POLE DANCE COURSES

All Pole Dance courses are 8-weeks long. Classes are once a week for 8-weeks for one hour – and include warm up, pole work, spins, aerial, footwork, and warm-down. All content progresses week-by-week, course-by-course, as your strength and confidence increases.

Pole dancing is amazing for your fitness, strength and toning. Many women these days have swapped gym sessions for pole classes. A fun & friendly environment – come alone – or come with friends.

We use 50ml and 45ml static & spin poles with a range of different skin grips to choose from. Using a standard width pole in the beginning is advisable, as it will build your wrist & forearm strength and control right from the beginning.

Bottoms Up! Pole content is Burlesque inspired which makes
our courses unique.

BEGINNERS POLE
For the absolute beginner! Designed for all women from all walks of life. This course introduces you to your new love affair with the pole! Combining basic pole moves, sassy spins, poses & burlesque dance moves, all of which are put together each week into a mini routine. By the end of 8-weeks you’ll be Bottoms Up! on the pole and will have all the content required for one wickedly hot routine that will impress anybody!

INTERMEDIATE 1
Going Up! Now that you are becoming stronger, and have an understanding of pole, Intermediate 1 introduces you to the next level of strength-orientated tricks up the pole, sideways spins, inverts & climbing combinations. Throughout the course your strength & confidence will increase preparing you for the flash tricks to come!

Intermediate 1 level assumes a basic understanding of pole. Students do need to have completed a Bottoms Up! Beginners Pole course, (or its equivalent), in order to enroll in this course. Confidence in climbing and inverting is required.

INTERMEDIATE 2
The aerial beginning! Now the fun begins! Intermediate 2 follows with all the flash moves! Trickier lifts, leg hangs, eye-catching spins, inverts & combinations of all moves blended with new dance techniques. Includes the beginnings of ‘work in progress’ moves required for higher levels.

Students need to have successfully completed Intermediate 1 to enroll in this course. Confidence with being at the top of the pole, inversions and spins is required.

POLE INTERMEDIATE 3
Hitting the big time! Intermediate 3 consists of more complex combinations of all aerial moves, spins & tricks. Its now time for some real attention grabbing pole work! You have now hit a higher level of pole dancing and will require strength & stamina.

Students will need to have successfully completed all pole course levels prior to enrolling. It is also advisable to speak with your instructor before booking.

BOYS ON POLES
Strictly for the male pole dancers out there! Designed on the different body type, this course focuses on building strength, stamina, flexibility and grace. Pointed toes and line are as important as strength-orientated tricks! Building on combinations of aerial work & spins, transitions and short bursts of choreography. This is pole sport more so than pole dance.
Every boy is different and Boys on Poles reflects this!

ADVANCED PREP
This is a transitional course, designed to give you the strength, stamina & confidence to move into the advanced levels.  Focusing on building strength and attention to detail on all moves learned so far. Incorporating all moves from Beginner & Intermediate levels, into spin & aerial combinations, focusing on transitions to and from moves.  Line and fluidity of moves are a main focus. As the course progresses the combos will become more lengthy and complex! Will include static & spin pole combos.

Perfect for those requiring more strength, and those not sure about moving up a level. Great for high-level students who have learned elsewhere & for those who have taken a break from pole.  This also acts as an extra course for students wanting pole twice a week.

You do need to have completed pole courses to at least Intermediate 3 or Advanced levels. Completion of this course will give you all the strength & confidence to move happily into the advanced levels.

SPIN POLE
This 4-week spin pole course will add the grace and elegance to your pole dancing. Spin Pole requires a different strength in your upper body than static pole, and works in conjunction with, and in addition to static pole. It will compliment your static pole classes as a second weekly workout, and will give you a new style of dancing to your already brilliant pole repertoire!

Open to Intermediate 1 Level and above.

ADVANCED LEVELS 1-6
Wow! You made it! Advanced levels 1 - 6 continue with intricate combinations of high skill level. Advanced levels assume a good understanding of not only pole, but a higher level of strength, flexibility & stamina. If you have followed through with all Bottoms Up!
