A mix of aerial acrobatics and strength training

At first glance, dancing on a pole may not look like a very difficult exercise as most pole dancers perform it with lightness and grace.

However, in reality, not anyone can dance on a pole. This exercise requires a lot of agility and physical strength as well as good technique.

In most cases, students need to take numerous classes before performing their first aerial dance on a pole and then practice every week to maintain their bodies in good shape. That makes pole dancing not only interesting to professional aerial acrobats but also to ordinary people willing to boost their level of physical fitness in the long term.

As a result, pole dance classes are offered in numerous gyms all across Australia and pole dance instructors offer private support.

In a pole dance course, students can learn complex aerial feats that are quite impressive and challenging for the body and boost their strength with fun and in little time.

Can you practice pole dancing at home?

The main piece of equipment students need for pole dancing is obviously a pole. That may seem obvious but you shouldn't take it lightly. If the pole you are using is not strong enough, it can be dangerous to climb or practice aerial stunts on it because you risk falling.

As a consequence, it is recommended that you either practise pole dancing in class or have a pole installed at your home by professionals.

You will not have to worry about your safety in that case and can do exercises of any level of difficulty to improve the strength of your body.

Why is pole dancing good for our fitness?

A major drawback of numerous fitness exercises, like running, is that they centre on certain muscles while not working others. As a result, students need to combine them with other exercises for balanced fitness exercises in the long term.

That does not apply to pole dancing, which offers a great workout for the whole body. You will use your arms, legs and abdominals to hold on to the pole and spin around it in different postures without falling.

The advantage of pole dance exercises in class in a studio is that your fitness instructor can select to most effective and well-balanced exercises for your muscles, so your level of skills and fitness can steadily rise as you advance in the course.

What's more, students who train in class can be sure of doing the exercises correctly and getting the maximum benefits for their strength from each exercise of the course.

Where to take pole dance classes?

As pole dancing students need a pole for practice, it can be a good idea for them to join a gym or a pole-dancing studio where they can get access to the necessary equipment and take classes at the same time.

A studio is likely to have courses for different levels of students, so you can work on the tricks that are neither too easy nor too advanced for you and have fun.

You can get in-class practice one or several times a week to improve your level of fitness and technique even faster.

However, courses in a studio are not the only option for pole dance students as they can also have a pole installed at home (given that they take the necessary safety precautions). This will give them more flexibility as they can work on tricks at any time during the week and they can take classes with private instructors to keep learning the right way.
