If you're brand new to pole dancing, we highly recommend our Signature 8-Week “Learn to Pole Dance” Series Program. This structured series is perfect for beginners who want solid foundations, proper technique, and steady progress.

If you’re not ready to commit to a full 8-week series, you can book:

• A Private One-on-One Introductory Class, or
• A Group Intro to Pole Class
   

Both are designed to introduce you to basic grips, spins, technique, and safety.

Heels are not required for our Pole Fitness classes—especially if you’re brand new. Many beginners start barefoot to focus on building foundational strength, balance, and confidence before adding the extra weight and technique of wearing heels.

Once you progress and feel comfortable, you’re welcome to incorporate pole-specific heels into your training. They can enhance style, flow, and technique, but they do add challenge, so we recommend easing into them over time.

Important:

• Street shoes are not permitted.
• Only heels specifically designed for pole dancing (such as Pleasers or similar brands) are allowed.
• Regular fashion heels are not allowed, as they are unsafe and not built for pole movement or floorwork.
   

Training should always feel empowering, safe, and aligned with your current level—heels are an option, not an expectation.

Pole Fitness Classes

• No metal hand jewelry
• Avoid lotion for 24 hours prior to class—lotion + pole = no grip
• Wear form-fitted pole or yoga shorts and a tank top or sports bra
• Skin contact is essential for gripping the pole; fabric will slide
   

Kasey’s studio bag recommendations:
Knee pads, leg warmers, socks

Important:
Under garments, lingerie, or attire that resembles underwear are not allowed.

Aerial Classes (Silks, Hoop, Hammock, Aerial Yoga)

• No metal hand jewelry, necklaces, or dangling earrings
• Wear clothing that covers the backs of your knees and your torso to prevent fabric or hoop burns
• Leggings and fitted tops are ideal
