The Chrome Academy is a pole dance and aerial arts studio at 19 Kenepuru Drive in Kenepuru, Porirua. It teaches adult classes in pole dance and aerial hoop, and the website says beginners need no prior dance experience or particular level of fitness. Classes focus on strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, and the studio says students often enjoy themselves enough to forget they are working out.
Free weekly open practice sessions run in the pole studio on Sundays from 1:30pm to 2:30pm, and in the aerial studio on Saturdays from 10:30am to 11:30am. To book one, people create a MindBody account and email the studio. Late cancellations within 8 hours incur a $10 fee, as at 2026. Memberships run month to month, and the studio says it can be paid by cash, debit card or direct debit. The website also says the studio offers complimentary open practice and discounted memberships for sex workers.
