Adult Pole Dancing and Fitness

About our Adult Pole Dancing Classes
Have you ever wanted to give it a go but were a little shy? Pole dancing is one of the most exciting and addictive classes around! It is a great workout which helps tone your arms, thighs, buttocks and stomach.
Pole dancing gives you great core strength and is a fantastic way to exercise. It is suitable for teenagers and adults. You do not need any fitness or dance history to start a pole class as everyone will start off as a beginner. Ladies of all ages, body shapes and fitness levels are welcome.
Our studio is fully equipped with mood lighting which is great for those of you a little less confident. Classes will be great fun and just remember, every one starts as a beginner!
What to Wear
You will need sneakers and gym attire. As pole dancing relies on grip, bare arms and legs are best. Shorts/hot pants or sports briefs and a singlet top would be perfect. If you wear leggings or tracksuit pants you will have less grip and therefore your arms will be working twice as hard. However, we want you to be comfortable, so please wear something you are comfortable in!
Bring a pair of sneakers to warm up in. High heels/Boots will be recommended for certain classes.
You should bring a bottle of water as you will be working up a thirst.
All rings, watches, bangles and dangly earrings must be removed to avoid damage to the poles and to yourselves.
Nervous: Don’t be!
All ages, body shapes and levels of fitness are welcome. Classes are held in a private, fun and unpretentious environment.

History of Pole Dancing
It is probable pole dancing started in America in the 1920’s depression with dancers in travelling circus shows using a tent pole as a prop. Cirque du Solei have used Chinese pole acts. As with Mallakhamb and Pole dance, Chinese pole also uses the friction between the skin and equipment.
More recently, pole dancing has again evolved from something performed in a strip-related environment to an art form in itself, performed in various environments from more mainstream theatre to cabaret to corporate conventions. Competitions are now run on both national and international levels, showcasing pole dancing on its own without nudity.
Pole dancing is a combination of dancing and gymnastics. Advanced pole dancing requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance. Pole dancing is now regarded as a recognised form of exercise and can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. As dancers become more advanced they perform more athletic moves such as climbs, spins and body inversions. Upper body and core strength will develop as dancers progress through classes.
