When you do your first few classes you won't necessarily need to be in shorts and a crop top. We would recommend for a beginners class to bring shorts, but any kind of t-shirt and leggings, sweatpants or tracksuit bottoms will be fine. We will be barefoot so please arrive in whatever you feel most comfortable.

After a few classes, we will start thinking about climbing the pole and going upside down. For this we need our skin to grip the pole. A good example of the kind of thing to wear would be shorts and vest top.

No upper body strength is required. Everyone will learn at their own pace and we will help you build your strength over time in order to do the moves which will require more strength

No flexibility is required, but if you are flexible it can compliment pole very well. At the end of each class, we stretch out which will help improve your flexibility, and as you become more advanced we will be able to help you progress by showing you stretches to do in your own time.

If you are under 18 we will need permission from a parent or guardian, either in person or via email. Not all our instructors are insured to teach students younger than 16 years old.

Of course, you can! Size is not a problem at all and pole is for people of all shapes and sizes. There are many "pole famous" plus-size polers out there who are paving the way for plus size pole community. Pole is for everyone!

We use our skin to grip the poles and moisturiser makes it slippery - the same applies to oils, fake tans and any other lotions. We recommend that you either wash your hands (the most important part of your body when starting to learn pole) before coming to class or simply don't use moisturiser at all that day. We also ask that all rings and jewellery be removed for class to stop the poles from being scratched.

We won't lie about this as we want you to know what to expect. You are likely to ache after your first class as it is very strenuous on the body, but the great feeling of achievement the next day shows you how hard you've worked. As you progress and start to climb the pole you may have some bruising to the skin which will get easier as your body gets used to the pressure of the pole.
