What is this pole thing? How does it work? This is where to start your pole journey. We’ll go over the basic techniques that are used at all levels and well as teach some basic spins and tricks. If you’ve never done pole this is where we advise you start so you can have a good understanding of the terminology that we’ll use around the studio. You can stay at this level for as long as you feel it’s helpful, and when you’re ready to take those tricks to the next level…move on up!
