I've been pole dancing for about 5 years now, and taking lessons at Studio Verve for the last 18 months. I can honestly say that pole dancing has changed my life - I'm fitter than I've ever been, have so much more upper body strength and achieved things I'd never thought possible. Studio Verve is a really great place to learn pole dancing too, with a strong emphasis on fitness to ensure you're in the best possible shape to make the most out of your classes. A typical lesson usually consists of warm up and stretching, some strengthening work and of course learning some tricks on the pole. There's a great atmosphere - the instructors are really friendly and eager to help you reach your goals, there's a real sense of comraderie with the other students and attire is casual - just shorts and a singlet. I would highly recommend Studio a Verve to anyone who wants to try pole dancing, and anyone who generally just wants to get fit and have fun at the same time
