This studio focuses on pole dance and fitness, combining strength, flexibility and confidence-building in a supportive setting. Reviews highlight experienced instructors and a relaxed environment where people can come along and let loose without feeling judged. Several members mention training there for years, and at least one went on to become an instructor themselves, which speaks to the encouraging culture.

Classes & Dance Styles

The core offering is pole dance and fitness rather than the ballroom, ballet or salsa styles some may be searching for, so it is worth setting expectations accordingly. Classes are described as laid-back and low-pressure, welcoming people to build skills a couple of times a week at their own pace. The well-equipped, air-conditioned space with mirrors and gym mats supports steady progress in strength and technique.

I've learnt from multiple instructors over the years I've been going here and every single one are amazing. They understand how to motivate and encourage everyone to no one is left out. I've learnt so much more than pole dancing here, I've gained self esteem and more confidence than I've ever had in my life. I've gone from not being able to walk out my door without changing five times as I didn't think I looked okay to running— Kelly Botha

Its a fully air-conditioned room with access to gym mats, full length mirrors and spot lighting creates the mood for a dance! It's a nice size and intimate room with freestanding 10 ft poles. The owner Amy and the wonderful instructors create an amazing and relaxing vibe ensuring that anyone who is initially nervous at starting is put at ease straight away! The instructors are friendly and approachable, well trained and PDC approved, fully first aid trained and insured so there is n— Sophie Smith

I trained originally at Candy about 4.5 years ago for about 2 years, and it was there I started my own journey to being a pole dance instructor!
Amy's pole classes have a great, laid back, no pressure vibe, where people can come along and let loose a couple of times a week learning some cool pole tricks, spins and moves. Candy mostly focuses on progressing you through your pole moves, building up your strength and fitness along the way, as you are challenged to achieve new tricks as you move through the course levels at your pace.
There isn't any intense competitive spirit, so you're free to j— Peach Lee Ray
