What you’ll learn

  • Pole dancing does require a pole which is an apparatus. Many people are surprised to find that there are different types of poles! We will talk about the types of poles but you can head over to our Buy A Pole page for even more information!

  • We will go over some basic requirements for pole dancing like how to grip the pole, how to walk and what a warmup could look like. After that, you’re ready to check out our beginner level pole tutorials!

  • Not everyone wants to dance in heels but, for those who do, we will review how to put on basic stiletto heels. For more information about heels, you can check out our /heels-info page!

Course FAQ

  • Nope! Pole dancing is going to be a challenge whether you have a fitness background or not. It incorporates dance, gymnastics, climbing, dynamic movements, weight lifts & shifts, balance, agility and a plethora of other elements. We start from the very beginning so you can choose which directions you want to go and which elements you want to focus on.

  • You do not need access to a pole for our intro series but, if you want to learn pole dancing you will need access to a pole as you progress into the beginner course. You could use a home pole or a studio pole. Check out our Buy A Pole page for more information on different poles!

  • Pole dancing is like any other movement art, you choose which style or type of pole you want to experience. Although we start everyone out with the basics for safety, as you progress, you can choose to stick with dance pole, tricks pole, parkour pole, sexy pole or any of the other styles. There is no “type” of person for pole. You create the “type” of pole you want to see in the world!
