Your First Pole Dance Class

What to Expect From a Pole Dance Lesson

Your Temple offers intimate classes in which you will have a pole to yourself.  With a maximum for four people in the class, you will be receive high quality tuition in techniques for building strength, achieving tricks and transitions and movement guidance.

Each lesson will start with a thorough warm-up and finish with a cool-down.  As the type of lessons offered will vary, any of the following may be included:

  • Conditioning

  • Choreography and flow sequences

  • Spins poses and transitions.

You will also have time included in each lesson to practice what you have learned.

What to Wear

Clothing

Bare skin is important for grip in pole dance.  If you are new to pole dance it may be daunting to have a lot of skin on show but don’t worry, shorts and a vest top are ideal for your first lesson.

Shoes

Shoes are encouraged but not essential.  If you do want to wear shoes for pole dance, it is recommended that you wear 6 inch, 7 inch or 8 inch platform shoes from a reputable brand (Pleaser, Hella Heels, Leecabe).  Street shoes are not permitted within pole dance lessons at Your Temple.

Skin

It is very important that you do not apply moisturiser, oils or lotions on the day of your pole dance lesson.  This includes sunscreen products.

Jewellery

Rings, metal bracelets, metal watches and metal anklets will also need to be removed for your lesson.

What to Bring

Please bring the following to your pole dance class:

  • Water (preferably in a refillable bottle) - you will be able to fill your bottle in the kitchen facility

  • Yoga mat.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel your lesson, you must inform Your Temple as soon as possible.  If you cancel with more than 24 hours’ notice you will be offered a space on a practise session.

Note: Cancellations made less than 12 hours prior to the lesson will likely result in the lesson being forfeited.

Late Arrival

Warm-ups are an integral part of pole dance lessons and therefore cannot be missed.  Unfortunately arriving more than 5 minutes late will mean that you will not be able to participate in the lesson.
