No oils or lotions on the skin prior to Pole Dance class. This will make you slip off the pole!
Think about your jewellery. Rings, watches, bracelets and earrings could get damaged or even damage you when you are on the pole!  Please be prepared and leave your valuables at home.

Priority is comfort.  Beginners classes wear something comfortable, like yoga pants or leggings, something that covers your knees, and a regular exercise top or t-shirt. Level 2 and up bare legs are necessary and shorts are required on the second class.

For health and safety reasons, high heels are not permitted until the last class of a session, or as designated for Exotic or Stiletto classes.  Only clean indoor shoes...or barefeet are allowed.

None! :) We teach class in bare feet, however we suggest bringing a pair of socks or foot undies, as they ease pivots and protect the ball of the foot from overuse.

We do not allow pregnant women, at any stage, to enter/begin participation in pole or aerial classes.  If you become pregnant during your session or membership, continued participation in pole or aerial activities may be granted with a doctor's note for modified activities, otherwise, we will provide your with a Gift Certificate for your remaining classes or months left in the pass or term.

You can start in either 4 Week Intro to Pole, 6 Week Level 1 or 4 Week Pole Foundations class, all are beginner classes, differing in length of course and choreography or non choroegraphy based.

Each is a different group of movements and routine. Visit our Details Page for full description of classes and sessions. description of classes and sessions.

Intro is a 4 week choreography and is designed to introduce you to the pole in a safe, controlled manor, in order to gain your confidence to move on to higher levels. Intro focuses more on momentum creation and creating a comfort level to learn to fly!

Level 1 is a 6 week choreography and longer by 2 weeks. You learn significantly more movements as an Intro, still of beginner level..but longer in length, focusing on postural alignments and safe fun flight!  Pole Foundations is a 4 Week, movement based class with no choreography.  All 3 sessions are designed for beginners.

All of our classes are available to those age 16+.  Parental Consent forms are required prior to participation.  There is no maximum age limit, as we currently have many Grande Dames of Pole enrolled in our programs.  Those aged 65 and up are required to provide physician consent to participate, in order to enrol.

Absolutely! It is very helpful for students to learn in a class setting - watching other students can be incredibly helpful in improving your own technique. All classes are co-ed unless otherwise stated and we do not allow spectators in the studio during class time.. Remember, pole dancing for fitness is a great workout and is nothing to be embarrassed about!

Students of every body type and fitness level are welcome to join our classes. The point of a fitness class is to GET in shape, not BE in shape. You dont go to the gym because you are already in shape...do you?

Single classes are a one time class designed to introduce or enhance your expeerience in our studio. If you want to specifically learn spins and tricks on the pole and advance through our programs, you should register for a Level class and increase your endurance in a fun and exciting way!

Unfortunately no, as not one of those backgrounds include pole.  The pole is a piece of fitness equipment, and therefore should be treated no different than any other designation.  A person from any other type of fitness will not be able to do gymnastics or dance better than the average person unless they have experience in the program.  The understanding of body positions and alignment require movements to be introduced in a general order, to ensure the body can physically progress without injury.  Levels may be condensed if a student shows signs of rapid progression.
