Pole Dancing Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be physically fit?

No. All kinds of people can benefit from pole dancing regardless of size/shape/tone. Good physical fitness is something we aim to work towards and not necessarily start off with!

Am I too old/young?

Unfortunately, I don’t teach under 18’s or over 65’s to pole dance.

What should I wear?

Shorts and vest top or t-shirt are best as skin contact with the pole helps you grip better. Trainers, ballet pums and jazz shoes are the best footwear but for a real pole dance experience feel free to wear your sexiest heels!

What should I bring?

You might like to bring a towel (a small one), water and a camera.

I think I’m too big for it…..?

Please! I don’t even want to get into how beautifully bigger girls can move while pole dancing!

How do I book a lesson?

Please contact Tiny.

Health and Safety Rules

No ‘Dutch Courage’: we just don’t do it. If you’ve been drinking you’ll be asked to leave.

Don’t come to class with oils or lotions or fake tan on your skin. It will off on the pole and make it too slippery to safely work on.

Don’t teach unless you are qualified enough. Being helpful and supportive to your fellow students is fine, but to save injuries from a mis0taught trick, please leave the teaching to your instructor.

No ‘Diva-ing’: please don’t hog the pole!

Be warned: you are likely to suffer some minor injuries whilst learning any new sport. In pole dance, understand that you are putting your body under new strains and may result in bruises and pole burn. This will subside once your body gets used to being used in this way.

Be sensible: if you’re feeling frisky and want to invert (go upside-down) ask me to spot you. That’s an order!
