The ‘Pole Basics’ course

This 4-week course is designed for complete beginners, those who want to try poledancing without committing for a whole quarter. In just 4 classes, you’ll learn the foundations of pole dancing before integrating our regular Pole Beginners 1 classes.

In this series of 4 classes, you will get you acquainted with the pole as a completely new apparatus. You will evolve with a group of complete beginners and after a 15-min warmup, you will learn your first beginners pole tricks and spins on and around the pole. Over the course of 4 weeks, you will start to understand how to use your body for pole and you will practice a number of basic tricks to be ready to jump in our regular Beginners 1 class.

By signing up for this course, you understand that you are supposed to attend 4 classes, over 4 weeks in a row. If you miss one of those classes, there will be no (partial) refunds, and no possibility to claim a credit or swap for another class, unless you can provide a doctor's note.

We typically run the Pole Basics course 3 times per year: March, June, and September.

After about 12 classes in the Beginners 1 level, depending on how well you progress, you should be ready to move on to the next level of classes, the Beginners 2 level. If our instructors think you are not ready yet, you will be placed in the Beginners 1+ level to keep working on improving the basics and developing your strength.

All our Pole Dance classes are 75 minutes long. We start with a cardio warm-up before moving on to tricks and combos. Teachers will usually try to incorporate both static and spinning combos during a class. At the end of the class, we always stretch for a little while.
