Pole fitness obviously includes a lot of bending and requires more flexibility the more advanced you get in pole dancing. We always, always ensure our students are warmed up thoroughly to prevent injury, but stretching exercises and working on your flexibility can help with that and make certain moves easier.

We wanted to offer you a tailor made stretching workout, specifically for flexibility for pole dancing, so you can reach your moves quicker and safer!

Is a Male Pole Dance Teacher Right For Me?

Going to a new dance class or any fitness workout class can be scary! At Pole Sport London, we always want you to feel comfortable and welcomed – which is one of the reasons why we’re thrilled to have our new pole dance teacher Julien Roussel on board!

Julien is an understanding and approachable teacher, with a passion for dance teaching and pole dance. With a background in ballet and contemporary dance, Julien will be able to help beginners learn the basics of pole dancing and will encourage and support intermediate or advanced pole dancing students take their pole technique to the next level.
