Nervous about beginning your pole journey? You can book our 121’s for speciliased instructor attention and limited class population.
TIP 1: If you’re sharing a pole, make sure to get the other person’s name! This could be your new lifetime friend and there’s nothing more awkward than being 6 months in and still not knowing their name! Everyone is super friendly!
TIP 2: Should you find your muscles aching, called DOM’s, use a foam roller or a tennis ball to roll out the muscle. This helps to remove any built up lactic acid in the muscle which causes the discomfort. A tennis ball is great for getting into any of those little niggly bits.
TIP 3: It’s always nice to provide a wee thank you to the instructor before leaving class, it’s also an opportunity should you have any questions or to provide any positive feedback.
TIP 4: Don’t copy what others are doing in class as it may be a mixed level class with people of all abilities, your instructor will provide level appropriate content for you. Never allow another student to teach you, we know the difference between reminders and helpful feedback and teaching!
TIP 5: If you have partaken in a flow or choreo class, it is always good etiquette to credit the original choreographer, particularly if you post it on the internet and it’s not okay to claim the choreo as your own original work. If you have taken elements, you can use ‘inspired by’ as way of providing credit.
TIP 6: At Juicy we acknowledge and support sex work and the strip clubs that gave us our artform. We actively encourage you to read about the history of pole and support sex workers and strippers. We deliberately don’t offer authentic stripper style classes unless it is being taught by a stripper. We will be more than happy to help point you in their direction should you wish to take their classes. Our biggest tip is to always be respectful of all, but particularly when it comes to acknowledging the roots of pole.
TIP 7: Do not believe the Instagram hashtags when they tag moves as beginner. These are heavily skewed for views and usually are not accurate. We have many beginners experiencing loss of motivation or panic due to seeing these tags, please do not take them seriously and speak to your instructor if you are concerned at all. We have a very deliberate, catered syllabus that allows you to build strength appropriately, learn correct muscle engagement and develop the skin resistance needed for more advanced tricks.
