10 Things to Know Before Coming to SkyPole. 

1. If you have questions about memberships, see our prices page.

​

2. ALWAYS read the class descriptions! It will give you info on what to wear/expect. Pole classes typically require shorts. The less clothing the better. DO NOT APPLY ANY LOTION/OIL THE DAY OF YOUR POLE CLASS! The pole sticks to dry/exposed skin. For non-pole classes like lyra hoop, aerial hammock, and floorwork yoga pants would be ideal. 

3. If you see a wait list and still want to come, get on the wait list! Wait list promotions are automatic. If you are on the wait list and next in line, you will be automatically promoted when someone cancels.  You will not lose your class pass if you aren't promoted to the class list; it will remain on your account. ​


4. You don't need to be in shape.
There are no weight limits, age maximums, or fitness requirements to attend our studio. Saying you need to "get in shape" before coming to pole class is like saying you need to lose weight before going to the gym, that doesn't make sense. Pole dancing is a workout and will help with weight loss, toning muscle, and increasing flexibility.  

5. You don't need a dance or fitness background. 
Pole dancing can be difficult at first, however, you are in class to learn and grow with each session. Not only are you learning a new sport, you are also learning to dance in a way you may not have before. Most students starting out in Freshman do not have a dance background. 

6. Most of the polers you see on social media are professionals who have been pole dancing a long time.

Famous Instagram polers are the 1% of pole dancers, not the majority. Do not go down that self-destructive road of comparing yourself to other polers you see on social media.  

7. You are not at SkyPole for anyone except YOU.
We all learn at our own pace. This is not a contest, and should not be treated as such. Our studio has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Encouraging the women around you is highly recommended, but your main focus needs to be on YOU. 
​
8. Pole is hard at first, but gets easier very quickly.
Just like EVERY SPORT OR NEW SKILL, you have to train to advance. No one walks into class and is magically great at pole dancing. Some will advance faster than others, and that's ok! It's about progress not perfection. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. 

9. It's not intimidating. Our instructors and students are very friendly and supportive.  Remember, most new students are just as nervous as you. Once the class starts you'll feel right at home. 

10. If you sign up for class, try your best to make it.
You can schedule future classes out as far as 20 days; however, if you sign up please make sure you can come to class. We know things happen, so you are able to cancel up to 12 hours prior to class start. After that, it's considered a late cancel. When you book a class, you are taking up a spot another student would have filled. Out of respect for the other students, frequent Late Cancels and/or No-Shows will result in additional fees or removal from classes all together.
