Question 1

DO I NEED TO HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO JOIN CLASS?

Accepted Answer

We will teach you everything you need to know to progress in your chosen class. No prior background is required to participate. In our planning, you can see what level is required for each specific class.

For the moment, all of our flexibility or strength practices (flexibility, yoga or Pilates) you are all level classes.

If you are a complete beginner in poledance , you can either sign up for our Pole Level 1 or 1&2 class or sign up to our 6-week INTRO TO POLE course.

If you are interested in trying our sequence or choreography-based classes, we suggest taking the EMERGE course or a few Pole Level 1&2 classes first, to ensure you grasp the pole basics and can follow along more easily. With the guidance of your instructor, you can determine when you are ready to advance to the next level.
