I could go on for ages about all the Pole studios in London at a paragraph each, but instead I’ll stick to a few details on the ones I know. I hear the same things from other people as well so it isn’t just me. Yes, London is expensive but the price came up as about £18 for ONE CLASS. What put me off was the course prices and prices of an individual class. They offer the standard classes of beginner to advanced along with special classes for choreography using pole. Rachel Tolzman also teaches here, along with Diane Croskin and Aleksandra Karolina. I was interested in Ecole before I moved as it’s well known, a lovely studio and runs master classes and special Easter weekend camps. LDA has a lot to offer and a wide variety of classes, Ive never attended courses or a regular weekly class there so I couldn’t say (I tend to jump in occasional classes when I can) but the instructors are great and they offer a whole load of membership options.Įcole has branches in Singapore, Ohio and Brisbane as well as London, I personally haven’t been there myself, I know others who have. Anna McDonnell is an LDA instructor and comes recommended by Hannah but I have not attended a class taught by her as of yet, she recently took home second place in PoleArt Spain.Īll in all it does the trick, the studios themselves have two decent sized ones but with short ceilings, and one tiny room which isn’t great to be honest but you make do. Ayesha Agogo is also an awesome instructor, and Lauren Elise teaches regularly at LDA and we all know her slinky talents. Pole instructors include Hannah Rose who is a sweetheart and sometimes covers at PFL as well, always worth going to her classes. It also uses studios in a couple of other places in the city. I mainly go there for the £8 per hour pole hire, but it has so many different types of classes and also offers aerial hoop, flexibility, contortion with the awesome Pixie Le Knot (which I highly recommend). The LDA is one you can find easily, it’s very well known with LOTS of classes and three rooms of studios. London Dance Academy – Old Street (and other studios) Very knowledgable and welcoming, and I may be biased, it’s true, but the elite course was exactly what I needed to improve and it’s the funniest and most ridiculous time of my week and I love it. Two studios – hoop and pole and whatever else they feel all goes with a whole lot of laughs. Not only do they have a top list of instructors including Sam King, Rachel Tolzman (current Miss Pole Dance UK), Rebecca Plume, Lauren King and main lass Angie Karavas, these guys have a wide range of classes with all instructors, flexibility, power pole and sexy classique – you can’t find better instructors. Also forewarning – several tens of others are probably out there, I’m just not aware of it! But there is a lot around, find the one that suits you. Everywhere is similar prices and instructors tend to teach at several studios.Īnywho, the point of this one is to create an easy list of studios and Circus places in London – some I have not been to, others I have visited and the rest I intend to attend at some point. Pole and aerial will always cost more due to the risk of the sport, high ceilings, near death drops – there’s a lot of danger involved. There’s a lot of Circus schools for me to choose from, obviously costs are an issue but in London you don’t have much of a choice. I did my fair share of research before moving, but I was biased in regards to pole as my friend Sam King owns a studio here, with an elite level class which is the exact level I need to progress and learn.Īerial arts like hoop, silks, trapeze and rope I definitely wanted to jump in on, including straps, which I hadn’t done before moving here. So since moving here, I wanted to find studios where I could train at and not break the bank! There are so many to choose from all across central, mostly in east and south London rather than up near me up north.
