Pole dancing (3)

Pole dancing is a movement discipline that combines dance, strength and flexibility around and on a vertical pole. A beginner's class usually teaches the grip on the pole, simple spins and first climbs and the smooth movement between them, before moving on to more complex figures.

A pole dancing coach teaches group classes or private lessons in a studio. In a group, company and a fixed timetable help you progress, while a private lesson gives time to refine individual elements and adapts to your pace. Studios often have separate classes for beginners and advanced students.

When choosing a pole dancing studio, ask whether the classes use spinning or static poles and what to wear, since short clothing helps you grip the pole. Pole dancing in Tallinn and other cities can also be started with a trial class, so ask whether the studio offers one.
