If the name hasn't given it away,
Poleography is basically a class that comprises of pole dance choreography. The purpose of the class is to explore pole dancing techniques rather than just learning pole 'tricks'. You also focus on musicality and emotion, which is key.
I've only attended two pole classes in my life, so I'm far from a pole pro. However, I found the class challenging and really fun. I went through the normal motions of being super nervous and self conscious at the beginning, I was even scared to take off my socks (I hate feet). But our instructor Coco was really welcoming and helpful. She broke the routine down into several stages, and went through each stage on numerous occasions, until everyone had the routine. She
is a pole pro.
What I liked most about the class was that it allowed me to learn how to move gracefully on the pole, which I never thought I'd be able to. I know this sounds cheesy but it brought out my 'inner sex Goddess' – I imagined I was Beyoncé in a music video working the pole! It was worth going just for that.
All the other class members felt the same as me. A bit shy and nervous to begin with, but it didn't take long to get into their element. This class is definitely a confidence booster and one I would recommend. Gymbox, we love your poles too!
Go on, if Gina can do it, so can you! Book in right
