​You can always contact me to advise the best option for you or use this information below as a guideline.
<Total Beginners / Beginners> If you have never done Pole Fitness or Pole Dance before or you have already had a few classes that would be the perfect option. During the class all moves and elements are carefully explained, focusing on correct technique from the first step. The class is quite slowpaced and includes certain conditioning and stretching programme to prepare your body for more complicated movements.
<Intermediates> If you have trained for a while and are familiar with Pole Dance technique, that could be right choice for you. This class includes more complicated elements, challenging conditioning and stretching programme, as well as learning sequences and making up your own.
<Beginners / Experienced Beginners> If you know basic Pole Dance elements, although not ready yet for Intermediate class, it is the right place to improve already know moves, learn new ones and gain more control and strength in your body. This class is thought at a moderate pace.
