Welcome to our Classes, groups are kept small in numbers so you can receive individual attention with our experienced instructors.  Minimum of 4 and max of 8-12 people per group.

Usually with only 1 -2 people per pole so lot's of practice time- (many other schools have min 4+ per pole some much more!)
We have 6 poles in our spacious Barnstaple Studio, 4 poles in Ilfracombe & Bideford.

Classes run in a progressive format from Beginners to Advanced, as everyone does not progress at the same rate there is the option to stay at the same level till competent at the moves and strong enough to move up. We work with you at your pace and ability. Previous experience of dance or gymnastics is not required but those who do, will find they progress a lot quicker.

In classes we work on pole moves, tricks , transitions, dance, spins and learn routines. With opportunities to take part in showcases & competitions.
 Below is a showcase that our students performed at in Kent.

 

Generally class times /days will remain the same as you progress up, however if there is not enough people to continue then groups may either mix to become multi-level or there is the option of private lessons .

Price of lessons may vary depending on venue- please contact us for further details on your chosen venue 

Pole Affinity is a PDC approved pole dance school as as such you will have the option to do national syllabus gradings as set out by the PDC.

 

 Lesson Format
