back stage at Broken Doll

Step inside of Tucson’s most thoughtfully curated playground for movement, performance, and self-expression.

With a vibrant, art-pop aesthetic and a splash of color in every corner, the Main Stage sets the tone for bold self-expression and play. The room features nine 45 mm Lupit Poles in a mix of brass, chrome, and stainless steel - perfect for accommodating different preferences (and those with metal allergies). You’ll find 44 feet of movable mirrors split across two walls to help you check your lines and perfect your flow. Mirrors stay in place during class but can be repositioned during open pole with staff assistance. Tucked just off to the side, you’ll also find our Stage Pole. Our Stage Pole is available to book with Open Pole Playground credits - this offering is perfect for performers who want to rehearse in a stage-style setup before their next show.

The Main Stage

This richly styled space channels old Hollywood glamour and a backstage burlesque-show atmosphere, wrapped in sultry lighting and vintage charm. A tufted fainting couch begs to be lounged on, while mirrors invite you to indulge in your own reflection from multiple angles.

The Atrium is our quiet, private space for dancers to enjoy some solo exploration without the typical distractions of an open pole setting. You’ll find a 45mm chrome Lupit pole, romantic decor reminiscent of a lush garden, and ample lighting options to create the perfect atmosphere!

Available to book with Open Pole Playground credits during scheduled classes, The Atrium offers a lush, airy atmosphere inspired by its namesake. Think greenery, natural textures, and a romantic vibe - your own private garden of movement.

Tucked away at the very back of the studio, The Annex is our flex space for movement, community, and mutual care. Devoid of poles, The Annex is a great space to practice movement that requires a little bit of additional elbow room.

Need more visibility? The Annex also houses additional mirrors-on-wheels, ready to be rolled into The Atrium, The Boudoir, or anywhere else that needs a little extra reflection.
