About The Pole Studio

Whether you are a beginner looking for a fun way to get fit with friends or if you are an advanced pole dancer wanting to learn the latest tricks, we have a class for you.
We also have a Pole Studio in Pretoria, South Africa run by Pole Fitness Champion, Tracey Simmonds.
At The Pole Studio we will provide you with a total body workout, regardless of your age, size or fitness level. Pole Fitness will increase your flexibility, help you lose weight, build your core strength, stamina and fitness and most importantly, it’s great fun.
Each lesson consists of a warm up, series of tricks, spins, poses and transitions on and around the pole before a cool down.

What do we teach at The Pole Studio?

BEGINNER 1 POLE FITNESS
The aim of our Beginners classes is to build your confidence on and around the pole.

BEGINNER 2 POLE FITNESS
​You will be introduced to the first steps of inverting (going upside down) and conditioning techniques.

​INTERMEDIATE POLE FITNESS
​At this level, you will be learning more challenging moves, spins, inverts, holds and combinations.

ADVANCED POLE FITNESS
​Our Advanced classes incorporate harder tricks, inverts, spins, holds and combinations.

ELITE POLE FITNESS
​Our Elite levels are designed for the hardcore poler with a very high level of fitness, strength and endurance.

FLEXIBILITY AND CONDITIONING
​This class has been specifically designed to help our students improve their flexibility.

SPINNING POLE
Our spinny pole classes include moves from our static syllabus, with some new elegant, spinny specific moves added in. You will learn how to control your momentum and fall in love with the way the pole freely moves, allowing you to hold both spins and tricks with ease. You must be at an intermediate level and know how to strongly invert to join our spinny pole classes.

ROUTINE CLASSES
This class is for students of all levels who want to explore dancing and build a routine into their Pole Fitness classes.

CHOREOGRAPY
​These classes are for those who want to work on a routine but need an outside eye or have an idea but don’t know how to start.

PRIVATE SESSIONS
The Pole Studio offers private lessons for 121’s or small groups, great for those who want to learn at their own pace.

POLE PARTIES
Hen do? 40th? 30th? 50th? anniversary, 21st birthday? Thank goodness it’s Friday pole parties are available.

PRACTISE SESSIONS
Practice sessions are available at our Basingstoke, Dorking, Staines, Surbiton and Twickenham Pole Studios.
For £7.50 an hour you are guaranteed to get a pole on your own to practise and perfect moves you have been learning within your lessons. Our practise sessions are open to all The Pole Studio students. You must have someone with you at all times when practising, as you must not be alone in the studio for safety and insurance purposes.
