BEFORE YOU START
Read the information below to find out what you need to bring and wear and anything else you might need to know to prepare.

POLE DANCING - What to bring and Wear
For pole dancing it is essential that you have bare legs so that you can grip the pole. If you are brave you could wear a short skirt or shorts. If you are feeling more modest its fine to wear a knee length skirt that is not too restricting, but you may have to hitch it up a bit for certain tricks. Please be aware that in some lessons we will do floor moves where we kick our legs up in the air, so if you wear a skirt you may want to wear hot pant style knickers underneath.

Wear high heeled shoes or boots, preferable with a sole that is not too slippery. Very pointed toes are sometimes hard to dance in, and platforms are too. Wear something on top that you can move in easily like a vest or tee shirt.

Extra things to bring with you are jogging bottoms and trainers for the warm up, and you might want to bring a drink of water.

Other Preparation
In pole dancing you often use muscles you have never really used before because of this a lot of people say that they are really quite stiff after the first lesson. However it normally seems that by the second week the body has got used to it and people don't tend to get too stiff after this. If you want to prepare yourself before a course, any upper body strength exercise you can do in the gym or at home will help.

When you first start pole dancing you are likely to get a few bruises as you knock the pole. As you practice more this stops as your skin gets resistant to it and your strength and technique develop. If you know that you bruise easily, or know you are planning to wear a skirt out there are some treatments that you can get in advance to use straight after the lesson. Taking zinc tablets helps treat bruises, as does applying arnica cream, which is available from most health food shops or chemists. If you feel like you are getting a bit sore during the lesson get your teacher to check your technique as it may be something simple you can change.

It's quite normal when you start out pole dancing to get slippery hands, partly because you are working out and partly because as soon someone feels slightly nervous the hands tend to get a bit clammy. However about one tenth of people get really slippery hands and this can make things quite difficult. Your teacher will have some special hand grip powder reserved for those in need and just ask her if you want some.

WORKSHOPS
For all of our workshops you just need to wear something that you can move in fairly easily but feel sexy in. Jeans with a bit of stretch, for example, are a good thing to wear. Always wear heels if you can. If you prepare by pampering yourself so that you feel gorgeous this will help you get into character on the day. You don't need to bring anything to a lap dance workshop, for seduction dance please check with us first but you normally need to bring a spare bra and shirt or cardi (don't worry, no nudity at all, you just need to layer up in order to take things off) and for burlesque bring a spare shirt or cardigan. We will supply you with pen and paper to make notes of all routines.

HEN PARTIES
For hen parties you will need the same as above, depending on your activity. However we understand that you may be going on somewhere straight afterwards and you may not want carry a change around with you, so we are a bit more relaxed about what you have to bring and wear. Our main aim is that everyone feels comfortable when taking part and we normally find that with hens the aim is just to have a laugh and have a go really, rather than do it really seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I am feeling nervous?
Don't worry, most people feel nervous before their first time pole dancing. Everyone is in the same boat to start with and it's a new thing to everyone. The classes have a really fun, friendly and empowering atmosphere and you will soon be totally at ease.

What if I don't have much dance experience?
Don't worry, you don't need to have any dance experience at classes taught for complete beginners.

What if I'm not very strong?
You don't need to be very strong for these classes. It doesn't take a lot of strength to spin on a pole, you just need to know correct technique. Spinning will build your strength up to give you the power to do flips and climb the pole. You could prepare for classes by building up you upper body strength in the gym or doing press ups at home, but this is not essential.

What if I want to book a course but know I am going on Holiday and will miss a date?
If you state that you will be missing a certain date before the start of the course you can have a class in leiu ie: you can make up the missed class in another course, so that you don't miss out. However please note that after the start of the course if you do not attend a class for any other reason than proven physical injury you forfiet that lesson.

What if I don't have anyone else to go with me?
Most of our students come alone, but as it is such an unusual thing to do everyone bonds very quickly and they are normally all best friends by the end of the first couple of classes.

I'm worried everyone else will be size 10 and 18 year old prospective pole dancers
Whilst our classes do provide you with good training, should you wish to make a career in pole dancing most of our participants are there to get fit and have fun. Only a very small percentage are interested in dancing professionally. Our participants are from a whole range of backgrounds and ages.

I'm worried I'm not attractive / young / slim enough.
Don't worry, the great thing about our classes is that there is a wide range of women of all different ages, shapes, sizes and looks. These classes are about having fun and getting fit, not what you look like and just because we are pole dancing it doesn't mean we have to conform to identikit female stereotypes portrayed in table dancing clubs.
