Sure, we have programs & tutorials that will get you started! Try out Exotic Pole Foundations & Floorwork Foundations (the second one does not require shoes!). No previous experience is necessary.
All our tutorials are pre-recorded, high-quality videos with a clear structure that you can access anytime. Our unique post-production style—featuring handy graphics, multiple camera angles, detailed recaps, and chapter markers—makes learning online as easy and effective as possible.
We offer different types of lessons to suit your needs:
Technique Focus – In-depth breakdowns of individual tricks or moves, covering key details, progressions and common mistakes.
Combos – sequences of moves that help you expand your dance vocabulary and develop seamless flow. These lessons focus on transitions, execution, and technique and help you connect movements smoothly and dance with confidence.
Choreographies – with a stronger emphasis on musicality, execution & expression. These assume a foundational knowledge of moves, but our instructors provide progressions and regressions to make them accessible for different skill levels.
Workouts – Follow-along sessions for warm-ups, cool-downs, and stretching. These guided practices help enhance mobility, prevent injuries, and support overall recovery, ensuring you move and perform at your best.
Lectures – Theory-based lessons covering topics like choreography creation, music theory & musicality, competition preparation, shoe tips, anatomy, and more.
Of course, there are various dance tutorials: floorwork, strip, chair, frame up, theory & stretching routines in our courses where you don’t need a pole. There is also a handy filter that helps you find tutorials where a pole is not needed!
Unless your main goal is to learn pole dancing – then you will need access to a pole at some point 😉
The length of our videos varies:
Tutorials – Our lessons are thoughtfully crafted and precisely edited to deliver all the essential information without unnecessary pauses or fillers. Ranging from under 10 minutes up to 40 minutes, each tutorial is designed to be rewatched and practised at your own pace. The playback time doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual training time—these tutorials are for you to rewatch, refine, and practice at your own pace.
Guided Workouts – Follow-along sessions where the video duration matches the workout time. These include everything from quick 10-minute exercises, like footwork drills, warm ups or cooldowns, to longer stretching routines that can go beyond 60 minutes.
Since our platform is video-on-demand, you can adjust the playback speed to match your pace, replay sections as needed, and with the handy chapters feature, you can quickly jump to specific parts of the tutorial to rewatch or focus on areas that need more attention.
Having a pole at home would be an ideal scenario but yes, of course.
There are various dance tutorials & stretching routines in our courses where you don’t need a pole. There is also a handy filter that helps you find tutorials where a pole is not needed!
A lot of pole dancing studios are offering ‘open studio’ / ‘pole hire’ / ‘pole practice’ sessions where you can practice on your own. Check with your local pole dancing studio if you can practice between regular classes.
Also, watching tutorials at home before your practice session in the studio will help you understand the theory and progressions for particular tricks/moves and will benefit you.
Of course. You don’t need shoes to start pole dancing, you can train barefoot, However, if you want to buy a pair of pole dancing shoes, please make sure they are safe to use! What to consider when buying your first pair of pole dancing shoes HERE

However, you can easily enable this option in your settings, toggle on “open videos in a new tab.”
⚠️ Just a friendly reminder: don’t go too wild with too many tabs open at once — it can slow down your device’s performance.
