Intro to Pole

This is where it all begins! Start your pole journey here with our Intro to Pole Series.

Think of this as your foundational core curriculum. Students start at Intro to Pole and work their way through each level. Our Progressive Level Classes focus on the skills based (tricks & fitness) side of pole and provide a solid and well rounded foundation for all class types going forward, whether tricks or dance/movement-based. Successful completion of this series is required before moving on to most of our other classes, in order to give you a safe and proper introduction to pole. Afterward, you’ll have a variety of skills based, movement, dance, and specialty classes to choose from.

Students are more likely to succeed in pole when they learn sequentially and systematically with a regular training schedule. It gives the body an opportunity to build the endurance, strength and pain tolerance needed in a safe and structured environment. Therefore, this class meets 2x per week for 5 weeks. If you are unable to commit to a series at this time, you can always pop into one of our Pole Basics classes.

Commitment: Students must sign up for the entire series (10 classes)

Prerequisites: None! This series is for first timers or those with limited pole experience

What you will learn: Over the course of 5 weeks, you will learn how to spin, sway and swing around the pole. Some of the core moves include: Pole Walk, Dip, Back Hook Spin, Fan Kick, Fireman Spin, Pole Sit, Climbing, Martini, and more!

At the end, you will put all of the moves you have learned together in a combo that you will pair with different songs, to get a feel for what our choreography classes are like.

What to wear: Pole, swim or athletic wear that exposes your thighs (we need skin contact in order to stick to the pole), and a sports bra or sleeveless shirt (you can definitely bring layers to wear).

Tip: do not wear any oils or lotions the day of class & be sure to remove all jewelry prior to using the poles.
