We recommend a leotard and shorts/leggings for girls and a tight fitted vest for boys as it ensures your child is covered at all times, when they go upside down their t-shirts tend to fly over their heads or come up which makes it a bit tricky for them to see, and also when we are spotting them it’s much easier if they have leotards/vests on. They are welcome to wear t-shirts over the top of leotards too.

We also highly recommend either wearing leggings over the top for layering and to protect the legs in other aerial or leg warmers, as these can be pulled up over the knees when we do hoop. We all (adults included) find hoop hard on the backs of the knees so this really does help. You can find our uniform and place an order HERE.

Our aerial and pole school is open to everyone, our group womens PT sessions are women only. We find that the classes tend to attract more women in general, so you may find your classes are filled with mostly women however we always welcome anyone who would like to attend and give pole a go!

Bungee: Comfortable sports wear, bring a clean pair of trainers to change in to when you get to the studio with good grip that have not been worn outdoors since being cleaned. 

Pole Fitness: If you are coming to a pole taster class, leggings and a sports top will be suitable. Depending on how long people have been training for will depend on what they are wearing. You tend to find the longer people have been pole training the shorter their shorts become as it makes it easier to grip when you have more skin to grip to the pole. Wear what you feel comfortable in, but be aware that you will need to be able to grip on to the pole so having shorts is really essential. You can also buy leggings that will stick to the pole and use these for some classes if you are uncomfortable with your legs out, or if it’s a colder month. We recommend wearing comfortable short shorts and a crop top with a t-shirt over the top. Layer up for the start of class and as you get warmer and start with pole you will find you will feel more comfortable taking off your layers. 

Aerial Hoop – wear leggings/joggers and a comfortable sports bra and sports t-shirt.

Pole Fitness – beginners wear leggings/joggers and a comfortable sports bra and sports t-shirt, have shorts on hand at all times. Intermediate/Mixed level lessons wear short shorts and a well fitted sports bra as you’ll need your skin to grip on the pole. You can also buy leggings that will stick to the pole and use these for some classes if you are uncomfortable with your legs out. We recommend wearing comfortable short shorts and a crop top with a t-shirt over the top. Layer up for the start of class and as you get warmer and start with pole you will find you will feel more comfortable taking off your layers. 

Sling/Hammock – always make sure you have your arm pits covered with a t-shirt and leggings or shorts.

Yes. Our adults classes are currently open for 16+. We also have specific kids classes that you can book tasters for HERE.

99% of people on the beginners courses will be new to pole. The 1% that are not new will not have done pole classes for years and will be back at the start too so you should feel comfortable and you will be going on a journey with everyone in your class at the same time. We are all in this together and our instructors are here to support you. When you join a pole community it’s like nothing else, it’s supportive, friendly and everyone wants to help everyone.

Our main classes are static pole, however all of our poles spin and you are welcome to put your pole on spin in any of our classes. Some sessions our instructors will encourage you to put your pole on spin, and in others you can request spin pole.

Yes! All of our classes are aimed at supporting you to have fun first, and feel empowered and then as a result of that you get an amazing workout that supports you to tone up and get fit.

No. You don’t have to be flexible to start. We will work on flexibility as part of our classes and have extra support around classes and online to help you. Some people are naturally more flexible than others so never think because others are more flexible than you that they can do more, this is not the case.

No. Although it is helpful to be strong already, it’s not essential. Strength doesn’t always transfer the same as it does in the gym to the pole. The classes will help you to become stronger as soon as you start so you may notice you feel sore after classes just like when you go to the gym. You should look after your body just as you would if you were lifting weights at the gym ensuring you are eating well and drinking plenty of water as this will assist with muscle recovery after sessions.

Anyone can start pole classes and progress on the joinery to become fitter. Everyone progresses at a different rate so it’s important not to compare to others in the class as we are all different and individual. You will become fit during the classes and it’s important to look after yourself and ensure you are eating well and drinking plenty of water whilst training as it is like a full body work out.

If you have any injuries or reasons you think you may not be fit enough to start it is important to speak to your instructor. You can speak to them privately too if you don’t want to discuss things with the full class. Your instructor can adapt the class for your needs if there is something you may feel may impact your abilities or if you have any injuries.

Yes. Doing aerial fitness is doing a full body work out, so you may be sore afterwards because you are working your body and muscles. Make sure you are looking after your body and eating well and drinking plenty of water, just as you would if you were going to the gym. As time goes on and you continue to use the muscles the pain will lesson, we will also do strengthening and conditioning exercises in classes which will help you get stronger quicker and reduce the pain faster as you will be using the muscles a lot more. 

It will also hurt when you progress through classes where the skin will contact with the equipment which can cause a feeling a bit like a ‘Chinese burn’ and this can also cause bruising. As you continue your aerial fitness journey you will find it gets easier.

When you first start classes it can be more of a challenge for some as it is for others. People progress in different ways and because of this it’s important not to compare your progress to others. Someone may progress in their strength in arms for example while another person may progress in the way they grip or in their leg strength. Another example is that one person may progress quicker in the confidence they feel, whilst another person may progress quicker in their arm strength. It’s so varied.

It’s important to think about what you want from the classes and as your aerial fitness journey starts and progresses you’ll be able to pick classes that will support you the most with your pole goals.

Classes are up to 12/14 people, although may be a bit larger or smaller depending on the class and demand. We always allow for up to 2 people to a piece of equiptment. If you prefer you can book one to one or smaller group private sessions. Email the team hello@wilddancefitness.uk if you’d like to book.

Yes they will. It does take time and can be frustrating because your brain knows what it needs to do but your body can’t yet do it but it will come in time and we will ensure we have classes to assist you to train from the start and then also train and practice around classes too to build it up quicker.

When you first start your aerial fitness journey you will be learning spins that you do as you are standing so it is unlikely you will fall due to the way your body is already positioned. Learning these standing spins will also support you to build and grow your strength, especially in your arms and upper body. As you progress in your pole journey you will also begin to learn how to go upside down, but only when you are ready. You will have an instructor supporting you and also have the option to have ‘spotting’. This means that your instructor who is trained in spotting will be on hand in case you feel like you may fall. There will also be mats that you will use underneath the poles so if you do fall you will have a soft landing.
