If you’re nervous about starting your pole dancing lessons, here are some useful tips to help get you started:

• Don't wear any moisturiser on the day of your pole dance class. It prevents you from gripping the pole and makes it really slippery which can be unsafe.
• Preferably, on the day of your pole dance lesson, wash with shampoo instead of body wash. This will strip natural oils and ensure your experience is less slippery.
  
• Being nervous or scared for your first pole dancing class is normal, just remember that everyone will be in the same position as you - they are there to learn to pole dance as well!
  
• Don't worry if you cannot get a move immediately, practice makes perfect. Often having a break from a move and going back to it at a later stage or the following week can be a real benefit. The next time you try it you will find you can do it!
• If you are unfortunate enough to get bruises from the pole during your pole dancing lesson, get some Arnica Gel. Your bruises will disappear very quickly.
• Don't feel embarrassed if you make a mistake while you learn to pole dance. Everyone does. The best thing is to take it in your stride, have a laugh and go again. Our instructures will help you to correct the mistake.
• Most of all enjoy yourself during your pole dance classes.

• Teachers - We're not all 6ft leggy blonde strippers, just normal women who love to pole dance and love to pass on our enthusiasm to others.
• Classes - Friendly / social atmosphere, we work on improving confidence, having fun and learning new skills. You won't be made to do anything you don't want to do, but we do like to push the occasional boundary!
• Exercise - You don't need to be mega fit, but it's not as easy as it looks –  expect to work up a bit of a sweat and tone up those muscles. We'll especially work on building up strength in the arms, shoulders and abs.
