FAQ’s

Are you beginning our pole or aerial classes soon? As much as you are bursting with excitement, you most likely have a few questions too! We answer all of your questions below.

What do I wear?

Pole Dance Classes:

It’s important to wear clothing that is comfortable and allows you to move. Shorts or leggings are appropriate for the first few classes but as you progress further you’ll need to use your legs to grip and this is when shorts are better. A sports bra/top is perfect to wear with either a singlet or t-shirt.

You can pole barefoot or in heels. Heels are not compulsory however feel free to bring along your most sparkly pair! We recommend heels with an ankle strap (so they don’t fly off) and avoid fabrics such as velvet as they will make you slip. Please do not wear heels with large buckles or detailing on top of the shoe as they will scratch the poles (& get ruined in return).

Aerial hoop or silks classes:

Please wear full length leggings made from cotton or polyester. Do not wear skins or 2XU. We stock suitable leggings at the studio if you would like to buy some when you come in. Wear a sports bra/crop & a fitted singlet or t-shirt. This will help avoiding burns caused by friction with the fabric or hoop.

What do I bring?

  • Water bottle
  • Small gym towel
  • High heels and/or runners
  • Hand grips to avoid sweaty palms (available to purchase from the studio)
  • Lot of energy!! (If you need a boost, we also sell Protein Balls at the studio!)

Before your class:

Please remove all jewellery before each class (rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces) and leave it at home. The poles/silks/hoops will damage your jewellery and your jewellery will damage our equipment. We are not responsible for any lost jewellery at the studio. Do not wear any moisteriser or body lotion on your hands or body (especially legs). Sweating will release the lotion to the surface of your skin & make you slippery!

What is the difference between Spin and Static?

Spin pole is where the pole spins around and you hold shapes while you spin around, static classes are where the pole is stationary and you create your spin and movement around the pole. Both are great to build strength, coordination and self confidence and with our level system picking either will give you the start and skills to see your fitness journey progress

Can a friend watch my class?

For the comfort of all students we don’t allow anyone to watch our pole or aerial classes (BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR THEM TO JOIN!) However you are welcome to bring people to see our end of term showcase which is an optional performance at the end of Term 3 and 6 so family and friends can see your awesome new skills!!

What if I don’t want to wear shorts to pole classes?

Shorts aren’t necessary in the first couple of weeks of the beginner course, but in the following weeks you’ll start to grip the pole with your legs when you climb etc. and leggings or long pants will make this difficult. We sell pole appropriate shorts at the studio (some are in high-waisted styles too!)

Do I need a dance or fitness background?

No you don’t! You will learn everything you need to know at our classes. Our beginner courses are designed so that anyone can start!

I have no upper body strength, will that be a problem?

It is not a problem. Our job is to get you stronger quickly. We will teach you everything you need to know on how to become stronger in your upper body, core and all over body fitness.

When is payment due?

For our term classes your full term fee must be paid by your first lesson via cash or card, we do offer membership payment plans! This is a direct debit no interest payment plan that will take payments out over 4 fortnights or 8 weekly classes. Contact your local studio.
