SHOW NIGHT - 5th May      

Frequently Asked Questions

---

What should I wear or bring?

Wear gym gear e.g. tank top/shorts. We advise against tights, leggings or yoga pants as you will need to use the bare skin at the back of your legs and knees to grip onto the pole! Wear shoes you are comfortable in - runners, bare feet, platform heels, it's up to you! Please avoid using moisturiser or any lotions on days that you have pole class - the oils will come out of your skin when you start exercising and will make the poles very slippery and hard to use! We also recommend you bring a bottle of water - and if you have any pole accessories such as sweat bands, gloves, leg warmer or grip aids bring those too.

I'm unfit / uncoordinated - can I still pole dance?

Of course! We have classes suitable for absolute beginners of all shapes and sizes and any fitness level. All of our instructors are able to adapt moves to make them easier or harder to suit the individual. (Note: If you have any existing medical conditions, or are pregnant, we recommend you see your doctor before participating in pole dance classes.)

I've missed the beginning of the block/term, when can I start classes?

You can start any time! We run several casual classes each week - no bookings required, just turn up 5 or 10 mins early to sign in and pay for the class. If you've only missed 1 or 2 weeks of the term, you may still be able to enrol and attend a couple of casual classes, or book in for a private, to catch up. Plus, we have 4, 6 and 8 week blocks running through each term so if you miss the cut off for one, why not check out our timetable and see what else is on?

What does enrolment include?

As enrolled students you are guaranteed a pole to yourself for every pole dance class (except where stated otherwise, eg. in some special offers/discounts). You are also able to come to a free make-up class if you cannot make it to one of your block classes, provided you let management know in advance (see Terms and Conditions). You can also come in to our studio and practice your moves during our scheduled Practice Times for just $10/hr (FREE for members). Plus, as current students you are entitled to discounted ticket prices at Pure Pole events, such as our Student Performance Nights and Christmas Party!

What happens if I can't make it to one of my classes?

If you're going to miss one of the classes in a pre-paid block, don't worry - we DO offer make up classes! All you have to do is notify management in advance of your absense (by phone or email) and then come along to any Casual class within the same term for free. Please let the receptionist and/or your instructor know which class you are doing a make up for, when you arrive. To read our full policy on make up classes, please see the Terms and Conditions

What does membership include?

As a Pure Pole member you are entitled to 10% off all classes (blocks, casuals, privates etc. - excludes special event workshops), 10% off party bookings, discounted ticket prices for Pure Pole events (such as our Student Performance Nights and Christmas Party), plus 10% off selected products and merchandise. You can also come to unlimited practice sessions during our scheduled Practice Times - for FREE!

I'm male / under 18 - can I still take classes at your studio?

Yes! Our pole dancing classes are suitable for men and women of all backgrounds and all ages! However, if you're under 16, you will need a parent or guardian to attend with you and/or sign your enrolment form. We have classes specifically designed for men, such as our strength based Pole Power block - please contact management to discuss suitabilty if you're not sure.
