Pole Fit

Arriving

Please arrive to class on time. Our main priority is our students' safety, and giving them the most enjoyable experience, whilst also giving them the most amount of pole time possible.

We cannot permit someone to attend the class if any of the warm up has been missed. If it is not completed, there is a high risk of injury as our warms up are designed specially to mobilise the body and joints. The instructor taking the session will not be insured to teach you.

 

Cancellation policy
If you wish to cancel your class we require a minimum of 24 hours notice, before class starts, to ensure the full payment is refunded to you. This applies to all of our classes. After the 24 hour mark classes cannot be refunded, exchanged or passed on. 
If you are going away on holiday etc, we can put your membership on hold. Please contact us and we can do this for you.

 

Can I attend pole dancing classes during pregnancy? 

​No, we do not teach anyone at any stage in the pregnancy as the risk is too high. For more details on pole dancing and pregnancy please contact us: brighton@bluelagooncentres.com

 

What do I wear?

Wears something that you feel comfortable in that does not restrict movement. Gym clothes are fine. You do not need to wear shorts, especially for your first few lessons, however exposing skin on the legs and arms allows you to grip onto the pole.

 

In Heels and Choreo we recommend wearing knee pads and suggest bringing socks/leggings as it can involve a lot of floorwork. Only pole specific platform shoes must be worn in heels classes, going out shoes will not be permitted. You can purchase these through sites such as polejunkie.com and hellaheels.com

 

What not to wear

Do not apply oils or lotions to the skin at least 24hrs prior to attending class as this can affect grip! This also includes tanning lotions, moistures, and do be mindful of oil in the hair as this can transfer to the skin.

 

What to bring

Water and yourself!

 

Provided by us

We supply liquid chalk for you at the studio, if you need it. However, there are lots of different grips to try so please feel free to ask your instructor which one they recommend for you!
We supply cleaning sprays and pole towels. Poles must be cleaned at the start and end of each class.

We always offer variations throughout all of our classes, and cater the moves around each individual. You will find your strength, flexibility and stamina will improve the more you practice pole. It is an amazing way to gain strength, confidence and mobility. Plus great friends with the same passion in life.
