How Classes Work
FOUNDATIONS
Our core curriculum skills based classes are run in 8 week sessions. Classes meet two times per week in a linear progression. By enrolling, you are committing to attend 16 classes (make-ups are available if you need to miss class).
Your instructor will tell you when it's time to move up to the next series level.
CHOREO
Our Choreo classes are run in 8 week sessions. You will learn one choreo during the first 4 weeks and a second choreo during the second 4 weeks. Classes meet once per week and each class builds on what was taught the week prior. By enrolling, you are committing to attend 8 classes. Remember to check pre-requisites when signing up.
DROP-IN
PRACTICE
Our Drop-in classes are scheduled in 8 week sessions. There is no commitment to attend a single drop-in class. Remember to check prerequisites when signing up.
Our Practice classes are run in 8 week sessions. There is no commitment to attend. This is either an Open Pole (not an instructor led class) or a Pole Lab (instructor led practice or make up class).
Missed/Make up Classes
FOUNDATION & CHOREO SERIES
If you miss a series class (skills based or choreo) you can make up the missed class using one of the Practice classes --either an Open Pole class or a Pole Lab (taught by your instructor).
*Missed classes must be made up by the end of the current 8 week session.
DROP-IN &
PRACTICE CLASSES
All Drop-in and practice (open pole & pole lab) classes are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you cannot make it to a registered class, you must cancel the class online at least 4 hours prior to the start time to avoid being charged. No make-up classes permitted.
Which classes can I take as a returning/transfer student?
Foundations Series
Skills based foundation series range from level 101-303 and are for students who have already completed a previous 8 week series with us and have received instructor approval to move to the next level. If you are returning after a break or are new to our studio, you will need to meet with an instructor to test into the appropriate level.
Commitment: Class meets 2 x per week for 8 weeks.
Prerequisites: Instructor approval - please contact us at info@polehale.com to schedule an appointment for a skills assessment to test into a level.
Tips: Do not wear any oils or lotions on the day of class and please remove all jewelry. Wear shorts & sports bra or tank. Bring water!
Choreo Series
Choreo Classes are dance moves put together to music in a low to the ground flow. They circulate between heels, no heels, sneakers, socks, and varying levels of difficulty.
Commitment: Class meets 1 x per week for 8 weeks.

Drop-in Classes
Drop in classes range from taster classes (a 60 minute sampling of a series class) to mobility based classes (Yoga for Pole and Balance & Mobility) to Movement Sanctuary (prompted and intentional movements using heels, spin, or floorwork). Skills based curriculum not your thing? No problem! We've got something for EVERYONE.

Practice Classes
Practice classes are like study hall. A chance to work on and keep perfecting what you have learned in your series or drop-in classes. Open Pole is 60 minutes of self led pole time (unsupervised). Pole Lab is an instructor led class where you can work on things you have already learned that you need some extra help with. These can also be used as a make-up class if you miss a regularly scheduled series class.
