This class is designed with plus sized women in mind, here at Essex Pole & Tone we are all about body positivity and empowering women. This class is completely beginner friendly featuring a range of different dancing techniques including pole, heels and floor-work.

Come explore the beautiful sport of aerial silks here at Essex Pole & Tone. This class is all about learning to move through the air as elegantly as if you had wings. It will help you to build strength, confidence and stamina while looking beautifully artistic. Both adult and children's classes are available.
All Group Classes operate on a monthly course system, strictly no drop ins or trials as no overcrowding is allowed. All dancers are allocated to their equipment in their monthly course. Trails available as 1-1 sessions only to trial the studio facilities and class discipline of choice.
We welcome everyone to our studio, complete beginner to seasoned polers! New students and existing or previous students always welcome!
Heels Classes -
At Essex Pole & Tone we offer two heels dancing classes; both our Wednesday and Sunday heels classes have a different theme every course, think Halloween & Christmas themes etc. This means that both courses finish with a dress up class where you can put on your best heels and outfit to dance full out to the choreography you have been learning all course. This gives you a great chance to see everything you have learned throughout that course. Spaces for these courses fill up extremely fast so get in quick to make sure you don't miss out.
Juniors Classes:
Aerial Hoop - Every Monday the juniors aerial hoop class teaches a range of skills and moves which are then choreographed into dance routines alongside the art of aerial hoop. Aimed at ages 5 to 16, it is a great way to get kids active, dancing and socialising through an existing interest of the latest dance trends. This class runs in two sets split by age and ability.
Mini's Aerial Hoop - Our Wednesday aerial hoop class is aimed at our youngest junior aerialists, starting at age 5. This class is all about building up little ones confidence and strength in a friendly fun environment. Lots of team work focus and cheering everyone on. Rest assured this will be the highlight of your little ones weeks!
Both of our adult aerial hoop classes are mixed ability sessions and are open to complete beginners. Regressions as well as progressions are provided for all moves to ensure that you will be confident in your session. An amazing way to exercise while making beautiful shapes and most importantly having fun.

WHAT TO WEAR
Pole:
Bare skin is needed to grip the pole so wear shorts and a supportive bra and top. No footwear or jewelry and please refrain from putting any creams on the skin that day. Pole leggings, gloves and grips can be purchase directly from the studio.
Hoop:
Leggings or jogging bottoms, supportive bra and top/hoodie. Preferably thick clothing as friction burn is common. Socks or leg warmers to avoid burns or bruising of the ankles/feet.
Children:
Loose fitting clothing is recommended with multiple layers if possible. Legs and arms should be covered to protect from discomfort. We sell our own line of Essex Pole & Tone / MGM Movement children's clothing, including onesies which are highly recommend as the thick padding helps protect while also aiding safe spotting techniques.
Silks:
Close fitting clothing that covers your legs, torso and arms is recommended as this will help to protect the skin and reduce friction burns.
Heels:
Pole dancing specific style heels and/or boots (such as pleasers, hella heels) are required for heels classes, this is because the design of the shoe, the platform and the angled fronts are specifically made to make dancing easier with more support and comfort than your average high heel. As a bonus they will make your legs look longer! Knee pads are also recommended and these can be purchased within the studio.
