Our Levels
At Pole Impact, we don't believe in mastering every single move on an arbitrary list in order to "move up" a level. We understand that every body is different. Instead, we prioritize anchor moves. These are foundational movements – like a pole sit or an outside leg hang – that will need to be performed safely and cleanly before attempting more challenging moves. Our instructors will assess your anchor moves to help you determine if you’re ready to move on to the next class.
That said, if you've never tried pole before, come to our Intro or Beginner classes!
