Do I need to have previous dance experience or be coordinated?
Not at all! No matter your background, our courses cater for the absolute beginner right through to the more advanced student looking for a challenge.
Am I too old?
Definitely not! Bella's Pole Studio is extremely proud of its diverse student age range, with ages ranging from 16 years right through to 60 years of age! With a healthy attitude, we believe anything is achievable. Whether you're looking at trying something new, bored of the usual gym routine, looking to lose that post baby weight, unwind from work or studies, tone your body, lose some weight, or socialise with the friendly students and staff, Bella's Pole Studio classes are helping women of all ages, sizes and ability levels feel fabulous and look good.
What does a typical class involve?
Our classes run for one hour so it is important you arrive 5-10 minutes early to ensure that you can begin your class on time. A one hour class includes a thorough warm up, core conditioning and cool down. The main class component involves learning different pole skills which are later linked and developed into a combination or routine. Pole skills learnt depend on the level undertaken and vary from learning how to spin, climb or hang. To ensure muscular strength and balance are achieved and maintained, pole skills are practiced using both sides of the body. Courses are conducted with an emphasis on technique, safe practice and with the desire to educate students on correct muscle use.
How do students advance from one level to the next?
Our progressive courses allow students to commence at a beginner's level (Level 1) and work towards reaching new heights in the more advanced levels (Level 14). There are no exams at the end of an eight week course however students are guided individually by their instructor and given goals to strive towards. On completion of a program, students have the choice to progress to the next level or undertake the same program should they wish to perfect their technique and further develop their strength.
What should I wear?
Our classes are designed with the intention of increasing one's fitness levels. Shorts or tights are suitable for Level 1 however for the higher levels you will benefit the most by having bare arms and legs to grip the pole: shorts or tights and a tank top / singlet are fine. We also offer Bella's Pole Studio uniforms available for sale at the studio so you can really feel like a super star! We ask that you DO NOT wear or apply any body lotions, creams or oils to your body (including hands) on the day of your pole class as this will affect your grip on the pole. This is not only for your safety but for those students in following classes.
