We know that people don’t quite know what to expect inside a pole dancing studio or pole dancing for beginners. Many feel that they are not fit enough, skinny enough, young enough, strong enough, flexible enough…you name it, we hear these things all the time. This is why we have FREE Pole Fitness Trial Classes available, so that you can come into the studio and see that it is a friendly place, with ladies of all sorts, having fun and achieving amazing things!

These FREE Trial Classes run for 30 minutes and are designed as an introduction to the studio. We bring you in and show you around, and then take you through your very first class pole dancing for beginners. You will start with a gentle warm-up, and then we will teach you some beginner pole dancing moves and then explain our classes, and answer any questions you may have. These are available at all of our studios, every week, and bookings are essential.

The second option is to come along to one of the Casual Classes on our schedule and get your first class FREE. The Casual Classes are all different, and suited to first timers, unless otherwise stated in bold. We recommend “Tricksters” or “Choreo” as great first classes to come to, because they give you the best feel for what pole dancing for beginners is all about. You are more than welcome to come to a “Strength & Tone” or "Flexxy" class instead, just as long as you are aware that these classes don’t really involve much or any pole work, so might not give you the best idea of what pole is all about. Bookings are essential, book your spot via our website.

Level/Course Classes - All classes in BOLD font or say “Course” after the class name on the timetable - for example Beginner 1 Course. Course Classes can be attended by enrollment for the term (no drop in attendance). During the term you will learn a specially formulated curriculum including tricks, strengthening, dance choreography and stretching to help you learn how to pole dance, right from absolute beginner level. Course Classes run for 8 Weeks or 4 Weeks (starts half way through term).

Casual Classes - All classes which say “Casual” after the class name on the Timetable. These classes can be attended by students enrolled in a Course, or on a casual drop-in basis even if you aren’t doing a Course with us. They are suited to all levels and we have multiple Casual Classes to choose from each day. You can start doing Casual Classes anytime!

Most students who come to try pole dancing tell us that they want to try pole dancing classes because they are bored with the gym, they don’t use their gym membership, and they feel like just another number at their gym. Some ladies who come to pole have not exercised ever, or for a very long time, and may have had time off to have babies, or have just been super busy and forgotten to do something for themselves. We have ladies who are of all shapes, sizes, fitness abilities and ages from 14 to in their 60’s. To answer a very common question - no there is no weight limit on our poles, and we have several plus-sized ladies who do amazing things on the pole too!

We pride ourselves on getting to know all of our students by name. Many ladies come to us ‘flying solo’ and don’t have a friend at the beginning, but don’t worry, you will get to know your group and become friends very quickly. You are all in the same boat, and usually everyone feels a little nervous the first couple of times they come to the studio.

In pole dancing for beginners, we ease you into things. We take you through a gentle, safe, yet effective warm-up at the start of the class, to prepare your body for the pole moves and dancing. We then incorporate some basic strengthening exercises that are designed to help you slowly and safely build strength and confidence on the pole. Then we move onto the ‘tricks’ and dancing section of the class, learning a couple of tricks in a class, and then put into a fun dance routine taught by your instructor. By the end of the term, you will know a whole dance routine, with about 6 different beginner tricks included! Each class concludes with a cool down and stretching.

There are plenty of water breaks and we are happy for you to take things at your own pace…there are no drill sergeant instructors here, but don’t let that fool you - you WILL get a good workout!

No dance background? No problem - we don’t expect you to move like Beyonce, we just want you to have fun. That’s what pole dancing is all about!

Pole Classes: Tank/Crop, Shorts (for skin grip), bare feet or 'Pleaser' branded shoes. Please don’t moisturise on the day of your pole class as this will make you very slippery on the pole.

Flexxy, Pilates, Yoga & Handstands – Tank/Crop Top, Leggings & Socks.

We need to use our skin to grip the pole, so we wear shorts. Some ladies feel nervous about wearing shorts, so if this is you, we recommend wearing longer, but loose fitting shorts that you can pull up when you need to grip the pole with your thighs. Any comfortable top is fine, and we usually dance in bare feet.

Sometimes you can expect minor bruises where your skin comes into contact with the pole, but this disappears over time as your body adjusts. You can also expect to have muscle soreness the day or two after class- pole is a very good workout! Again, you will adjust to this, and the soreness is not expected to be more than what you get if you attend any other form of new exercise.

If you are looking for pole dancing for beginners you can start in our Intro to Pole Course, and then you work your way up through the levels as you are able to, progressing through Levels as you are able to. Our terms are usually 8 weeks, and it is not uncommon to do levels more than once, but everyone is different. If you repeat the same level, you will learn the same tricks, but to a different song, and some students may repeat a level multiple times until they are ready to move up. This is totally fine If you think you would like to start a higher level or progress faster, you can undertake a 30 minute assessment with an instructor for $20 to see which level is recommended to you.

Our Studio has both on and off street parking available. We have flattering lighting (no nasty fleuro lights) so you feel more comfortable in your shorts. We have a toilet and change room if you need to come straight from work.

We also have a Private Facebook group for current students, and this is a hub of activity with students sharing their progress. There is a social group run by a fellow student, which has monthly catch ups doing all sorts of things, and we often get together in groups to go to watch pole competitions and do other fun activities. We have optional Student Creations and Performance Nights for those who would like to participate as well.

If you are looking for something that you can do for yourself, to make you feel good, look good, and give you time out, then give beginners pole dancing a try at Queens of Pole Fitness & Dance!

Any ladies aged 14+ years of age can attend our classes with parental consent. You are never too old to learn a new trick!
