Top 20 Best Pole dance studio near me in London

“I took beginners course and then followed up with a month of advanced classes back in the summer. Alex is a great teacher with a sense of humour, very charismatic, fun and clear with her instructions. She does give challenging moves even to the beginners and pushes you to your limits, especially if you go into it not very fit/strong/bendy, which is great if you want to challenge yourself or get into shape. It's a shame I had to stop taking her lessons, I would have carried on if I didn't move to the other side of London.”

“New,beautiful studio,amazing atmosphere and teachers.It is the perfect exercise to loose weight,tone up but mostly increase your confidence and find new friends. I highly recommend this studio!”

“I've gone to Akila Pole Studio since September of last year, and I couldn't imagine doing pole anywhere else. The community of people there are incredible. Every instructor is amazing. Akila has curated such a wholesome beautiful community of people and I view the studio as a second home.”

“As one of Google's local guides, I must say that I am really glad that I came across Iris pole's ad on Instagram. This has completely changed my perspective on how to train efficiently and smart. As someone who has never had any experience in any sort of dance or specific sports, pole became a passion rather than just a routine work out for me. But this could not have happen without the support of all the instructors in Iris studio. Firstly, the place is very convenient to reach, 2 mins away from Kilburn and 3 mins away from Brondsbury stations. It is only for women which is a plus for me personally. Great, clean and decent size changing room with racks to store your belongings safely ( this is a big plus as some other studios that I have gone, do not have this facility). They provide you with yoga blocks and mats so you don't have to carry yours. Trainees get to have one pole per person for the whole session and you are not sharing the pole with others. This ensures that you are getting the most out of your work out and of course hygiene wise it is far better and safer. They also make sure that all equipment are sanitised before the next session starts. One thing I noticed and loved about this place is that for all the new joiners, Marina or any other instructors greet the newbies, guide them around the studio and ask about about any previous experience or injuries. I have not seen this level of care in other places which puts them higher than any other average studio in London. The trainings that they give you very much depends on your level of experience. Even the combos have modifications for the less experienced individuals. So if you are a newbie, you will be given easier moves and if you are experienced you will be given challenges. However, they do not push you or make you do anything that you do not feel confidant or comfortable with. Their level of customer care is beyond what I was expecting. When I came down with Covid, I could not attend few sessions, of course I cancelled within the allowed timing (3 but what stood out for me was that they extended my membership without even having me asking for it. This was an issue with Exotica studio where they refused to provide any sort of solution for my cancelation whilst I was in self isolation. Be aware that classes get booked very quickly as they are in high demand so you've got to reserve your spot very fast before it gets fully booked, I have missed my chance few times as I was busy with other things. So if you want to book a class for the end of the week best is to do it at beginning of the week as by mid week it will be already fully booked. My advice for this studio is keep up the excellent work and service. You guys are all stars.”

“We organised a pole dancing workshop for a hen party and whilst the group was a little nervous of what to expect, the level and teacher were spot on and we all had so much fun and felt really good afterwards.”

“One of the best pole studios I've had the pleasure of trying. I live and train in NYC and got to come to 2 Exotica classes while on holiday in London, and let me tell you... I would move to this city just for this studio. The teachers are so wonderful and invested in our success. The space is open and bright. We all get our own pole too, which is a training game changer. Thank you, Exotica! I will definitely be back!”

“Love coming to the aerial yoga class here, good mix of stretching, exercise and relaxation! Veronika is a great teacher too, giving clear instructions and very passionate about her class. I wait for every Thursday to come here.”

“Best place ever ❤ so friendly. Excellent classes. The best there is. Highly recommend the Pole studio xxx”

“Love coming to this studio. t’s a very friendly and safe environment. Kelly is an amazing teacher! She breaks down every move in a way that’s easy to understand. She always keeps in mind everyone’s different level and works according to your abilities guaranteeing you the best out of each class.”

“Amazing studio! Everyone is so friendly and the classes are so much fun - Jackie is an amazing instructor and makes sure you learn some new skills every time!”

“I tried to call several time and sent email, but sadly no replies. I passed by today and rang the doorbell- no one answered the door ): is this place even open??”

“The best place for pole dancing and exotic classes. Yana is super talented and great instructor. The studio is a whole different vibe . Can't recommend it enough.”

“I love attending classes at this school and always look forward to them! I wish I could attend more. The environment is so very friendly and supportive. I really feel motivated and see improvements each single time. The class is never rushed. Attendants have enough time to get prepared and leave (seems obvious but I had very bad experiences in the past in these terms). Warm ups and cool downs are always accommodated and tailored to the nature of exercises that will be performed on the pole. This means: no injuries! The room is spacious and normally each attendant gets their own mat and pole, carefully sanitised prior to the lesson. Each pose gets built progressively and most of the times, by the end of a lesson we would be able to achieve what we were working on and perform a full coreo. A lot of attention goes to each single student and, if the levels are mixed, the teacher is always there to support and suggest simpler/trickier variations. There’s also a freestyle improv moment and conditioning at the end. Would definitely recommend!”

“Awesome studio, have been going regularly for over 6 months now and all the teachers are great, the atmosphere is really nice and you get to both have fun and train. I’d recommend to everyone to try it out!”

“Fantastic teachers all round, great variety of classes and a super friendly atmosphere! Love training here”
