi class we have been to. I can feel my strength and capability improving- and most importantly can honestly say that I have never attended classes which feel so inclusive and where everyone is so supportive of one another, which is absolutely driven by Angie the instructor.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first class and loved every minute! Very welcoming and warm environment plus brilliant teacher - will definitely be coming back for more!

Fantastic experience: Been coming for just over a month now and love every minute of it! Atmosphere is friendly and supportive and it has really helped boost my confidence. Angie the teacher is amazing and really makes the class. It’s fun to the point you don’t realise your exercising! Would highly recommend The White Studio to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Angie at the white studio is amazing! I felt so welcome the minute I came into class and the way my confidence has grown has been fantastic. I was anxious about attending such a class but the community is warm and so friendly. Angie knows how to bring out the best in all her students and pushes you to test your boundaries.

Fantastic experience: The instructor is amazing and a great sense of community!! I've learnt so much in the few lessons I've been to

Fantastic experience: The best aerial studio I've been to so far. The teacher has good attention to details and pushes you to your limits, but not beyond, so at all times you feel both safe and challenged. The atmosphere in the studio is very welcoming and inclusive, I felt like a part of the community from day one! The teacher manages the group chat and organises social events.The place is outstandingly clean, equipment and floor is disenfected after every session, not just at the end of the day like in most studios, and it's only one person per set of equipment. The instructor measures everyone's temperature at the entrance and ensures everyone disenfects hands properly.

Fantastic experience: I joined the White Studio just over a month ago, and I couldn't be happier!! Angie the owner and instructor is incredible! She plans her lessons so well and gives such encouragement and enthusiasm to everything she does and she will not stop until you succeed! Even in these crazy times, pole is a lifeline and without it I don't know what I'd do, after having a year out I was very worried that I would have to build up a lot of strength but Angie has given me the confidence and her combos and way of teaching are fantastic and she really cares about individuals and how to cater for everyone be it a beginner or advanced. The studio itself is gorgeous, it's a real haven with beautiful lights, air con,music and the cleanest studio I've ever been to! I have also started yoga wheel classes which is a great class to add with pole and hoop training and I'm really enjoying them. The White Studio ladies/students and Angie are all lovely, warm and inviting and have welcomed me with open arms, so if your new to pole or want to join a studio that understands how to teach and care this is the one to go to, I couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Angie is a great teacher. She is patient and gives good advice. She knows her students very well and helps us reaching our limits. Despite I live in israel, I have been taking her online courses from several months. I love her classes !

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Aerial Hoop classes since January 2020 and Pole for 2 months and I absolutely love it! I immediately felt comfortable and safe to try a new skills that I never thought I could do.As well as learning a new physical skill, I am also learning so much about myself. Thank you for allowing me to grow physically and mentally. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous starting pole classes but I was met by two lovely ladies and they made me feel so comfortable! I was insecure about doing pole especially being a plus size girl but they are so positive and supportive, they do push you to your limits but it’s great fun! 100% recommend this company to anyone, beginners and advanced learners!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely instructors. Made me feel so welcome. Did the beginner Hoop and Pole classes for the last 6 weeks and have booked more. So glad I went to their classes. The atmosphere in the classes is so positive from also other students and the instructors push you to be your best.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, I have just started doing the beginners pole fitness and loved every minute of the class. It’s super friendly and no one is made to feel self conscious. It’s just a lovely empowering environment and a great full body workout as well.

Fantastic experience: Angie is a brilliant teacher, not only with knowledge about pole dancing but also with great motivational skills. TWS feels like family no matter what kind of personality you have got.

Fantastic experience: I started yoga wheel about two years ago and I have continued to progress with my flexibility. Angie is a great, supportive instructor who tailors her approach to your own level of ability. I love attending this class as Angie motivates and encourages me to work at my full capacity so I am constantly seeing improvements.

Fantastic experience: What a lovely pole studio! I have learned so much + the environment is extremely warm <3

Fantastic experience: This was the first place where I tried pole - and I fell in love with it. The head instructor Angie is the sweetest thing on earth, and she brings all of her to the classes, and you can definitely tell how much she loves doing this!! That also made pole classes feel much more than just a sport among others! I can't imagine better pole studio - The White Studio is so unique!!

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic range of classes to work on flexibility and pole combined. The support from the tutor and other members every class makes me feel so welcome. Love it.

