How do I book a class?

Arriving

Please make sure you arrive early to class.

We cannot permit anyone to join class if they arrive late and have missed any of the warm up, our warms up are specially designed to correctly mobilise the body and joints.

 

Student safety is our priority, so if a warm up is not completed you are at a high risk of injury and the instructor taking the session will not be insured to teach you.

​

What is the cancellation policy?

If you want to cancel your class we require a minimum of 24 hours before your class starts to avoid the penalty charge (which is the total amount of your class).

If you cancel your class before the 24 hours, full payment will be refunded to you. This applies to all of our classes. After the 24 hour mark classes cannot be refunded, exchanged or passed on. 


Memberships and class packs cannot be refunded, extended or transferred. Please make sure you can complete the total amount of classes in the time frame given as we will not be able to extend or refund the membership. However, if you are going away on holiday etc, we can put your membership on hold. Please contact us directly to arrange this.

How many people are there per pole?

We have a maximum of 2 people per pole, allowing plenty of pole time during the class.

 

Fly Pole we have a maximum of 3 people per pole, as we find longer breaks between moves and combos to be beneficial.

What to wear?

Pole Classes

Tight fitting shorts

Sports bra (if needed)

Vest top or t-shirt

If you don’t feel quite ready to wear shorts, then you are welcome to wear leggings/jogging bottoms. If they can be comfortably rolled above the knee that would be ideal, this is because the more skin that is on show the easier it is to grip onto the pole for certain moves.

​

Leggings (no mesh or buckles)

Long socks

Vest top or long sleeved top
 

Choreo Classes

Leggings

Socks

Kneepads
 

Heels Classes

What are the benefits of pole dancing?

Pole dancing builds muscle and tones the whole body, supporting your entire weight with one arm can be challenging and will build your upper body in particular. It also helps strengthen your core and if done regularly expect to see increased muscle definition in your bottom, arms and thighs.

Do I need a dance or gymnastics background to do pole dancing?

No, you don't need to have any previous experience, pole is for everyone, all shapes and sizes.

 

Here at The Pole Lab we always offer variations throughout classes and cater moves to each individual.

 

You will find your strength, flexibility and stamina improves the more you practice pole and it’s an amazing way to gain strength, confidence and make great friends!

Is there an age limit for classes?

For our classes you must be over the age of 16 to attend.
