About to try your first-ever pole dance class at Pole Divas and don’t know what to expect? No need to stress, here’s the breakdown.

Firstly, double-check which type of class you are booked into. Here at Pole Divas, we offer both Static Pole and Spin Pole. But what’s the difference? Static pole is where the pole itself is stationary and you use momentum to spin around it, while Spin is where the actual pole spins on the spot and you can hold shapes as it moves.

Once you know what class you’re booked for, and you’ve arrived at the studio, make sure to let your friendly Desk Divas know you’re there for your first class and they can show you around the studio and our facilities.

All our classes start off with a full thorough warm-up, that gets the heart pumping and the body prepped for the tricks you’re about to learn. This usually goes for 15 minutes and is a super fun way to start a pole dance class.

Once the class is nice and warm, you’ll move on to strengthening and then, your tricks. Strength and conditioning is a huge part of pole, and is a great way for beginners to track how they are progressing. If you are someone who claims to have no strength, no need to stress, you’ll be surprised just how quickly after a few classes our conditioning will start to feel like a breeze.

The main portion of your class will consist of actual pole tricks. These will change week to week, so you’re always learning fresh new content. Tricks include things like basic spins, mounts, and climbing the pole. This will go for around 30 minutes.

Starting to wrap up your class, your instructor will take you through a quick dance section, where you will combine pole dancing with the tricks you have just learnt. This is super beginner-friendly choreography and will be repeated several times so that you feel nice and confident.

Right at the end, you will go through a 5-minute cool down to stretch out those muscles you just worked to ensure you are recovering properly.

And Voila, you’ve officially finished your first beginner pole dance class! Can’t wait to see you in the next one!
