Yes! Beginner friendly classes are clearly marked as beginners so you know what level class is suitable for you. These classes are perfect for anyone that has not tried pole fitness before or is still wanting to master the basics. Class sizes are kept small to allow each student to get enough time and attention with the instructor to build your confidence and knowledge of each move.

You can wear anything you feel comfortable in. I would suggest a top you can move around in, such as a tee shirt or vest and a pair of shorts to allow your legs to grip to the pole.

Absolutely not! All equipment we use is industrially tested and checked regularly. We use industry standard X-Poles, which are the preferred equipment used by professionals across the world.

Yes, absolutely. We welcome everybody to our classes, we all share the same goal. To get fit, build strength and have fun while doing it.

Make sure to bring water with you to stay hydrated throughout class. We will provide cloths and anti-bacterial spray for the poles but you might want to bring a small towel for your hands. Make sure to bring shorts.

No! The aim of these classes are to learn new tricks and transitions on the pole which will help you build strength and stamina. For some more advanced moves flexibility will help, but we work with your body in achieving moves that work with you and your level. We will do some gentle dynamic stretching to warm up and a static stretch to cool down at the end of class which will help you gain flexibility as well. If flexibility is a goal of yours, then we do have a dedicated flexibility class you can book onto, check our timetable for times.

Yes! The beginner friendly classes are clearly marked so you can book on to the correct level for you.

Class sizes are kept small to allow each student to get enough time and attention with the instructor to build your confidence and knowledge of each move.

You can wear anything you feel comfortable in. With aerial hoop you want to have your skin covered as much as possible. I would suggest a long sleeve top you can move around in and a pair of leggings.

Our beams are LOLer tested annually and can hold limits above 1 ton (1000kg), all equipment is regularly checked and replaced when necessary.

Softcore heels! This class will be perfect for you, it is aimed at beginners to teach them the fundamentals of pole dance and help them build up strength and stamina in their dancing...all while having fun learning a sexy badass routine! Hardcore heels is aimed at experienced dancers.

Softcore heels is aimed at beg/int students, allowing them to master the basics moves like pirouettes and body waves while learning fun and sexy routines. This class will work on heel technique to achieve those beautiful lines while dancing and build up some sexy confidence. Hardcore heels is aimed at experienced pole dancers, this choreo will be faster paced, involve trickier transitions and include some basework and floorwork tricks. We recommend trying our 'Heels Tricks Class' to gain confidence with these basework tricks before booking onto hardcore heels.

We recommend wearing heels as we will teach a lot of techniques for heel work in these classes, but in Softcore heels you would be fine wearing socks the first few classes to get to terms with how to move. We recommend wearing Stripper Heels from brands like Pleaser or Hella Heels as these are designed for pole dancing in mind.

We recommend heels or socks to dance in but knee pads are essential to protect your knees on the floor. Shorts are not necessarily required, but it is always handy to bring a pair in case the choreo requires leg grip. Bring lots of water to keep yourself hydrated, dancing is cardio and we will be working up a sweat. A small towel can also come in handy for wiping your hands, we will provide antibacterial spray and cloths for the pole.

This class is a mixed ability class, but we recommend that you book softcore heels first before this class so you can get used to dancing with a pole. You can also book a private lesson with one of our instructors and learn a routine at your own pace.

Wear whatever you are comfortable and feel good in. We would recommend bringing shorts and leggings with you just in case you need grip or to cover up to slide. Knee pads are recommended and heels are optional.

No! That is why we have this class, to give everyone an opportunity to work on their flexibility and gain the confidence to stretch on their own to help reach their flexibility goals.
