At Spin City Exeter we teach hundreds of moves and combinations within our 5 level pole syllabus. Splitting classes into ability levels ensures that our students learn at a level that is comfortable for them and work with other students of a similar level.  It also ensures that each student gets plenty of the instructor's time, helping them to progress in every lesson.

FREE* Pole Taster Session

Are you completely new to pole? If so a taster session at Spin City Exeter is the perfect opportunity for you to find out what it is all about. This is a 60 minute session that will give you the chance to learn some spins and transitions designed for complete beginners.

For the taster session please arrive five minutes before the class start time. Bare arms and legs are essential to grip the pole, so we recommend that you wear shorts and a t-shirt or vest top, with bare feet. Please try not to moisturise, or use any oils or lotions on the day of your class as this can affect your skin's ability to grip to the pole. If you prefer you will be able to wear leggings on your first class, although this will mean you won't have as much grip.

*we charge just £5 for this taster session which can then be deducted off the price of your first regular class booked
