Pole dancing for fitness is a fun and unique sport; it combines acrobatics, dance and strength. You don’t need to have any previous experience; people from all walks of life have fallen in love with pole. Pole dance will help increase your confidence, flexibility, strength and fitness, in a strong friendly and supportive club. Classes are at a prestigious studio 5 minutes away from the campus, sessions are run various times throughout the week. We have mixed ability classes available to all and advanced classes that teach you individual moves. There are also workshops placed throughout the year which include routined classes (combines moves into a dance), stripper style, burlesque and doubles which allow you to create shapes with a dancing partner.
Once you sign up to the club you either get a free induction or lesson which are booked through our lovely studio owner Sam Remmer (sam@theartofdance.co.uk). Following on from this, lessons are then booked through the art of dance website (http://www.theartofdance.co.uk/), you will get a unique code which allows you to book lessons at a UPPDC discounted price.
Socials are held every week for the first few weeks of the year and then roughly every two weeks until the last term where they are held monthly. Socials are variety of nights out, meals and activities such as bowling or film nights, and a Christmas meal. Joint socials with other clubs are also organised!
Events include competitions such as South West University Pole Competition, and the Inter-University Pole Dance Competition. We also do a Christmas showcase and a Easter showcase for charity which gives our students the chance to perform.
