POLE DANCING
And now for the sexy side of pole...
POLE DANCE
Pole dance is about wowing yourself and your audience with complex base work, low flow, deceptive strength work and crazy transitions. And with heels on, it doesn't get much hotter.

Using influences from the origins of pole, our teachers sensory dance classes will teach all levels some bad ass routines and how to embrace your sexuality.
​
Classes are suitable for all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels.
FLOORWORK
Are you tantalised by the idea of an original pole dancing class but don't know where to start? Our Beginners Floorwork class is a great first step.
Learn the very basics of floorwork, from confidence to cobra kicks, leg waves to hair flips.​
Classes focus on the dancer’s relationship with the floor, breath, music and transitions, sensual movement, floor work, and sexy low flow. Learn sensually routines on the floor.
​
No prior dance skills or flexibility is required when you come for your first class so if you are worried about not having a dance background, don’t be! Most of our students have no prior dance experience.
​
Classes are suitable for all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels.
