Frequently Asked Questions

What is pole dancing?

 Pole dancing is a form of exotic dance which incorporates the use of a highly polished metal pole allowing you to master and perform tricks, spins and poses. Pole dancing is heavily associated with gentleman’s clubs / lap dancing venues and other strip orientated work. Please note that not all pole dancers take off their clothes! Pole dancing is an art form which requires strength and ability and when performed is extremely graceful and enjoyable to watch. Pole dance takes elements from other well know dance forms such as ballet and even acrobatics and gymnastics. This is an ancient form of dance and self expression used for many years worldwide and can be enjoyed by all.

 Who is pole dancing for?

 Pole dancing is for anyone who is looking to boost confidence, self esteem, improve fitness levels, stamina, flexibility, muscle definition, health and well being.

All fitness levels and abilities are welcome, remember we were all beginners once! Our courses are designed to enable the more shy and introvert of us to come along and have a go and eventually let our selves go.

 What do I wear?

 Top Half – any vest or t-shirt you would usually use for training or any gym activity in would be ideal.

Bottom Half – We do recommend shorts as u will find that you use your thighs for gripping the pole and wearing jogging bottoms / trousers can restrict the moves you will be able to try and master on the pole although jogging bottoms are fine is that is what you prefer to start.

Shoes – bare feet, trainers, dance shoes and for those who feel comfortable and adventurous heels can also be worn.

 
NOTE – Please note, no body creams, fake tans, moisturisers, oils or any other body lotions to be applied at least 8 hours before using the pole as this will make you hands and body greasy and prone to slipping.
