DanceClub Asheville Intro to Pole Dancing

Where should I start?

8 WEEK INTRO TO POLE SERIES!

We start a new series every 3 to 4 weeks. Click HERE to find the next start date!

Start from the beginning and learn the fundamentals of spins, climbs, and sexy dance moves on the static and spin pole. This concentrated eight week series is great for building strength and a quicker understanding of the mechanics, timing, and grace that is helpful for pole dancing.

We will focus on the static pole for the first 6 weeks and move to an introduction of the beauty of spin pole for the last two. Open Pole time in between your classes is a great way to get really comfortable and confident with everything you'll learn.

Pole dancing is fun, an amazing workout, and sensually expressive. Enjoy learning with the same group of students each week who are all brand new to pole.

Bring heels because they are fun to dance in and a lot less intimidating than they seem! Wear shorts that come at least 2 inches above the knee. Do not wear lotion.

If you're unable to commit to a series right now try the Saturday Intro/Beginner Pole class that happens every week at 1:30, or the Tuesday 10 am Intro/Beginner Pole class. We recommend signing up online ahead of time to reserve your spot!

FAQ's for Pole

Where can I buy a pole to put up in my home?! 

Answer: Great question! If you're unable to make it to regular Open Pole sessions getting a pole for your home is a great way to progress! X Pole has the best reputation for home poles. They are tension mounted, easy to put up and extremely sturdy and safe. We recommend, like Danceclub's poles,  a 45 mm, chrome pole. Click the link below to take a look and purchase your home pole!

What should I wear? 

Answer: Shorts, Booty shorts! …or anything that comes at least 2 inches above the knee. You need your skin to grab the pole and climb your way to ecstasy!

Should I wear lotion? 

Answer: NO! Big ol NO! Again, you need your skin to grip with and moistened legs will not help. It will also make the pole slippery for everyone else.

Is pole dancing a good workout, like so good I don't need to go to the gym? 

Answer: Pole dancing is an amazing workout!! It is our favorite workout, especially for your upper body and core! Plus it just happens to be about 200 million times more fun (for most).

Should I be intimidated or nervous about taking my first pole class? 

Answer: Absolutely not! Everyone that comes to their first pole class is in exactly your shoes, a complete beginner, trying something completely new, with no idea of what it's going to be like. It's good to try new things, especially in a fun, inviting community of people just like you!
