Pole Basics & Conditioning is the perfect class for beginners and those wanting to refine their technique while building the strength and mobility needed for a confident pole practice. In this class, we’ll focus on breaking down the fundamental elements of pole dance while incorporating conditioning exercises designed to support your progress.

Whether your goal is to feel stronger, build confidence, or prepare for more advanced pole skills, this class offers a well-rounded blend of technique, strength training, and creative movement exploration.

Please wear pole shorts that expose the upper thighs for grip, or sticky leggings made for pole training. A tank top or sports bra is recommended to allow your biceps, sides, and torso to make necessary contact with the pole for climbs and holds.
