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 which poles to avoid if you actually want to be able to do any moves on them! While I can ensure that my students are safe...

Where I live, people know almost nothing about pole dancing. That’s why my dad nearly fainted when I told him I’d go to the pole dancing studio. He called me a stripper and wanted to lock me at home and never to let out this “shame of the family”. Fortunately, I was over 18 and nothing could stop me. Although I had seen several videos on YouTube and knew that pole dancing was a hard sport,...

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. Usually I get people saying that they like certain moves more than others, or students see...

“Last weekend I did my first pole dance performance. It was sort of a spur of the moment thing. 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 to perform…” Aerial Hoopla gives a few...

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 pole? I’ve been doing a good few hours of poling a day in an effort to keep up my skills...

I recently received some feedback on a performance I gave: Good tricks, strong personality, obviously having a ball up there, more complex chorey needed. Hmm. OK. So it looks like it’s time to face the fact that tricks will only get me so far and that if I want to put together a really good show I’m going to have to start focusing on the really hard stuff – dancing. Dancing Is The Hard Stuff Half...

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 time off of the pole for a good reason? You could be going on holiday, seeing family...
