At The Pole Room we don’t focus on counting repetitions and sets. We focus on learning new tricks, combinations and routines. In all of our classes, the workout is the by-product of learning a fun new skill in a supportive environment.
This page is for you if you’ve been thinking about starting pole at any of our in-studio locations – Kilsyth, Mitcham, CBD & Highett. We don’t expect you to start with any level of fitness or prior knowledge of pole dancing.
No matter your past experience or background, you will be surprised at how quickly our pole program will improve your abilities. To get started simply complete the application form and schedule a call.

Self Love
Pole dancing teaches you to appreciate what your body is capable of and in turn, push you to take care of your physical and mental well-being.
Community
Surround yourself with an inspired community of women all uplifting each other towards being the best version of themselves.
Skill Based
In our classes burning calories isn’t the aim – it’s the by-product of learning a new skill in a fun and supportive environment.
Learn a routine, stretch towards your splits and break a sweat across a range of alternative fitness classes. Here’s a break down of each category of classes that you’ll find on our schedule.
Note: Each studio runs their own schedule based on the industry trends and what’s in demand at the studio.
Our dance based classes are all about fun and fitness. They include on and off the pole, as well as Floorwork style classes. Set to music and based on a variety of dance styles, these are a great way to kick up your heels and get the heart pumping.
Pole dancing is less about counting reps and sets and more about counting tricks! Our tricks classes will teach you all of the current and trending tricks. We’ll teach you how to move into a trick, safely exit a trick and then put it together into a combination. Our classes are progressive so each class you will build on skills learnt in the previous week
Our conditioning classes complement your Pole training by working on your strength, flexibility and stamina. Do you dream of doing the splits or want to challenge yourself to go upside down into a handstand? Our Conditioning classes are a great place to work on any areas of improvement.
Our team brings incredible energy, training, enthusiasm, and charisma to your class experience. Each instructor is equal parts educator, inspirer, motivator, DJ, and friend.
When you join us you’ll get access to an amazing portal of pre-recorded content. In addition to taking in-studio classes, you’ll also be able to access class recordings, trick tutorials and how to videos – when you want, where you want, and on your terms. It’s updated regularly so there’s always something new to try!
Get your daily dose of inspo and keep the fire burning within 🔥🔥 by joining our events, challenges and competitions. Our community is strong and supportive so you’ll always be learning and growing as a poler.
“The Pole Room’s Pole Fitness program is an addiction. The more you practise the better you become, and the better you become, the more you want to challenge yourself. The best part is that you don’t even realise you’re working out until you look in the mirror and see that your body has transformed right in front of your eyes.”
“What surprised me the most was how much I loved the conditioning classes. I’ve never been one to do strength classes, but the 45 min length and the set-based format made it feel achievable, and my goodness, I’ve seen so many improvements! Not only does my body look more toned, but my straddle invert is feeling cleaner and I’ve even smashed out a few on my dork side. I want to keep getting stronger!”
“I love all classes, especially the Flexibility classes, I’m much closer to mastering a split now. And the 90’s Aerobic class with Ashley is always awesome!”
“Lyrical is my favourite class because the instructor is so inspirational and really helped me to be confident with my dancing and my own freestyle. I loved putting emotion into the dances too and the choreography is always beautiful!”
“Splits Masterclasses are amazing! After quitting gymnastics 16 years ago after tearing both my hamstrings this class has helped me slowly gain some flexibility back!”
“I have to say I’m particularly fond of KP’s Lyrical Flow! Doing this class gives me the chance to try this style, dance my heart out and have a good laugh. KP really makes the classes with her kind and funny nature and leaves me hanging for the next instalment! Seeing my progress week by week is sooo fulfilling… THANK-YOU! Xxx”

This is not a sales call
If you’re committed to achieving maximum results and looking to become a pole or aerial superstar in the shortest amount of time possible ,then we recommend a minimum of three classes per week. This should comprise of at least one tricks based class, one conditioning class and one dance based class. Pole and aerial are skills-based and therefore require dedication and consistency, which is why we also have practice times available.
As a student of The Pole Room, there are some expectations that can contribute to a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. Here’s what is generally expected of you:
Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and pole dancing is a journey of self-discovery and growth. The most important expectation is to enjoy the process and have fun while learning and challenging yourself. With dedication and passion, you’ll see yourself flourish as a pole dance student.
If you are considered high risk by your health practitioner, we recommend seeking advice before joining.
If you are an existing student at The Pole Room, you must notify your instructor as soon as you are aware you are pregnant.
If you are returning to pole after having a baby, speak to your instructor, but it’s advisable to train safely and return to a lower level class whilst you’re building your strength and re-conditioning your body.
Depending on the injury and how long you have sustained the injury, we may require approval from your doctor to confirm you are fit to participate in our classes.
Each studio location has its own schedule, instructor and unique vibe. If you’re on a membership at CBD, Mitcham or Kilsyth you can use your classes across all these company owned locations. If you’re a Highett member or purchased a package for Highett you are unable to move across studios.
Across all of our studios, multiples of each class are run at different times and days throughout the week. If you can’t make class on a particular night, check the timetable and you will find the same class at a different day or time giving you a second opportunity to book in that week.
Having trouble making your preferred classes each week? Speak directly to our staff about what’s best to do. We are open to taking requests as our timetable is dynamic and can change based on our members requests.
Not everyone has the same fitness ambitions. Thankfully the variety of classes offered give you the opportunity to focus on one or more types of outcome.
For Strength & Stamina: Try our Trick classes that will get your muscles working in overdrive!
For Flexibility: Try our Flexibility classes that will get your body primed for movement!
For Body Conditioning: Try our Dance classes that will get your heart rate up and body dripping in sweat!
Absolutely! When joining you are not expected to have any prior fitness or dance background. Our job is to teach you and help you improve over the journey.
A good rule of thumb for Pole is the more skin you show, the more grip you’ll have on the pole.
Even as a beginner you will be using your thighs, knees, calves and ankles to hug the pole, so short shorts are a must for the best possible grip. For your upper body a short sleeved shirt or singlet is best. As you become more of an advanced poler and move through the levels, a sports bra or crop top will help to expose the skin on your elbows, underarms, back and midriff. To get the most from each session avoid using moisturiser / oils and remove all jewellery.
Lyra (also known as aerial hoop or ring) is a steel ring suspended from the ceiling by secure rigging. It’s usually wrapped in grip tape and you can perform amazing acrobatics on it! Lyra and silks are quite the opposite of pole in the sense that it’s easier fully clothed. A tight pair of leggings and a tight fitting shirt.
Hydration is important so always bring a water bottle! We have taps in the studios to refill.
Sweaty hands are the arch-nemesis of a pole dancer, bring along a hand towel and grip which can be purchased from studios! Knee pads are essential to have on hand. There’s a high chance you’ll get hot and sweaty in class so bring a light change of clothes if needed.
Heels are typically worn only in our Pole Dance or Floorwork classes. Check the class description to see if heels are recommended. In some cases students will opt not to wear them and that’s totally fine!
For our Pole program, you must be at least 16 years old and have parental consent if you are under the age of 18.
For our Lyra or Aerials program we do not have an age restriction, however if you are 14 or younger you will require a guardian to be present during the class.
We have locations across Melbourne including CBD, Mitcham, Highett and Kilsyth.
