OUR UPCOMING COURSE:
our next intro to pole course will be starting in January 2025 !!!
don't want to wait?? drop into one of our Beginner Pole sessions during the week!!
Head over to Getting started page for all the details!!
Who is the course for?
Our INTRODUCTION TO POLE course is designed for those who have ZERO pole experience, however if you have attended a few sessions in the past and would like to re-start and refresh your pole skills, you are also welcome to join us!
The most frequent question we get is if someone can sign up to the course/class even if they never touched a pole before and cannot hold themselves up...so we're here saying...
ABSOLUTELY! We want you!
Why 12 weeks? We get it, this might seem a bit long, but hear us out...
A 12-week course is the ideal duration for a beginner pole dance programme because it provides students with the time and space necessary to build a strong foundation.
While it may seem long, this extended timeframe allows for gradual progression, ensuring that our students fully develop their skills, confidence, and physical strength without feeling rushed.
We found that the shorter courses we ran previously left students feeling overwhelmed and underprepared, by spreading the learning over 12 weeks, we create a more supportive environment where students can steadily improve, stay motivated, and ultimately achieve their goals with a greater sense of accomplishment, creating an amazing community throughout.
What's included?
On top of your full course which consists of 12x 60mins sessions you will get:
weekly emails full of support, tips, encouragement and motivation along your pole journey with practical advice and discounts
guidance of qualified and experienced instructors who will safely support and teach you all the wonderful things of the pole world
a goodie bag to help you start your pole addiction right!
FULL ACCESS to ONLINE mobility and flexibility library to help your body feel amazing especially after all your hench pole classes
15% graduate discount on any membership if you continue training after completing the course
What if I miss a class?
We get it, sometimes it's hard to make sure you have the same day / time free so if you end up missing a class you will be able to make it up in one of our drop in classes instead! You will receive the code you'll use to book a catch up class in the course instruction email.
How much is it?
The full course is at a bargain price of £120...but that's not all!
We are offering you an even BETTER deal...if you attend our pole taster class (27th Aug or 10th Sept), in a follow up email after the class you will receive a discount code that will take the course price to amazing £99 !! WHAT A STEAL!!

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO ASK US? USE THE CONTACT FORM BELOW:
Have a read through frequently asked questions about starting...
Do I need to be ‘fit – have abs of steel and loads of strength’ to start? Can I pole if I am ‘plus-size’?
- You do not need to be at any particular fitness level to start pole, or have any background in fitness to attend the classes, everyone can start pole regardless whether you are a regular ‘gym goer’ or have never exercised before
- If you do have any injuries, ailments, have recently given birth or had an operation just make sure you have been given the go ahead to exercise from your physician
What to expect from my first class?
- Expect to have lots of fun discovering something new!
- We are a welcoming all-inclusive studio and our main priority is to make everyone feel at ease and have fun!
- Your class will start with the instructor introducing themselves and checking in with everyone, they will then take you through the warm up to prepare the body for exercise, followed by some pole specific conditioning, class plan and finishing with a cool down
- In your first class we will be going over the fundamentals of pole – understanding muscle engagement and our whereabouts around pole to ease us into it, you will learn some spins and moves which are low to the ground whilst you are building the confidence on and awareness of pole
- When you are learning and perfecting moves on the pole there is a risk that you will get bruising and/or friction burns (we call them pole kisses), some people bruise more easily than others
What do I need for my first class?
- Make sure you bring a bottle of water with you
- You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in – leggings are fine to start with, you can also wear shorts; and a top
- If you would like to attend classes but have questions concerning modesty for personal or religious reasons please get in touch (thepoleloft.liverpool＠gmail.com) and we can advise you on which classes and pole wear might be right for you
- For your safety and also to maintain equipment we ask you to leave any jewellery i.e. rings, bracelets, watches, piercings etc. at home as they can injure you and also damage the poles
- We will ask you to take your shoes off, you can wear socks but bear in mind that it will make you more slippery
- Don’t wear a moisturiser – that includes hand cream – as it makes you slippery and it also leaves a residue on the pole
Is there an age limit?
- The studio’s minimum age requirement for students to join classes on their own is 18
- Minors over the age of 16 are able to attend our classes with the consent of a parent or a guardian, a parent/guardian must attend with any person under the age of 18 to provide a valid form of identification – once this is completed minors are allowed to take the classes on their own
Do you allow all genders in classes?
- Yes we absolutely do – everyone is welcome to join our classes regardless of gender, religion, race, beliefs…
- We are committed to creating an all-inclusive, welcoming and safe environment, we believe in equal opportunities and aim to continue building a safe, strong and supportive community
- We expect our instructors, students and visitors to treat everyone with respect and kindness
