Dorset

Polelatis - Bridport, Dorset UK

This is an amazing way to strengthen the upper body and work on core strength as well as improve co- ordination, flexibility and stamina.
With me you do not just learn pole moves. I believe unless you strengthen the specific muscle groups you need for the moves you will never be able to achieve them, so I include resistance exercises to help you achieve this.
Not only will you notice how much stronger you become, you will also be so proud of yourself when you achieve a new move.
When learning combinations of spins, transitions and poses, you will also find you get quite out of breath. Your heart rate will go up and you will burn about 250 - 300 calories per hour.
If you get bored easily in gym work outs, then this is definitely the new work out for you. Try some thing new, you'll really see and feel the difference. Polelatis is run by Level 1 PDC pole dancing instructor Ally O-Reilly.

VertiPole - East Sussex UK

Established in 2007, Vertipole, formerly known as Elevations Vertical Studio Ltd, was the first and original pole school in Hailsham and surrounding areas of East Sussex in the UK, teaching complete beginners through to the most advanced level of pole fitness and dance. All instructors take pride in spending time with students to perfect the basic groundings of moves before progressing on to the more difficult pole skills so once students reach the novice/inter level , the instruction is based on that particular student and how their progression is going. It is rare that the whole group progress at the same pace. Students are given our ' moves checklist' which they can bring to classes. Once they complete a move, combination or routine it is signed off by the instructor. This is a great way for our instructors to keep track of the students progress but also a fabulous confidence boost to the students when they see just how much they have learned and what is still to come!

I started Pole Dancing at the age of 19, working in clubs accross the country. At the time it was still a controversial profession and I soon gave up trying to justify my job to new people (and some friends)!

After moving to the Midlands in 2004 and having a baby, I found that I had lost confidence in myself both physically and emotionally. Whilst working to regain this, I realized that pole dancing itself was a great way to build confidence and challenge your body and mind.
