Pole dance as we teach it originates from a mixture of various dance types and Chinese Pole performance which is performed by both men and women. Chinese Pole involves strength, determination and agility to master and when combined with dance creates a fluid, sensual performance. An example of Chinese Pole Performance can be found here and here!

Our classes offer you the choice of learning in weekly group lessons for those who would like to take up pole dancing as a hobby to increase their fitness levels, meet new friends and develop their ability alongside other likeminded people. These lessons are currently held in the City Centre and Horfield Leisure Centre.

Due to the fitness aspect of the classes in their modern format they are run as an ongoing series of lessons so students can continue for as long as they have interest in the activity. They can be paid for individualy or in a calendar month block at a reduced rate. The classes cover all aspects of pole dance from basic movement to beginner and advanced tricks to transition and floor moves and follow Introduction to Pole Dance through Stage 1 (Beginner) to Stage 4 (Advanced). You can find more details of what is covered at each stage on other pages in this website so take a look around!

If you are more interested in learning the exotic dance side of pole dancing or if you have a group of friends who are unsure about the lessons it is worth considering a one-off private lesson for between 1 and 8 people in our own private studio in Bristol City Centre.

Pole dancing is an amazing way to keep fit and it tones your body in ways other fitness routines can't so it is well worth keeping up for longer than the few weeks it takes to complete other 4 week courses. In fact, many of our students have gone on to purchase poles through Pole Play so they can continue to practice throughout the week between each class and several of our students have now been attending classes for over a year!
