Take it higher

More challenge, with technique at the centre.

You’ve built the foundations. Now it’s time to explore where they can take you.

Improver Pole is designed for students who feel confident with beginner fundamentals and are ready for more challenging tricks, transitions and upside-down movement.

You’ll build the strength and technique needed to invert safely, explore laybacks and leg-hook positions, and climb with greater control. Conditioning for the core, shoulders and upper body supports each new skill, while progressive variations help you work at a level that suits your experience.

As your confidence grows, you’ll begin working towards aerial inversions and connecting individual poses into smooth, flowing combinations.

Is this my level?

Join when you’re comfortable with basic spins, climbing and sitting on the pole. You don’t need to invert yet—we’ll help you work towards it safely.

What to wear

Skin grip matters

Wear shorts with a fitted top or sports bra so your legs, waist and arms can grip safely. Avoid body lotion on the day, and please remove jewellery before class.

What to bring

Water & grip aid

Bring water to stay hydrated and your preferred grip aid if you use one. Each class balances achievable skills that build your confidence with exciting challenges you can keep working towards.
