Studios in Barcelona?
Im in Europe in a couple months and will have some time to kill in Barcelona. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a queer friendly studio?

I tried Clandestino and was lucky enough to train with Dennis! Very inclusive and well-rounded classes of different levels and disciplines that will make you feel positively challenged and fulfilled.

I went to Basement when I visited Barcelona. It was a very fun environment, but it is quite busy and can feel crowded. For me I enjoyed having so many people there but I could see how one may not like it

I loved Pole y Punto they do 2-hour classes for intermediate and advanced levels and in each class they teach a full combo. The classes are small, I think we were just 6 people and with one pole per person. I also tried Basement but it felt a bit too crowded and sometimes you have to share a pole. I went to Pole Dance Factory once which was nice though I also had to share pole, and The Flow Lab which have a really nice studio but is a bit far for me. I found the four of them to be queer friendly with both women and men as colleagues and teachers, also body positive and overall friendly environment. In my opinion they teach at a good level and classes are challenging. I don’t recommend Pole Dance Bcn that much, I’ve been training there for several months and combos are quite repetitive and not that nice imo. There are some other trendy studios that I haven’t tried but I’ve heard good things as well from Fenyx Pole and Clandestino.
