We receive many emails and phone calls looking for information on how to get started in learning the art of pole dancing. Due to the high volume of calls it is very difficult to answer/return calls. We created this page with hopes that we’re able to answer some of the many questions that are out there. Of course feel free to send us an email if you have any additional questions.
Pole Dance Charlotte is a fun, flirty and effective alternative dance and fitness studio. We cater to all women and are committed to teaching pole dancing not only in a fun and flirty way, but also in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment.
The instructors of Pole Dance Charlotte consist of full-time students and everyday women just like you! All have been certified and were hired based on their talent and passion for teaching the art of pole dancing. We are committed to making sure our students have FUN, are challenged and are able to meet their personal fitness goals. This is why so many women have dropped their traditional gym workouts and switched to Pole Dancing. It is truly a FUN way to get in shape!
Unfortunately, many consider pole dancing as taboo simply due to the fact that it originated out of the local strip clubs and that is very unfortunate. For those that choose to maintain this type of old-fashioned way of thinking, you are missing out on a great upper body and ab workout with a serious sensuous side, not to mention a fantastic way to lose weight and tone, while having fun.
Several of our current clients can tell you they have seen a significant difference in their bodies after just a few weeks!
FAQ:
What class should I start with first?
All non-members are welcome to try our 30 minute, $10.00 beginner pole sampler class. This class is offered at least four days a week and is available to all non-pole dance charlotte members no reservations are needed to attened. Please check our class calendar for dates and times.
What should I wear?
We like to suggest that you wear a pair of capri pants and a t-shirt. Most studios suggest shorts but unless you are used to the friction created of skin to pole it is safer to wear something that will cover a little past the knee and upper body.
If I like the sampler how do I join?
You can join the studio the same day. In fact we will credit the cost of your pole sampler class towards your monthly membership.
How many class can I take in a month?
Under our unlimited pay as you go membership you can take as many classes as your schedule can handle in a seven day work week. However we suggest that you come in no more than 3 times a week to avoid exhausting yourself, pole dancing is a lot of hard work!
Ladies beware!
As pole dancing becomes more popular it is important that you know which studio is right for you.
Please watch for the following signs of an unsafe studio.
* How many students to teacher ratio?
Let's be honest can one instructor watch more than eight students at a time? The answer is no. For safety reasons there should be no more than six students at a time to one teacher ratio.
* Who certified your instructor to teach poledancing?
Everyone that can dance on a pole is not necessarily the best
teacher. Make sure that your instructor has some sort of hands on certification, and check how long it took them to become certified. If your instructor can not tell you why you are unsuccesful in learning certain moves, it is probably because they have not been teaching long enough to know why. Additional instruction in some other form of dance is helpful.

Kelly,
I can't thank you enough for the sampler class you taught this morning. My best friends and I had a ball! We were looking for something to help us break out of our comfort zones. Pole Dance Charlotte was just what the doctor ordered. We're all Christians, moms, and professional women and we are reserved, conservative, and bored, to be honest. Though my friends were excited about my invitation to come to PDC, they were hesitant. But, we all felt different afterwards. I noticed that we all walked a bit taller! It was obvious that we are in love with ourselves. Thanks! I'll be back.

Kelly,
I want to thank you so much for the class this past Friday. I enjoyed myself so much, and was able to work muscles that I don't believe I have EVER worked before. Even though I hit my treadmill everyday, my body was still feeling the pain of the pole. You will be seeing much more of me once I return to town! Thanks again, and keep up the GREAT work!
