FAQs

Do I need to be strong to take pole class?

Nope, absolutely not. It is by attending class that your strength will grow and you will be able to do more than you think. Pole MAKES you strong, you don’t have to be strong before you even start.

Do I need to be able to dance to do pole classes?

No dance experience is necessary for our Beginner friendly classes. These include: In Heels Baby, Static Styles, Flirty Pole and Foundations. Our Intermediate Pole Dance class requires more pole and dance experience. Please see our Pole Dancing page for more details.

How much are your classes?

Please see our Pricing Page for all class prices.

What do I wear to a pole class?

Wear a singlet and gym shorts or pants that you can roll above the knee. You’ll notice that most pole dancers wear tight shorts and crop tops – that’s because you require skin grip to do more advanced moves. As you progress you’ll get a feel for what clothes are right for you to wear in class.

Do I need to be flexible?

No, you will increase your flexibility during your classes.

What if I miss a class?

If you have cancelled within the 8 hour window then your class credit will remain on your account and you can use this on any class within your fortnightly payment period.

What is your Cancellation Policy?

We understand sometimes life can get busy and you can’t always make class. Studio Off Duty is a small, boutique studio and we have smaller classes to ensure a higher quality. If you cannot make your class, please cancel or reschedule via the website or Mindbody Booking System outside our 8 hour cancellation time frame. That way you will not forfeit your class.
