If you’re thinking about starting out to practice dancing, this article is for you!
A special content about pole dancing for beginners.
Pole dancing not only improves your physical shape, but also boosts your self-esteem and confidence.
Here, we’ll share six essential tips for pole dance beginners, helping you get off on the right foot!
So, shall we?
1. Choose where to start
You have two options to start learning pole dance:
- Studio classes;
- At home, with your own pole and online classes.
To find a physical space, our tip is to look for studios near you or your workplace (wherever is best) by typing “pole dance” into Google Maps. Book a trial class to get to know the space, timetable, teachers and teaching methodology.
And if it doesn’t fit into your budget, don’t give up! We have dozens of pole dance pole options with prices starting at $279. This way, you can learn from home by taking online classes. Just don’t give up, okay?
2. Suitable training clothes
The choice of outfit is essential for practicing pole dance comfortably and safely. Opt for clothes that allow freedom of movement and leave your armpits, waist and knees out.
Tops and shorts are the best options.
No wonder you always see pole dancers wearing “little clothes”, as it’s essential to have skin contact with the bar in order to gain the “locks”.
However, if you feel better, go with a tank top for the first class, until you feel comfortable wearing a top.
Important: to avoid slipping on the pole, we recommend using the ULTRAGRIP gel, which provides optimal grip.
3. Find your style
Pole dance is a versatile practice that can be adapted to different styles and personal preferences: from sensual pole to sporty pole.
Try out different types of music and movements until you find the one that suits you best. This will make the practice more enjoyable and motivating!
4. Don’t be ashamed of making mistakes
Mistakes are part of learning! Don’t worry if you can’t execute a movement the first time. Every start is like that, and each person has their own rhythm. So never compare yourself to others.
Always compare yourself only with yourself!!! The important thing is to practice and persist. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve.
5. Start with basic postures
Before trying advanced moves, it’s important to master the basic postures of pole dance.
Movements such as the fireman spin for the spinning pole and the chair for the static pole are great starting points for developing strength and technique. Pole dance is divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced (some studios use a different nomenclature). So take it easy, you’ll get there!

6. Remember to take off your jewelry before training
Any kind of accessory you have on your body can get in the way of practicing pole dance! To avoid accidents and damage, remove rings, chains, bracelets and anklets before you start. As well as protecting your accessories, this also prevents you from injuring yourself or damaging the pole.

How do pole dancers’ bodies look?
Over time, pole dancers may notice changes in their bodies. After all, this is an activity that involves a lot of muscle strength and flexibility.
Because of this, regular practitioners tend to have stronger, more toned muscles, as well as a positive change in posture, as the movements provide greater body amplitude and flexibility.
Who can’t do pole dance?
Practically anyone can take a pole dance class. However, it is not recommended in some cases, such as for people with back problems or labyrinthitis, as the pole movements could aggravate these conditions.
Therefore, it is important to have a professional assess you before you start pole dancing, and always respect your body’s limits.
