POLE DANCE ROOTS
Thursdays • 6:15pm
Roots is slow.
Indulgent.
Intentional.
This is where we soften into the movement and really feel it.
A perfect introduction to pole dancing if you’ve never tried it before. A beautiful refresher if you’re returning after a break. Or simply a space to move freely without pressure, comparison or rush.
We focus on pole dance foundations — gentle spins, transitions, body awareness and flow — building strength and confidence steadily, in a way that honours your body exactly as it is. We learn in a way that honours the true roots of pole, and our own bodies.
No prior experience needed.
No expectation to perform.
Just you, the pole and the freedom to explore.
Our classes are small and limited to two people per pole so you’ll not only get plenty of practice time, but you’ll also get lots of support from your instructor. Each persons learning journey is different, don’t be afraid to work a little before you get better. Everybody starts somewhere and I just know that you’ll walk away feeling accomplished every time you attend class.
No previous dance/ exercise experience necessary. Our classes will take you through everything you’ll ever need to know about safe and effective technique. It’ll be fun too!
Please wear something comfortable that you can move in and bring water. Socks/ barefoot/ cosy slippers are all acceptable in this class. Please remove rings and loose jewellery before entering the studio.
AERIAL HOOP CLASSES
Mondays • 8:30pm &
Thursdays • 7:30pm
Beginners welcome.
Ever wanted to run away with the circus? Well here’s your chance! It’s amazing how many sad things fall out once you get upside down. Don’t worry if you feel like you’ve got no upper body strength or coordination. This will come with time and Cherry will take good care of you. She’s got 15 years of aerial teaching experience under her belt and has taught thousands of students to fly through the air with grace, and a smile on their face! No experience necessary. Please wear something comfortable that you can move in that covers the backs of your knees. Any bare skin may be subject to abrasion during hoop transitions. It helps in the beginning to wear long socks or bring leg warmers to give the backs of your knees more protection. Please remove rings and loose jewellery before you enter the studio.
POLE DANCE ACENSION
Wednesdays • 6pm
This class is where things begin to rise.
Pole Dance Ascension is for dancers who already have some foundations and are ready to start building strength, confidence and flow higher up the pole. We work on climbs, seats, invert conditioning, stronger spins and beautiful transitions that start to link everything together.
It’s not about rushing tricks — it’s about developing control, connection and movement that feels powerful in your body.
A supportive space to grow, explore and keep evolving alongside a community that truly lifts each other up.
Please remove rings and loose jewellery before you enter the studio. Please check with Cherry before booking this class for the first time. We like to keep everyone safe and happy.
POLE TRICKS
Wednesdays • 7pm
Ready to level up your pole vocabulary?
Pole Tricks is where we break things down and build them back up stronger. This class focuses on technique, conditioning and exploring a wider range of pole tricks in a supportive, focused environment. Expect climbs, inversions, strength-building drills and plenty of time to refine the details that make everything feel smoother and more controlled.
It’s the perfect space for dancers who want to challenge themselves, deepen their understanding of technique and expand what they’re capable of on the pole — all while being cheered on by an incredible community.
Please remove rings and loose jewellery before you enter the studio. Please check with Cherry before booking this class for the first time. We like to keep everyone safe and happy.
POLE DANCE EVOLUTION
Mondays • 7:20pm
Mondays are for building, refining and evolving your pole practice.
In Pole Dance Evolution we explore the deeper layers of pole dance — linking technique, flow and musicality while developing stronger intermediate foundations. Expect spins into transitions, rotations, inverts and beautiful combinations that help everything feel more connected.
On the first Monday of every month we will be focusing on the foundational elements of spin pole — learning how to work with the pole’s momentum, finding control in the turns and discovering that delicious feeling of floating through your shapes.
If you’re ready to move beyond the basics and start weaving tricks into flowing sequences, this class is the perfect space to grow. As always, we work together, support each other and celebrate every little breakthrough along the way.
Please remove rings and loose jewellery before you enter the studio. Please check with Cherry before booking this class for the first time. We like to keep everyone safe and happy.
STRIPPER STYLE POLE DANCE
Wednesdays • 8pm
This class is all about vibe, intention and unapologetic expression.
Inspired by classic stripper style, we dim the lights, set the mood and explore movement that is sensual, grounded and deeply connected to the music. Expect slow burns, leg waves, body rolls, floorwork and those delicious in-between moments that make pole feel powerful and personal whilst honouring the roots of pole dace and your own body.
This is a space to experiment, embody your movement and let go of judgement. You don’t need to perform, impress or be anyone other than yourself. Just show up, feel the music and explore what movement wants to come out of you.
Heels are welcome but never required.
Raw. Real. Expressive.
A celebration of pole’s roots and the dancers who shaped it.
A celebration of your own body and sensuality.
Suitable for dancers who are comfortable moving around the pole and ready to explore style, feeling and musicality in a supportive, community-centred space.

On Demand Video Library
Stripper Style, Pole Flow, Yoga, Conditioning and flexibility from the comfort of your own home.
These tutorials are for all levels. There will be progressions and adaptations for each level so you can scale it back or jazz it up as you wish. You can do the classes in heels, or in socks. All the sequences will be adaptable for both. What ever your style, Cherry has you covered.
Cherry also has a wealth of yoga, flexibility, strengthening and conditioning videos that you can use to help you level up your pole and aerial game at home, even without any equipment. So you can compliment your in person training, in the comfort of your own home.
Are you stuck at home trying to find ways to connect the dots in pole? Want to dance but get writers block when the music starts? Would you like to improve your fluidity and exercise those linking muscles? On Demand is for you.
Cherry’s favourite thing to do is dance and freestyle. And with the short sequences & full classes that she has in her On Demand library, you’ll be able to do just that. You will work on new sequences that not only take you through the mechanics of each move, and how to perfect them, but also linking them so that you can take that sequence away, put it to any music you wish with your own personal style and be flowing in no time. You’ll have the building blocks for beautiful choreo’s that you’ll want to explore again and again. And the best bit? All the videos are available On Demand, so you can dip in and out of your favourite sequences or take the class in your own time, any time.
