Again amazing experience. Absolut gorgeous teachers and so perfect organized. It was worth it as always. Love the Indi Retreat s

EPIC, 🖤✨. Very well organized Loved every nanosecond. I feel blessed to be able to go on to this retreat I needed to save up for. It exceeded my expectations. Congratulations to the organizers!!! Lot of love. Ps : Next time I would love to be in the advanced group dough 🤔 even if it would kill me ✌️

I had a wonderful time at the retreat—great people, smooth organization, and well-planned accommodations, meals, and logistics. Everything outside the studio felt seamless and enjoyable. However, the pole curriculum could use improvement. The two groups seemed to be split in a way that didn’t align with the participants’ actual levels or styles. Many of us felt we would have benefited from being in the other group, and conversations throughout the retreat reflected that. It might work better in the future to ask participants ahead of time what they hope to get out of the experience, or assess styles/goals more intentionally to create more tailored groupings. Also, on day one we spent almost 70 minutes doing freestyle—which felt excessive. While I understand the intention, I came to learn from these instructors, not to replicate what I can already do at my home studio. A shorter freestyle (maybe 30 minutes), placed before choreo, could serve as a warm-up and creative reset without taking away from valuable instruction time. This is very expensive and I want to get more than I would at home. Overall, I loved the retreat and appreciate all the work that went into it—but a few adjustments to the curriculum would make the experience even more impactful. One other thing I noticed was during the social events: when members of the organizing team joined us, it sometimes felt like they weren't fully present or engaged—more like they were there out of obligation rather than a genuine desire to connect. I completely understand that not everyone is an extrovert, and social time can be draining, especially after long days. But as the hosts and leaders of the retreat, their energy does shape the overall vibe. If they choose to participate in those moments, it would mean a lot for them to show up with a sense of openness and connection. Otherwise, it might be better to simply take that time to recharge elsewhere. A little more intentional presence would go a long way in building a stronger, more inclusive community atmosphere.

I recently attended the Porto Retreat "Lush" with Tia Jax & Indi, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The retreat was incredibly well-organized — every day began with a thoughtful check-in message via Telegram that outlined the day’s schedule, which helped me feel grounded and prepared. I really appreciated how attentive the organizers were, consistently checking in with us to see how we were feeling and actively encouraging us to share our feedback throughout the week. The community that formed during this retreat was something special. I made meaningful connections not only with other students but also with the instructors and retreat organizers. There was a beautiful balance of structured learning, social bonding, and time for personal exploration. Tia is a truly dedicated and passionate instructor. Her love for both pole dance and her students shine through in every class. Indi brings an equally powerful presence — supportive, inspiring, and deeply connected to her teaching in a way that makes you feel seen and uplifted. Beyond the classes, the planned activities were a perfect mix of fun and culture. The tile painting workshop and the sunset boat cruise were definite highlights — unique, beautiful experiences that added to the magic of the retreat. I also loved that we weren’t overloaded with activities every single day; having free time to explore Porto or simply rest was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, I’d absolutely do this retreat again. It was the perfect blend of movement, connection, relaxation, and joy.

A wonderful retreat. Great hotel with outside swimmingpool and hot tub. Loved the classes from Tia and Indi. This one is perfect for all you slinky heel lovers. The only critique I have is the food for lunch. Otherwise everything was well organised and the hosts lovely.
