Hello Everyone, Ania will be back with a new 2h Workshop: "Shapes, floor to ceiling!" November 29th, 10 am to 12:00. https://www.brassmonkeypolefitness.com/service-page/shapes-floor-to-ceiling?referral=service_list_widget We will learn to work on the pole and with the floor to create beautiful shapes to be used in flows and perfect as photoshoot ideas!

Hello Polers, We are organising a photoshoot to celebrate your pole journey! Lieke, of led-photography.com, will be at the studio on December 6th, 11:00 to 12:00, to capture your pole skills and personality. Choose your outfit(s) and together we’ll work through your favourite poses to create a celebration of your pole achievements! Cost of the photoshoot will be 50 euro per person, for 5 photo edits. Spaces for this photo session are limited and we will be taking fist-come-first-served bookings. Please message me to reserve a spot. Best, Bianca :)

Dear Polers, As you may know, due to increased work and volunteering commitments, Ania will not be able to keep teaching the regular weekly classes at the studio past the end of September. But she will be coming back for Workshops and guest classes, the first one of which is now open for booking! Ania will teach a 2h Heels Choreography Flow Workshop on the 8th of November, from 11:15

We will start advertising the workshop next week, but I wanted to give the you, her long-time students, the chance to secure a spot before they may be all be gone. Hope to see you at the workshop, Bianca :)

We get this question a lot, but there’s no one-size-fits-all answer!

Grip depends on many factors, but after nearly 15 years of experience, we've put together a starter grip aid kit that helps most students.

🧰 Grip Aid Kit Checklist

If you are struggling with the handgrip on the pole, here are some tips to help with that:

🔹 Warm up your hands

Cold hands = weak grip! 🥶Rub them together or do light wrist exercises before starting.

🔹 Warm up the pole surface

Alike to cold hands, cold pole surface doesn't help with the grip. Do a portion of the warm using the pole which will help to balance the temperature of the surface.
