“I have a lot of students that come here because they want to get in touch with their sexy side,” says Jennifer “Jem” Nicoll, owner of the Montreal dance school and entertainment agency DG Entertainment. Enter the doors of her studio and find yourself transported into a Moulin Rouge atmosphere where you can learn to spin and flip on a pole like an exotic dancer or unleash the burlesque performer in you.
While you will get fit in the process — holding yourself up on a pole requires some serious strength and strutting your stuff burns more calories than you think — what separates DG Entertainment from other schools that offer pole fitness classes is the fact that the main focus is always the sexiness factor rather than just the workout. Jem doesn’t shy away from referring to the classes as pole dancing rather than pole fitness. Besides burlesque and pole dance, the studio also offers belly dance classes.
During a class, whether you are playing with a feather boa, running your hands on your body suggestively or throwing in a hair-flip or two, a sexy attitude is encouraged. Feeling shy? “I feel that at first women are a bit intimidated to take a class but once they are here they love it”, says Jem, who keeps the groups small to cultivate a cozy and non-threatening setting. Women (and rarely, a man or two) of all ages, backgrounds and body shapes quickly feel comfortable enough together to forget about their inhibitions.
Very comfortable environment to learn, exceptional teaching and coaching staff. They are easy to reach, and have exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend DG entertainment if you want to get your sexy on!!!
Having a great time learning how to mo e my body & feel empowered as a woman. Fun, sexy fitness oriented - self-confidence booster too! Don't be shy, try it today. In my second session of Burlesque dance and am thorough ally addicted. Instructor is fun, knowledgable & talented.
Joined her school randomly and met some really awesome ladies!! Her classes were super fun, she re-explained stuff for slow learners like myself and was very motivating...i suggest doing the bi-annual shows as well (themes are always AMaZING) :)
Love it! Jem is both knowledgeable and emphatic. There is energy in the air and the environment is pefect to release your body, your mind and your soul to dance, dance and dance ... and just have a wonderful time! For the competition: spend time showing what you have that is good and not talking bad about others ... and let people decide and make their one choices! There are all kinds of tastes and they are all just wonderful! Thank you "diversity"! Thank you Jem! Thank you DG! Thank you competition to allow me to choose what I prefer! Let's dance!
I was nervous and hesitant about taking poledance classes but the fun vibe at DG studio got me hooked!! I tried other schools and had a bad experience but found this one had smaller classes and experienced teachers to make learning fun and easy for me. I would recommend this school with all my heart. Jem is a great dance teacher!
I have been training with DG Entertainment for about a year now and I only have one word... AMAZING! The teachers are great, I learned a great deal doing pole dancing, and there are a big range of other classes if pole dancing is not for you! I would recommend it to anyone who ask me!
I had never done burlesque or anything like it before I started taking classes here almost a year ago. I honestly was not expecting to love it so much! Jem works with each class to come up with a unique routine which reflects the group vibe and makes everyone feel comfortable. At the end of each session there is a show where all the classes perform, so you actually get some stage experience. The studio is cute and I find it to be a very (body) positive environment.
I started burlesque here in the fall and I love it! Cute studio, clean and cozy, great vibe. So much room to be creative and empowered and learn so much and have fun! Great community of like-minded people who want to put on amazing shows and dance. Jem is an awesome choreographer and puts so much effort into each student's progress!
Awesome Boudoir Pinup Photos! This Christmas I thought I would surprise my hubby with something sexy and fun, and I could not have been in better hands than with Jem at DG Entertainment. I opted for the holiday pinup photo shoot, as well as a video montage. Jem was a true professional guiding me through the photoshoot; I felt totally comfortable and my pictures and video turned out to be everything I wanted: classy, elegant and entirely sexy! An experience you won't regret!!
It was my birthday and I wanted to try something different to celebrate. We went for belly-dance classes. It was fun and a new experience. I really liked the teacher.
I took belly dance classes for a long time with the owner, and it was a really great experience. She helped me gain so much confidence both on and off stage, and gave great feedback and advice. She was always really positive and encouraging, and knows how to bring people out of their shell.
The worst experience ever and a total waste of money. In the end we received unprofessional pictures that were edited so badly, limbs were missing. The studio was filthy. The food offered was disgusting and Th e champagne that was offered in the package was replaced with a 8$ bottle of skinny girl cocktail. Don't go here.
We have been in business for over 10 years with over 6,000 parties and girls nite with everyone enjoying themselves. For 35$ per person, you had alcohol drink, food,( hummus and vegetables) video montage of photos and All the high quality pics.(over 200 pics)
I suggest that you post the end result, video montage of the final product that we produced of your event so people can judge themselves.

I really wish tha...
I really wish that I had known this place earlier and had started to dance right here long ago! The teacher, Jem, is very professional, experienced, patient and kind. The class is always full of fun and the location is convenient. I do enjoy this studio very much and would recommend it to my friends!