Fantastic experience: More than just a pole studio! I have been taking classes in this studio for 1 year now and I love it. It's not just the amazing teacher and the great classes, but the very friendly atmosphere as well that makes you feel that you belong there. The teacher and the other dancers keep motivating the students and we help each other to improve. There are literally classes for everyone and anyone- regardless of age or experience. Angie is a super skilled and fantastic teacher, I'm more than happy to be one of her students!

Fantastic experience: I have now been poling here for 2 years! When I first started I had all the usual worries that I think many people get; I can’t lift my body weight, I don’t want to wear no clothes and I’m not very flexible! These things are all still thoughts of mine but I have been known to do the splits in my underwear whilst holding my body weight... The classes have been amazing, the workout you get from this is incredible! I’ve always been quite active but there is nothing that tones my body quite like this. They are female only classes and by the time you come to hanging upside down (it will happen) you’re so comfortable with everyone around you that you don’t mind showing a bit of cheeky thigh! I think for me the best part of these classes has been building body confidence and getting fit whilst having a great time. The classes are challenging and fun, Angie is always sure to cater to the classes abilities and is very safe with new moves and new students. The best thing I ever started doing, I can’t recommend it to everyone enough!

Fantastic experience: I started a beginners course last july,having no experience at all but just fancied having some me time. I must admit its the best thing i have ever done. You get toned in places you didnt know existed. Angie is a fab instructor.She has every class organised,drawings up on the wall and is very patient,actually extremely patient.She gives each person in the room her time so i cant fault it.

Fantastic experience: After thinking about giving pole a try for a long time and looking at different studios, I came across The White Studio and Angie and decided to give it a try. Angie is an amazing instructor, I felt safe and relaxed from the very first lesson, she is so friendly and we all have a laugh during each class, such a lovely atmosphere to learn in, small classes, great prices and lots of encouragement from Angie and the other ladies in the classes. I can highly recommend The White Studio and Angie.. so much so, that, my daughter will be joining me in class very soon. Thank you Angie for helping and giving me a huge confidence boost and a new amazing hobby.

Fantastic experience: I attended pole flexibility and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Angie made me feel at ease because of her personality and also the way that she had designed her studio. She is attentive and ensures everyone is comfortable with any movements and encourages people to do things at their own pace and in line with their bodies capabilities. I felt a buzz of endorphins afterwards and also felt good about myself. Angie is an inspiration.

Fantastic experience: I’m a frequent attender at TWS and it is a beautiful studio and Angie is a lovely lady who teaches fun and challenging classes. Angie has a real skill in being able to assess your capabilities and push you to your limits. I’ve learnt and achieved so much . More than I ever knew I’d be capable of! We have now become really good friends . I’m so happy I found this wonderful place!

Fantastic experience: I have been poling for several years but since starting with Angie earlier this year I have progressed faster and further than I have anywhere else! I personally tried out nearly all the Pole studios in Bedford to find the instructor that I felt I connected best with. I love Angie’s style, she pushes me hard and makes sure I try everything and the encouragement has paid off! I love the studio, 4 poles (brass and chrome - brass is my fav). I think the most memorable thing she has said to me is “my job is to make you the best you can be and no longer need me”. I would say the one thing she does do is sometimes over spots! I sometimes feel like I have lost 10kg but she’s just got all my weight! Sometimes she does need reminding I’m not going to fall I have got it! I personally love it at The White Studio and not planning on leaving any time soon!

Fantastic experience: After reading a poor (completely untrue, unnecessary, catty and false) review. I felt it necessary to show The White Studio and Angie the support and genuine care us polers have for her and the studio. The poor review reflects one persons distorted view on a personal dispute, with the intention to tarnish The White Studios 5 star reputation. I have previously poled elsewhere and left purely because I was losing motivation and wanted a fresh approach and more flexibility with the times I could attend. I was recommended Angie via word of mouth and following the studio on social media . She has a completely honest yet caring approach, she is far from a bully. Angie's approach is completely safety first. Her safety mats are the thickest I've ever seen (I myself have a thin and a fat safety mat at home, both stacked together still don't match the depth of the mats at the studio). Angie will not let me try a move without a mat, and will not remove the mat (or herself from next to me) until she is confident the move can be carried out confidently and correctly unaided. I personally cant fault the lessons, they are always pre planned and accommodate the level of student adequately. I enjoy my lessons and have found my confidence and motivation have grown since joining The White Studio. I pride myself on not only calling Angie my instructor, but a kind and loyal friend. Thank you for all your hard work, don't let anyone dull your shine.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a space where I could work on my flexibility and have some fun. What I found was a lovely bunch of women who make me feel very comfortable. Thank you for letting me be myself and bending over backwards to meet my needs.

