What should I bring to class?
Please bring water to stay hydrated, your pole wear, and pole chalk/grip if you wish. Cleaning cloths and spray are provided in class. You may wish to bring a small towel especially on hot summer days to stay sweat free.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes! We offer a student discount and NHS discount. You must bring a valid form of ID (student card/NHS card) to your first class so we can verify this. We also offer a SW discount, please contact us for more information about this.
Do I need to be flexible and strong to come to your classes?
Not at all! Our Absolute Beginners class is for people with no prior pole experience. Your strength and flexibility will improve over time. You also do not require any athletic or dance experience to take a class.
What if I do not want to expose my arms or legs?
We appreciate there are many reasons as to why you may choose to cover your skin during classes. Skin exposure on the arms and legs is required in order to grip the pole in the majority of moves. You may wear loose trousers, as long as they can be rolled up past the upper thigh for certain moves. If this is the case, we recommend investing in some grippy pole wear, which are sold on most online pole wear stores.
