Pole Dancing, Burlesque and Can-Can Student Testimonals

[Back]

“I was hooked as soon as I'd taken the pole dnacing taster session. I gained a lot from the pole dancing course as I lost nearly half a stone in the process and every week my arms seemed to get more and more toned. Plus I was never able to walk in heels beforehand, but now I'm the proud owner of 5 new pairs of very high stilettos so it's not just fitness I gained. I recently bought my own pole, which is currently up in the living room – regardless of comments from visitors (!) – and my boyfriend thinks it's his birthday. I am not really excited about my burlesque class thats coming up soon!” Susie, 27, Southampton

“I really enjoyed the pole dance class and thought it was excellent. Thank you for the experience, I have actually been more confident since the class. My fiance now wants to buy me the pole dance classes as an engagement present (I wonder why!?!) Jill is amazing, very easy to get on with and great fun, give her a medal!” Natalie, 31, Scotland

“I had so much fun and Kat was great. I never work out and this made me want to go to the gym to boost my strength/fitness. Kat made me think I could do any move and got me to do sit up’s and push up’s every week with out cheating! Learning how to pole dance has made be healthy and fitter without a doubt” Linda, 28, London

"I singed up for cancan lessons after watching Moulin Rouge as it seemed like really good fun and you get to wear really cool skirts! I didn’t actually realise how much of a workout it was going to be. Having done the can-can course my abs feel firmer, my legs are more toned and I can walk up stairs without feeling breathless at the top! It’s the perfect kind of exercise where you don’t realise you’re doing it as your concentrating on learning routines and performing. I was constantly smiling during the can-can dance and at the end all the girls would just collapse on the floor in a fit of giggles!" Miranda, 32, Scotland

“I'm extremely happy, inspired and impressed with Binny and her enthusiasm. I recommend anyone to have a pole dancing party!” Marie, 35, Brighton

“I was really nervous about going to burlesque school, but I actually really enjoyed the classes, especially the last lesson with the nipple tassle twirling. I definitely needed the a couple glasses of wine for that one!” Tammy, 22, Reading

“I a pole dancing hen party with Jill and enjoyed myself so much I enrolled on the pole dancing classes after the wedding. Jill is a great communicator and the combination of her people skills and personality made the course a fabulous experience.” Lara, 27, Edinburgh

“Brilliant fun! One of the best forms of exercise ever.” Jenny, 22, Liverpool

"I’ve always been shy about my body, like every girl I was self-conscious about my wobbly bits and tried to hide them under loose baggy clothes. I was convinced that if I lost enough weight and got to a size 6 I would be more confident. After trying a million diets and hopeless short-lived stints at the gym, I was still unhappy. My friend then suggested poledancing to me and I thought she was mad. How could I strut around in shorts and pretend to be sexy in front of other people when I was so shy my body? However, she wouldn’t give in and I was reluctantly dragged along to a taster session to learn to pole dance. I was amazed to see lots of different women of all shapes and sizes at the class, I thought they’d all be tall and leggy pole dancers. The taster was so much fun and not what I expected at all. I was shy at first, but all the other girls were so encouraging, giving a round of applause whenever anybody performed a good move, so I thought, just go for it. After the taster I booked straight onto the course and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the girls from the taster had booked too. Joining the course did so much to boost my confidence. It really taught me to relax and just have fun. It was also much more energetic than I had imagined, and within weeks I had lost weight and become much more toned. The moves we learned teach you to make the most of your body and show it off. And by the end of the course I was strutting in my high heels and shorts feeling sexy and proud. Joining the course was the best thing I’ve ever done to raise my self-esteem. I found new friends and new confidence. I’ve learnt not only to live with my curves but to also how to work and make the best of them. Now I’m not afraid to wear fitted clothes or let loose on the dance floor, I’m happy and relaxed about my body and I can’t wait to learn burlesque and do some can-can dancing!" Geraldine, 21, London

“Really good fun, fabulous party atmosphere. Cheeky and saucy. Just want you want for a burlesque party. The burlesque dance that we learnt went down a treat in the bedroom!” Sophie, 36, Manchester

“I did a six week beginners course with another school and then joined the Polestars intermediate course. I quickly realised the other girls had learnt much more than me and went back and did the Polestars beginners course.” Michelle, 25, London

“My friend dragged me to a Polestars course. I didn't expect it to be as technical or as interesting as it was. I thought we would just be gyrating around the pole.” Anna, 40, Sheffield

"I went along to the burlesque classes with Polestars as I’ve always been quite shy and was looking for a fun way to boost my confidence. The burlesque course was really great as I saw everyone around me going for it and getting into character which made me less nervous as everyone was just having fun. Each burlesque class became more challenging and by week 4 I felt really comfortable about performing the routine we’d been taught - props, facial expressions and all! I’m no Dita Von Teese but I’ve definitely moved on from the shy girl that I was." Lindsey, 21, London

“The teacher was a natural instructor, she gets the best out of her class – Top Marks!” Stephanie, 31, Newcastle

“I’ve really enjoyed the class, far more fun than I expected. Great fun and good exercise. The teacher was great and really enthusiastic.” Debbie, 19, London

"I wasn’t too sure about the idea of pole dancing lessons at first, but it was my new years resolution to loose weight and I wasn’t going to sign up for another expensive gym I’d never go to. The pole dancing course was so much fun and I loved the fact that the classes were all female, we were all in the same boat having never done it before and everyone was really supportive of each other. I felt the burn in my arms and thighs after the first pole dance class and as the weeks went on I got stronger and was able to hold my weight for longer. I always worry about bingo wings but I hate doing weights so pole dancing is my ideal workout!" Beth, 36, Cardiff

"I wasn’t too sure what to expect on my can-can course but it was so such fun. Our teacher, Emma, made us feel really at ease, and I have never laughed so much while doing exercise! Each week we learned a different routine which made it really interesting and challenging and I got a really good workout every time. After some knicker flashing, i couldn’t help but become friends with the other girls in my class! It was lovely to see everyone grow in confidence as we perfected our moves. The only downfall is that it only lasted 4 weeks but I’ve bought my own can can skirt, and me and the girls are getting together for another practice! I cannot recommend can can enough for enjoyable exercise! It does exist!" Leilah, 23, London

"We have just returned from Edinbrugh after the most fantastic weekend for my hen Weekend. My hens had organised the whole thing for me so I didnt know what to expect and was lets just say, somewhat nervous. Jill was AMAZING... she made us feel so relaxed and confident, I almost asked her to be one of my bridesmaids! She was immense and made us all feel really welcome at our burlesque dancing lesson on Saturday. She made sure we were all ok and up for the crack (which we most definately were by the end of the two hours!)" Sarah, Edinburgh
