FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Who takes pole dance lessons?
Women who are looking for a new way to exercise that is fun, exciting, and makes them feel good.  Every woman has an
inner goddess inside that is waiting to come out.  Pole dancing is for those who are ready to release it.  Please keep in
mind that this is a physical activity, and  you will be holding your own body weight for pole spins.  It really depends on how
you carry your own body weight.  The poles are sturdy and hold up to 250 pounds.  If you are not sure if you will be able to
take the 4 Week Beginner Pole Dance Fundamentals session, you can take the Intro to Pole Dance class to try a class.

2. What do you do at a pole dancing class?
The Beginner Pole Dance Fundamentals and Beginner Pole Dance Continuing classes will teach you 20-30 tricks, poses,
moves and a routine as the class progresses.  Pole tricks require a lot of upper body and leg strength so each class will
start off with a warm up, stretch and pole strengthening exercises and will end with a stretch and cool down.  The last
class will be a fun class to review the moves and wear your stilettos.

9.  What levels of class are offered and how do I know which one to take?
Currently the Beginner Pole Dance Fundamentals and Beginner Pole Dance Continuing classes are being offered.  These
classes are for anyone that has had no experience or a limited background in pole dancing.  The class is a progressive
class and it is normal to take the beginner levels more than once.  It is important to feel comfortable with the moves that
you have learned, so you will be ready for more advanced moves and tricks.  Everyone should work at their own level to
ensure that they are not injured.  It’s important to not get discouraged and do what is most comfortable for you.  

You can stay in the Beginner Pole Dance Continuing until you are ready to move on to the Intermediate class.  

Intermediate and Advanced classes are offered for students that are capable of climbing and inverting.  Permission
must be received in order to take these classes.

10. When I am ready to move on to the next level and will there be more
advanced classes offered?
Progressive pole work will be taught at each individuals level.  It is recommended to take the Beginner Pole Dance
Fundamentals class first and then assess the level you should be at.   Each level will build on previous classes so that
you build the strength to move on to more advanced moves.  Approval from the instructor will be needed to move on to
the next level.

11. What will be taught in the intermediate and advanced levels?
The Intermediate to Advanced classes will review the moves, tricks and poses you learned in the beginning levels and
expand to inverted poses, static poses, and more advanced spins and combinations.  Classes are 1 1/2 hrs. The
Intermediate class is offered every week on Wednesday at 7-8:30pm and the Advanced class is held every Tuesday at 8:
15-9:45pm.   You can come for one class or as many as you like.  This class is a limited to 3-4 people, so that more
personal instruction can be given to students and more time on the pole .  The Intermediate and Advanced classes are
$40 for one class or a class card can be purchased.  The class cards can be purchased for $150 for 4 classes which
can be used whenever you want.  You can pay for the class card by debit/credit on the
contact us page or by cash or
check.

12.  Do you offer drop in classes or one time classes?
Yes.  One day Intro to Pole Dance classes are offered every month for those ladies that would like to try a class to see
what pole dancing is all about.  Classes are usually held on Mondays and Saturdays.  One Day Intro Pole Dance, Cardio
Pole Dance, Just Pole Tricks, Sensual Chair Dance, Pole Conditioning, Floor and Core, and Ballet Pole Tango classes will
also be offered.  Check the class schedule for days and times of class.  Classes are $25 if you pay by debit/credit on the

web page.  The online scheduler is the most up to date schedule and will list any class cancellations.  You must use the
one day class within 3 months or it will expire.

13. Can men attend class?
Classes are for ladies only.  Sorry guys you will have to wait until they get home for them to practice their new moves.

14. What time should I arrive for class?
You should try to arrive 15 minutes prior to the first class so that class can start on time.  We have a lot to cover in
class.  If you come late for a class or private group lesson then the instructor will still end the class accordingly.  
Classes and private groups are held back to back so end time of lesson will be followed accordingly.  Please allow
enough time for traffic and for getting lost.   Classes are held at my home studio which is in a residential area.  Street
parking is available. Please call if you need directions to Pole Velocity Dance and Fitness at (773) 965-1063.

15. What do I wear to class?
You should wear what you are most comfortable with.  Yoga pants and a T-shirt are fine.  You should also bring a pair of
comfortable shorts to class for some of the pole tricks.  If you are really brave then you can bring a pair of sturdy high
heels.  I prefer to learn new moves barefoot.  It helps you grip the pole.  Bring water.  This is a workout and you should be
hydrated.

Please REMEMBER do not put on any OILS OR LOTIONS before class.  Your body needs to be clean
so that you can stick to the pole and not slide off.   Please wash your hands before class with
anti-bacteria soap with no moisturizers.  
Also, NO jewelry, watches or belts as these items may
cause pinching and will scratch the poles.
 You will be asked to remove jewelry items before being
allowed to take class.

16. Do you do private group parties?
Yes.  Private group parties are offered at my home studio or another location where I bring the pole to you.  If you would
like to come to my home studio, there is a fee of $35 per person for a one hour lesson  for up to 15 people. There is a
minimum of 3 people.  
 If the pole lesson is delayed from the original start time agreed upon, there is an additional fee of
$5 per person for up to 30 minutes the instructor has to wait to start the lesson or $10 per hour the instructor has to
wait.  Please make sure your guests arrive on time
.  (Gratuity is greatly appreciated for services rendered and set up
and usage of poles).  

You can also provide the location and we can come to your home, hotel, or other venue.  There are a few requirements
for the set up of the pole depending on the location.  Perfect for Bachelorette Parties, Birthday Parties, or a Girl's Night
In.  For home parties it takes about 20 minutes to set up the pole and then the lesson lasts about 1 - 1 1/2 hours
depending on the size of the group.  A Flat ceiling of 9ft maximum is required so that the pole can be secured from the
floor to the ceiling. Floor tile, carpet or hardwood floors are also okay.  You will learn a simple routine on the pole
including dance moves, floor work, and a few pole spins. It's a great way to have fun and get a bit of a workout at the
same time.  

The Home Party Fee is $400 for 3-15 people, or $450 for groups of 16-20 people, or $500 for 21 -25 people maximum.  
Groups of more than 25 are not accepted for home parties.  Watching the pole lesson is considered entertainment and
will be included in the number of people. There is a $150 non-refundable deposit to hold the day and time.  The remaining
balance is due the day of the party to the home party instructor by cash or check.  
If the pole lesson is delayed from the
original start time agreed upon, there is an additional fee of $25 per 30 minutes the instructor has to wait to start the
lesson.  Please make sure your guests arrive on time
. An additional travel fee of $50 will apply to travel to Chicago
suburbs more than 25 miles from the home studio.  We do not travel more than a 35 mile distance for home parties from
the home studio location.  If the home party is at a hotel, the parking fee will be added to the balance due.  Parking
usually is about $25 at a downtown hotel.  It's good to book at least one month in advance due to limited availability and
approval from owner will be needed before booking.  (Gratuity is greatly appreciated for services rendered and set up
and usage of poles).

*****Please make sure that your party guests arrive on time and plan the time for the pole lesson accordingly when
booking.  The home party instructor has the right to start the lesson at the scheduled start time even if  all your guests
are not there on time.  The instructor has the right to end the lesson at the scheduled end time even if your party guests
arrive late and the lesson starts late.  Please be considerate of the instructors time and travel.  If no one is participating
in the lesson, the instructor has the right to end the lesson early.  This is a group interactive lesson with guest
participation.
