Please don’t wear any lotion or moisturisers to pole class – It gets slippery!
This is really a personal choice and comes down to the wishes of each individual
Pole – warmups and your first class barefoot is best. After that heels are great! The best shoes for pole dance allow you to pivot freely on the ball of the foot, and have plastic, leather or pvc on top which allows for more grip. We recommend that beginners wear something which covers the top of the foot to help to give you that bit of extra grip while still building up the upper body strength
Exotic and Floor Dance – heels are recommended
Burlesque – students are encouraged to bring a small pair of heels
No! Our classes are designed to suit all levels of fitness with something for everyone. Most people have very little strength or fitness when they first come to us. We adjust the movements to suit our students’ needs and work everyone at their own pace. It’s about allowing us to help you find the perfect level and style of training for you. Remember that every amazing dancer you see was once a beginner!
No! Our classes cater to students of all ages and are adapted to suit the students needs.

No you don’t. Everyone is welcome, just book on the website. A staff member is always present but Practice Sessions are not Instructor lead classes. Students are asked to warm up and cool down thoroughly, practice things which they have been learning in their classes and maintain a high degree of safety.
This does not necessarily mean that you cannot dance/train. It does mean that you must tell your Instructor so that we can modify the movements to suit you
We also highly recommend that you get advice from a health professional
Our office hours are Monday to Friday 8am – 4pm.
Our Studio Head Quarters are open whenever we have training sessions, classes or events running, or by appointment.
Please note: Our Studio HQ is not always open during normal business hours
We recommend that you come and give it a go! We find that even the most cautious get into the swing after some instruction, and we can show you step by step what to do
You can also see a lot of what we do on our Instagram
And drop into the studio and have a chat with one of our staff during the Practice Sessions.
If you really want to watch a bit of what you’re in for before trying a class then we allow women only to watch for 10 minutes max. Sorry boys, if you want to watch there are clubs in town for that!
