POLE CLASSES


We have been asked a lot of questions about ways to prepare for pole class so here is our list of answers to the main queries people have.

What should I wear?


When you do your first few classes you won't necessarily need to be in shorts and a crop top. The  picture to the right is what we would recommend for a beginners class, but any kind of t-shirt and leggings, sweatpants or tracksuit bottoms will be fine. We will be barefoot so please arrive in whatever you feel most comfortable. 

After a few classes we will start thinking about climbing the pole and going upside down. For this we need our skin to grip the pole. A good example of the kind of thing to wear would be shorts and vest top. 

Do I need lots of upper body strength?


No upper body strength is required. Everyone will learn at their own pace and we will help you build your strength over time in order to do the moves which will require more strength.

Do I need to be really flexible?


No flexibility is required, but if you are flexible it can compliment pole very well. At the end of each class we stretch out which will help improve your flexibility, and as you become more advanced we will be able to help you progress by showing you stretches to do in your own time.

I am under 18. Am I still allowed to come to class? 


If you are under 18 we will need permission from a parent or guardian, either in person or via  email. We are not insured to teach students younger than 16 years old.

I am a bigger girl. Can I still learn pole?

Of course you can! Size is not a problem at all and pole is for people of all shapes and sizes. A famous pole dancer from America called LuLu is an inspiration to bigger girls who want to learn pole. She 
was on America's Got Talent and it's worth checking her routine out below.  

Why can't I moisturise before pole class?


We use our skin to grip the poles and moisturiser makes it slippery - the same applies for oils, fake tans and any other lotions. We recommend that you either wash your hands (the most important part of your body when starting to learn pole) before coming to class or simply don't use moisturiser at all that day. We also ask that all rings and jewellery are removed for class to stop the poles being scratched.

Does pole dancing hurt? 


We won't lie about this as we want you to know what to expect. You are likely to ache after your first class as it is very strenuous on the body, but the great feeling of achievement the next day shows you how hard you've worked. As you progress and start to climb the pole you may have some bruising to the skin which will get easier as your body gets used to the pressure of the pole. 

AERIAL HOOP 

I am a bigger girl. Can I still learn aerial hoop?


People are often worried they wont be able to get up and into the hoop for various reasons? We have hoops at lots of different heights so that you will be able build up your strength At a rate you feel comfortable with. Classes for aerial hoop can be booked as a one-off, so come and have a go and see for yourself.

What do I wear? 


We recommend people wear leggings and a t-shirt with sleeves. The more skin covered, the better as it helps prevent the hoops rubbing on your skin.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY...

"After just 3 months of my classes with Dan I started to notice such a difference in my body. I dropped two dress sizes and had never felt so fit, strong and toned. Pole fitness has given me so much more confidence and while at classes I have never felt judged for my age, size or body shape and the friends I have made has changed my life. Joining IFA was one of the best things I've done" - Karen Turpin, Student
