Level 101 Pole Dance classes are structured for women who have never tried Pole Dancing before. Classes are designed to suit any fitness level and body type. It’s great for your body and your love life. Improve balance, coordination and posture.

These classes are designed to get fit and have fun; they are not ‘stripper classes’. For girls in the industry, private lessons are recommended.

Helpful Hints

Bring a water bottle and a towel. (we have a water fountain and towel rental just in case)

wear clothing that is suitable for your class. Pole classes require skin to stick to the pole, shorts and tank tops or sport bra’s are best.

Running shoes are best for Cardio Striptease while bare feet are recommended for pole classes.

Do not apply lotions or oils before attending pole classes as it will be more difficult to grasp onto the pole.

Everyone may feel a little nervous at first but there is absolutely no nudity and you will do only what feels comfortable in a noncompetitive and safe environment.

These classes are designed for fitness and fun, for women in the industry please check Industry Classes

"I finally decided to retire after 10 years of dancing. I had a few good years left in me physically but mentally I was done. My body was used to a lot of exercise. After quitting I found it very difficult to keep my figure. I dieted and tried different various forms of exercise. Aerobic classes, weight training, even running didn’t seem to be that effective. Not only was it not working to keep me fit but these were not exercises that I enjoyed. I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to try a training routine similar to the one that I had while I was dancing. I have structured a fitness routine using the moves that resemble the ones I had used in my performances. I have been using this routine for only a short while and can already see my body transforming back to the toned and lean condition that is was in while I was a dancer. It seems the perfect combination of using your own strength to hold your body weight up (pole moves), cardio (dancing), and strength and stretching (floor moves) is what keeps my body in the best shape. If this works for me, I figure it will work for most people. This is why I decided to teach and help other women achieve their fitness goals."
