"Foundations is a fantastic intro to pole dancing. Once you start spinning around the pole, there is no going back!" - Kathy Keat

"Never have I been somewhere so inclusive, comfortable, and embracing" - Nicole Trist

"My strength has improved greatly which has translated into my daily life." - Lisa Keenan

Myth #1
​"1 have to be strong to do pole."

You don't have to be strong to start pole...pole makes you strong! Like any form of exercise, you do it for the gains, you don't have to already have them before you start.

Myth #2
​"1 have to be in shape before I start."

 What does that even mean? Yes, pole will make you fit and strong. Yes, you can lose heaps of weight with pole. Yes, pole gives you awesome muscles. BUT you have to do it to get it- you aren't expected to have it first.

Myth #3
​ "1 am the wrong size."

Size means nothing in pole. Strength is everything. We have women of all shapes and sizes in our pole community. No judgement, only encouragement and support.

Myth #4
​"1 have to wear skimpy clothing."

Pole requires skin to grip the pole. When you first start, all you need is a pair of shorts and a singlet in order for your skin to contact the pole. You can even buy sticky tights if you don't want to wear shorts!

Myth #5
​ "1 have to have dance experience."

Not at all! You don't need to have any prior dance experience. Pole teaches you coordination, good technique and posture. We dance in all our classes at OFF DUTY, teaching across many styles and genres. It's about the fun!

Myth #6
​ "1t's a very judgemental community."

 This is not the case at all! OFF DUTY is inclusive, welcoming and supportive. In fact, the entire pole community is. When you nail a move, or come close, the whole class will stop and cheer and share in your joy. And you will do the same for them. There is a unique closeness that bonds us together- that only pole dancers know.

Myth #7 
"Pole dancing is for strippers."

Pole dancing is a mainstream form of fitness. 
It is a graceful way to train and gain serious strength and flexibility whilst pushing cardio limits through dancing.
It is both dance and sport woven together into one beautiful, athletic art form.

Myth #8 
"I am too old to pole dance."

Age is never a limitation and we have all ages from 18 to 70 at OFF DUTY.
Most pole dancers, regardless of age, are in the best shape of their lives.
