WHY POLE OR AERIAL FOR FITNESS?

Pole and aerial fitness is a true full body workout, and is one of the best ways to reduce fat, build lean muscle, and get more flexible, all while having fun! Just take a look at the amazing physiques of our Dedicated Divas and instructors...pole and aerial fitness is a great way to achieve your fitness goals. Here are some of the fitness results you can expect to see after just 8 weeks at Pole & Aerial Divas!

Coordination & Balance

Pole & aerial fitness requires a lot of coordination and balance to control spins, pivots and lifts which will strengthen stabilising muscles throughout your body. Pole will have you walking in heels like a boss too!

ARMS, SHOULDERS & CHEST

Strengthen and tone your biceps, triceps and shoulders through lifts, hangs and spins. Many skills involve and push and pull motion which also works your chest muscles.

HIPS

Hip flexor strength is built quickly as you are lifting your legs to invert which engages your hip flexors, quads and core muscles.

Legs & Booty

Pole and aerials involves working your legs intensively through grips, lifts and extensions and the dancing aspect involves squats, kicks and grinds and more! Our dance based classes consist of squats, leg kicks, grinds and much work - your body is constantly moving! You may notice increased strength in your quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves, along with better leg control and more defined muscle tone.

MIND

Increase your confidence, feel better in your own skin, and you might even feel sexier too! Most students don't even realise the increased well-being of their mind and soul after attending classes - positive vibes only! Being surrounded by a supportive community, making friends and feeling more empowered are just some of the qualities that being a part of a studio brings and this is just the cherry on top of increasing your overall fitness.

Heart

Burn fat by dancing your cardio! An intense 2 minutes of pole/aerials can be compared to 2 minutes in the boxing ring for your cardio fitness. Even dancing on the ground works up a sweat and gets your heart racing.

Back

Back strength improves from lifting your body weight from when your first manage to get your feet off the ground up building up to executing impressive spins and aerial tricks.

ABS & CORE

Every time you lift your body off the ground you need to engage your core to maintain control, greatly improving your core strength. Pole dancers are known for their impressive mid sections!

Flexibility

See increased flexibility throughout your whole body as stretching is a part of every class.

POLE & AERIAL Courses

Our courses run for 1 hour per week over an 8 week period. These classes are designed to teach new lyra, silks or pole skills with a focus on tricks, strength, flexibility, and dance. Courses are divided into different levels from beginner to elite, so you will be placed in a course with other girls at a similar level to you. The courses are designed to build on skills throughout the term, allowing students to move up to the next level when they are ready. Pole beginner course students can start any time within the term, but if you're wanting to start silks or lyra you will have to book in by at least Week 2 due to safety of our students.

What’s The Difference?

Static Vs. Spin Pole

You may have noticed - some poles are static, while other poles spin. All of our poles can be adjusted between static and spin, depending on the class and your preference. Static poles are fixed and don't move, whereas spin poles pivot around themselves, providing a great 360 degree view of any trick! Spin pole requires a bit more strength and control to ensure the pole doesn’t spin too fast! If you’re brand new to pole dancing, try both static and spin to see what you like best! If you are unsure, haven’t done fitness for awhile, or get dizzy easily, static pole can be a good place to start.

What's The Difference?

Lyra Vs. Silks

If you're new to the aerial world then you may have noticed that there is two apparatus available to learn. Silks is a hanging fabric and we teach silks with 2 pieces suspended from the ceiling. Where as lyra or aerial hoop is a circular steal apparatus also suspended from the ceiling. Both lyra and silks can be spinning, swinging or static.

What to wear

Here’s the low-down on clothes and shoes from Cherie, our Richmond studio manager!

What to wear for

Pole Class

We recommend a singlet or t-shirt and shorts. Bare skin helps you stick to the pole, so shorts are highly recommended. You have the option to take the class barefoot or wear heels. Heels aren’t required, but they’re great way to make your workout more fun and sexy but also keep you on your toes and tone those calves! Feel free to bring a pair of heels from home, or you can purchase some from our studio shops - members receive an ongoing 10% off pole dance heels called Pleasers.

What to wear for

Lyra Or Silks Class

It’s best to wear full length leggings and socks with a t-shirt or singlet. Please note that silks or lyra is only available at Richmond, Mornington or Caroline Springs.
