Heels Of Steel -
This class centers around learning how to pole dance in heels safely and confidently. Each class will start with a targeted mobility and conditioning warm up, specifically designed to help open up and strengthen areas that will lead to more fluid movements and cleaner lines. You'll then be led through a series of heels conditioning exercises to help build up strong ankle engagement and will then learn a piece of flow, consisting of standing, low pole and floorwork elements.
Heels are mandatory for this class, and we also recommend bringing knee pads. If you wish to practice pole dancing without heels, please see our Flow Class and Choreo Class options.
This class is suitable for all levels, except complete beginners. Please ensure you have attended at least 8 beginners classes before attending this class. In addition to this, students should be able to demonstrate a confident step around, pirouette, fireman spin, backhook spin and chair spin.

Personal Practice
£6
You must have attended 6 pole classes (with any pole studio) to attend this session.
This session is for you to come and practice without an instructor. It is a great time to practice moves you have learnt from class and nail them, create a routine or simply have fun and freestyle!
Please be EXTRA cautious and use the mats provided. If you happen to have the studio to yourself, it is HIGHLY recommended that you do not try anything new, dangerous, or anything that would require a spot. There is no instructor present but should you need assistance for anything, please contact Personal Pole.
RULES:
Personal practice is ONLY in the green studio.
Do NOT change the poles to spin/static, even if you’re a teacher and you know how to.
There will always be one on static and two left on spin, if they are not the ones that you would like, that’s tough sorry.
No outside shoes to be worn in the studio, please remove them before entering.
Pole heels are allowed as long as they have no chunky zips, no buckles, studs or any metal at all. The same goes for clothing.
Absolutely NO heels to be worn on the black pole. Bare foot only.
Remove ALL jewellery from fingers/wrists (this includes Fitbits) If your ring doesn’t come off - you cannot use our poles.
Clean your pole from top to bottom PROPERLY! A quick wipe won’t do. Scrub it with the cloth and spray provided until it is completely clean/dry.
Close windows, turn of plugs, put away, mats, even if someone is in before/after you.
Take your rubbish with you, don’t leave it in the studio.
If you break any of these rules, you will be banned from attending future personal practices.

The amount of confidence pole fitness can give to you is actually quite amazing, do the research yourself if you don't believe me - there are plenty of people spreading the love for pole.