Fantastic experience: What can say ,I love the white studio and Angie is patient and a fantastic teacher. Being a bigger lady my pole journey has not been an easy one ,but as I've found right teacher who both supports and encourages it's been a fun and amazing journey,I've been lucky finding Angie and am proud to be a part of such a lovely group of ladies who feel more like family than teacher and students , the classes are small and personal, time is given and aimed at all levels so you never feel left out . I have never felt out of place or big at this studio and have always felt accepted for who I am, something bigger ladies will understand when put alongside stunning young things lol

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The White Studio now for over 6 months and couldn't be happier. I discovered the studio via word of mouth. I decided to give the classes a go as I had just moved to Bedford and wanted to get to know people locally, and I was especially interested in the flexibility classes (I was already going to another pole studio in Northampton at the time, but they didn't offer flexibility training). I found Angie and the other girls really lovely and welcoming, and after taking pay as you go classes for a while decided to change studios completely, partly for convenience but also because I really enjoy the classes. I love the variety - tricks, floor work, static and spinning pole - and feel I have really progressed. Angie really takes the time to explain the moves and could not be more safety conscious. I would recommend The White Studio to anyone, whether a beginner or more advanced poler. You will find a friendly bunch of all ages, levels and body types, and have lots of fun!

Fantastic experience: My pole and flexi journey started just over a year ago now. I have always been aware of people being judgmental of me when exercising, I guess I didn’t have enough confidence in me, my appearance or what my body could eventually be capable of doing under the right caring instructor. Traditional gyms are not for me, as I need a little extra attention and guidance so I eventually decided to give The White Studio a go. I wanted a sport that would challenge me physically and would occupy me mentally. Pole and flexi did just this! Little by little I’ve seen this place flourish with new superwomen, each one with their own set of amazing skills - which Angie is always good at identifying and use in the best possible way to gain more from each class, always in safety and without pushing anybody into doing something they weren’t comfortable with. Each class is well planned and adapted to the level and need of each individual student. Angie puts people first, so instead of having oversized classes she keeps numbers down, so that we all get lots of time spinning to our heart’s content ;). Along with another student I’ve also been lucky enough to have been offered the opportunity to train as an instructor and I really appreciate the trust, time and dedication that Angie is offering us all the time. Some of us have been coming for a year now, making new friends is always amazing! So, if you want to be part of a small but caring community-like a little second family infact, if you want to train on a different sport without fearing other people’s judgement and in the safe knowledge that the instructor is fully qualified and fully insured to help you achieve your goals, the The White Studio is definitely the place for you!

Fantastic experience: I decided that I wanted to start learning how to pole, so I searched around Bedford for the best places. I started out in one place, but I didn’t feel very comfortable, and wasn’t learning anything and so I became quite disheartened, and so I stopped going. Then I came across ‘The White Studio’ on my Instagram and I remember looking at the videos and photo’s and wishing I could do spins like the other girls I was seeing. So I messaged Angie, (the most beautiful Instructor) and booked my first lesson with her. In that first lesson, I learnt so much more than I had been doing before, and I could actually get on the pole (ha ha) and take my first, elegant spin. I was so proud of myself, and Angie really motivated me and gave me a massive confidence boost. Her teaching skills, are really incredible. I am always smiling in her lessons, and when I finish, I feel like the confident me again. If you are looking to start learning how to Pole, please just the White Studio, as it really is the Best one! Big up Angie and White Studio! Jessica Anna xxx

Fantastic experience: I first came to TWS nearly a year ago now, after having looked for a pole class for some time. As someone who suffers with anxiety, I have always been scared to start due to concerns about safety or being pushed into things I wasn’t comfortable with. I needn’t have worried, from the moment I attended my first class, I felt at ease due to the lovely environment created by Angie and the girls. Angie understands my anxiety and even though she knows that sometimes while I may have the strength to do a particular move, I am simply too scared and she will never force me into it, or let go of me. It is such a supportive place to be and I have achieved things I never though my body would be able to do. The small classes mean you get extra attention and everyone is always so pleased for one another’s achievements. It is so great to see other people’s pole journey. Would definitely recommend if you want to make friends, gain body confidence and achieve more than you thought was possible!
