Levels
Where do
you go next?
Two people can both call themselves beginners and need completely different classes. Here is what every level actually asks of you, so you can book the right one on the first try.
Start here, always
If you have never poled, you take Intro to Pole. Not Level 1 - even with years of dance, aerial or gymnastics behind you. The apparatus is its own skill.
01 - The pole track
Intro to Level 4
The main line of progression. Each level builds on the one before it, so there's no shortcut - and that's completely okay.
Intro to Pole
Level 0 · No prerequisite
Your first spins, getting comfortable holding your own weight, working toward a climb, and basic conditioning. Wear shorts - bare skin is what grips the pole. Barefoot or socks; you do not need heels for this.
Pole Level 1
After 2 Intro classes
Beginner climbs, spins, pole sits and your first combinations, with conditioning built in. This is where strength stops being the thing you worry about and starts being the thing you notice.
Pole Level 2
Prerequisite: Intro + Level 1
You should be able to: Climb, pole sit, hold basic spins.
You'll work on: Leg holds, points of contact, and working toward your first inverts.
Most people spend a while here. That is normal.
Pole Level 3
Prerequisite: Level 2
You should be able to: Climb, invert, and hold a leg hang.
You'll work on: Shoulder mount prep, advanced combinations, and tricks that take more than one class to land.
Pole Level 4
Prerequisite: Level 3
You should be able to: Aerial invert, shoulder mount, and link tricks confidently.
You'll work on: Technique, power, stamina, range and pole manipulation, on a rotating curriculum.
The most advanced regular level - and the least prescriptive.
02 - The spin track
Spinning pole is
its own ladder.
A spinning pole does not forgive momentum the way a static one does. It runs as a parallel track with its own numbering, so a solid Level 2 on static may still start at Spin Pole 1.
Spin Pole 1
Level 1–2
Getting comfortable with a pole that moves under you: controlled spins, timing, and staying oriented.
Spin Pole 2
Level 2–3
Climbs and transitions on spin, linking movements without fighting the rotation.
Spin Pole 3
Level 3–4
Inverts and advanced shapes on a spinning pole, where momentum is a tool rather than a problem.
Spin Pole Fluidity
Level 2+
Less about new tricks, more about making the ones you have look like they belong together.
03 - The other tracks
Not everything is a ladder
Plenty of what we teach has no prerequisite at all. If a class is not listed with a level, you can take it whenever you like.

04 - Still not sure
Ask us. Genuinely.
If you have poled somewhere else, or you are coming back after a long gap, email us and describe what you can do - climb, invert, shoulder mount, none of the above - and we will tell you which class to book.
Booking too high wastes your money and your afternoon. Booking one level too low costs you nothing at all.
