Pole BEGINNER
Here are answers to common questions to help you feel confident on your journey.
1. No Basics Required.
Contrary to popular belief, there are absolutely no prerequisites or prior experience required to start pole dancing. All you need is a touch of courage and commitment to learning, and we'll take care of the rest!
2. Is Pole Dance for Everyone?
YES! Pole dance is open to all genders and ages. It celebrates diversity and embraces the unique styles and strengths each individual brings to the art.
3. What Do I Need To Prepare?
A simple dress code is all you need: a comfortable t-shirt or sports bra and a pair of shorts. Please remove any jewelry before joining our class to prevent potential damage to the poles. Additionally, refrain from using body lotions or oils within 24 hours before your class to ensure a clean, secure grip on the pole, promoting a safe and enjoyable experience.
4. Structure Of A Pole Dance Class.
Our pole class begins with a 15-minute warm-up session to prepare your body for the pole work ahead. We then delve into pole tricks and figures, breaking down each move into manageable steps. We practice these steps until you've mastered them, and if a particular move proves too challenging, we provide regression options to ensure your progress. Once all students are ready, we weave these tricks and shapes together into a choreographed sequence set to music. Feel free to capture your dance journey by recording videos of your pole performances! The last 5 minutes are dedicated to a cool-down and stretching session designed to restore muscle balance and leave you feeling rejuvenated.
5. Do You Have Any Advice For Plus Sizes?
Pole dance is an incredibly inclusive sport that embraces individuals of all body types with open arms. It is a canvas for self-expression and empowerment, allowing anyone to shine. While there may be some extra effort involved for those with larger body types, we encourage our students to see it as a challenge and an opportunity to explore their strength, grace, and capabilities in ways they might not have imagined! We firmly believe that everyone can do this sport, and we're here to support you every step of the way, helping you overcome hurdles, break boundaries, and find beauty in your unique journey.
6. How Often Should I Attend Classes?
We recommend starting with 2 to 3 classes a week to allow your body to seamlessly integrate this exciting sport into your lifestyle. Overburdening yourself with more classes could be too demanding initially. As you progress, we encourage diversifying your fitness journey by incorporating other classes such as strip plastic, exotic, or flexibility training. This combination not only adds variety to your routine but also promotes a well-rounded approach to your overall fitness and wellness goals.
