Levels

Beginner Pole / Trial Class

This level covers the very basic pole tricks and spins as well as dance moves around the pole to teach you the core foundations of pole dancing. Open to absolute beginners and newcomers with no background, you don’t need to bring any strength or flexibility to get started! You can wear any comfortable clothing of your choice, but we highly recommend to wear short bottoms (you can wear leggings or sweats on top), at minimum exposing the back of the knees – as the bare skin will help you grip to the pole.

Intermediate Pole

You will expand your pole skills, learn more complex spin combinations and pole climbs in this low intermediate class. You will build a strong foundation with new combinations after a climb and starting to go upside down, gaining comfort in all of your inverted positions like crucifix, straddles, inside- and outside leg hooks. This is an important level for building strength and technique – a lot of conditioning exercises will be part of this class, and you might stick around for a while until you feel ready to move up!

High Intermediate Pole

Wearing of heels allows for a different quality of movement – flow and accents are combined into a dance around the pole and on the floor.
