Pole Dancing

Pole Dancing is an amazing way to exercise as well as being an art form, it draws strengths from Calisthenics training & Dance, It’s physically challenging, fun & massively helps build confidence!
Each class will involve an aerobic warm-up followed by stretching and strengthening exercises, then you’ll be learning grips, climbs, inverts, spins and tricks delivered through various sequences.
We have various optional performance opportunities throughout the year to showcase your progress & achievements.

All classes are inclusive, welcoming & friendly, with an emphasis made on supporting each other, building a community and having FUN.
Suitable for ANYONE & EVERYONE over 18yrs. You do not need any previous experience to join our beginner classes. If you do have prior training then you can join our Intermediate/Advanced classes.

What to wear/bring
You should wear short shorts/hotpants and a vest/sports bra, so you’re able to grip correctly. You’re welcome to bring Heels to class when we’re working on Choreo, but it’s definitely not a requirement & they won’t be suitable every class.

After class social
We always go for a drink or food after class. Everyone is welcome & encouraged to join!
We understand socialising can be scary, especially with new people, but it’s a big part of what we’re about, and we will do everything we can to make you feel welcome & included. We also find that people who socialise with their class, not only enjoy the classes more but also improve faster.
