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 […]
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 […]
You have all of heard of pole dancing… You probably have heard of silks, but have you heard of pole fabrics? There are a few different names for the combination of pole dancing and silks – pole silks, pole fabrics and I’m sure there’s a few more. For the purpose of this article, I shall […]
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. […]

I suppose in someways, there still isn’t. Levels can vary hugely from school to school; some schools only have 4 levels, whereas I’ve […]
Just the other day I was half way through one of my dance classes and did a rather grueling core workout. I know how important it is to have a strong core and how good it feels to give it a real good workout. After the track, one of the girls turned to me and […]
Do you all know which level you are at in pole dancing? Are there more levels than beginners, intermediates and professional? Maybe some mixed-levels? I Really Don’t Know At first I thought it’s easy to classify. Beginners just started pole dancing and are lucky being able to invert. Intermediates are kinda familiar with the pole, […]
For a while now I’ve been telling anyone who will listen about my new pole studio 🙂 And by that I mean that I have a spare room in my new house where I have put my pole up. I spend so much time there that I thought it was about time to let everyone […]
