When we’re on the pole, we’re vulnerable enough as it is. Usually we’re in shorts and a little top, sometimes no shoes, and we’re often trying a move that we’re not that confident with. We all know what it’s like when someone walks past, distracts us by accident and we instantly lose our concentration and […]
When I first started taking pole dancing lessons, I was amazed by my instructor and everything that she did! She always wore amazing high heels, leg warmers, little skirts and was the perfect shape. I was always so inspired by her. Every move was performed with skill, grace and ease and I just wanted to […]
There is an increasing number of polers out there who now have there own pole at home. Weekly, I get asked my advice on which poles I would recommend to my students. I love to be able to share my knowledge of my favourite poles, where to get them, what is a good price… and […]

As an instructor or even working with a training partner, you get used to describing how to do moves. “Put your inside arm here, and your outside arm there.” Over the last few weeks or so I’ve been putting up some videos and pictures of my poling practice up on the usual social media accounts. […]

The pole studio I take classes in – PoleArt Studio in Warsaw – was organising a costume pole party, which featured a student showcase. I only found out about it one week before the event, but being adventurous, I jumped at the opportunity […]
We’ve probably all done it…! Leen Isabel perfectly depicts the moment when you accidentally attack your friend as they offer you a helping hand on the pole. The hazards of being a spotter 🙂
Over the last few weeks I’ve really stepped up the amount of poling that I do. I know that with exercise you’re supposed to give yourself a day off a week but sometimes with work, teaching and practice, that doesn’t seem to be possible. I do wonder if there’s such a thing as too much […]
We all hate it when we’re made to take time off the pole, whether it’s through injury, lack of time or any other reason that life throws at you. I usually get annoyed by myself and my situation and constantly feel frustrated that I’m unable to pole. But what about those times where you’re taking […]
Love this from Leen Isabel… “After years of pole dancing, I have completely forgotten that the REST of the world still exercises with their pants on. Yup. This happened! Sigh!”
