Skill & speciality classes
Courses teach the tricks. These classes build the body and the style that make them land. Drop in casually, any week, at any level. Most members add one a week alongside their course.
Dance classes
Floorwork, heels, and choreography. The class that turns a list of tricks into a routine you would want to perform. Pair it with Pole courses Level 2+, and anyone eyeing GLOW or a performance night.
Flexibility classes
Assisted stretching and mobility built for pole and aerial shapes. More range means cleaner lines and fewer sore weeks. Pair it with Every level. Especially useful from Level 3 when splits and backbends enter the syllabus.
Strength classes
Pole fitness and aerial conditioning: grip, core, shoulders and pull strength. The fastest way to unlock inverts and holds. Pair it with Beginners chasing their first invert, and lyra or silks students building for climbs.nothing like a workout
What you'll actually get

Before you come in
Pole Dancing Classes FAQ
Yes. Most of our students start with no dance background, no upper body strength and no flexibility. Pole starts with Pole Foundations, a four-week, beginner-only course where you learn your first spins, climbs and floorwork. Lyra, silks and hammock each have their own beginner level too. Classes are capped so instructors can give you real corrections, and you only move up when you're ready. Not sure where to start? An enrolment specialist will place you.
Every new student starts with a conversation. An enrolment specialist asks about your goals, your fitness and the studio closest to you, then places you in the right beginner course or intro program. Before your first class you'll attend an orientation, so you know the studio, meet the team and understand how classes run. We keep intakes small at each studio on purpose: fewer students per class means your instructor can give you real corrections, keep you safe on the pole, and learn your name. It's also why spots fill fast, so it's worth getting in early.
For pole, wear shorts and a singlet or crop top. Bare skin grips the pole, and even beginners use their legs to hold on. Skip moisturiser or body oil on the day and take off jewellery. For lyra, silks and hammock it's the opposite: fitted leggings and a fitted top. Train barefoot, and bring a water bottle, a small towel and knee pads. Heels are optional and only used in some dance classes.
Pole, lyra and silks run as eight-week courses: same night, same group and same instructor each week, with every class building on the last. Pole begins with a four-week Foundations course, then moves through Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Elite. Grading happens in week 7 and is free for members. Most students add a casual dance, flexibility or strength class each week, which run more flexible drop in style schedules. Coming back after a break or trained elsewhere? A free assessment places you at the right level.
Most students learn their first spins, climbs and floorwork within the first few weeks. From there, pole runs across seven levels: a four-week Foundations course, then Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Elite, each taught in eight-week terms. Each level takes one to three terms, and you move up through grading in week 7 once you've mastered the core tricks. First inverts usually come at Intermediate. Everyone progresses at their own pace, and consistency matters more than natural talent. Othe programs such as Silks, Hammocks and Lyra run similar leveled programs.
If you're starting out, one course class plus 1-3 casual class a week is a great rhythm. It gives your body time to adapt while you build grip and strength. For the fastest progress, aim for three a week: one tricks class, one conditioning or flexibility class and one dance class. Members also get unlimited practice sessions, so you can drill new moves between classes during our schedule practice hours. Our memberships are built around 2, 3 or 5 classes a week.
Less than you might think. A casual class is $42, but on a membership the cost per class drops to as little as $20. Memberships come with plenty of extras, including unlimited practice sessions, free grading, our trick and class video portal, retail discounts and eligibility for our SHINE competition and GLOW showcase. If you're new, don't plan too far ahead: start with one of our intro programs to see what type of classes you enjoy, then choose the membership that suits you.
Our seven Melbourne studios are in the CBD, Mitcham, Kilsyth, Highett, Narre Warren, Eltham and Rowville, so most people are within reach of one. If you're not, our Virtual Pole Studio runs stretch classes, you'll just need a 2×2 metre space and a laptop.

★★★★★Stepping into a pole studio is something I didn't think I would ever have the courage to do, but turns out it was one of the best decisions I have made! From the orientation night, to my first class, the people I have met; I have always felt welcomed and safe in a judgement free environment. In a short amount of time, it's already helped grow my self confidence and love my body more than I did when I would go to the gym. The Pole Room has helped me in more than just improving my physical strength. There is a wide range of classes to cater to all ability, strength and interest levels depending on what you want to work on. Each level progresses slowly and allows you to master each technique with the help of the most amazing instructors! I highly recommend taking the leap and joining!
★★★★★with no dance or fitness background whatsoever, it took me a while to build up the courage to join but as soon as i came through those doors i felt so welcomed! vibes are always high and it is such a supportive environment, the teachers and students i have had the pleasure of meeting have all been so lovely. coming to the pole room is truly the best decision i have ever made for myself, my mental health and my physical health and i cannot wait to see where pole takes me throughout the rest of my life 🥹
★★★★★I love the classes at the Pole Room! As an introverted person, beginning pole dancing was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but it has been so fulfilling. I’ve not only gained strength and skill, but also confidence. Everyone is super friendly, helpful and organised. The teachers and very talented, encouraging, and clear in their instructions. Every class I’ve been to is so much fun and designed with all fitness levels in mind. I’ve seen so much progress in a short time and I’m super excited to continue!
★★★★★i started with TPR on my own, which was so scary at the time. fast forward over a year later, i feel stronger, more confident and have made some of the best friends in both teachers and students. the teachers work to accommodate every body, and the community created at TPR is unmatched. the highlight of my day is coming into studio, i love my second home and our family there 🧚🏼
★★★★★I joined the pole room in January 2021 and to say it has changed my life is an understatement. From the moment I walked into the studio I felt welcome and loved. The teachers and other students lift you up and make you feel like you can do anything, pole has made me a happier and more confident version of myself and I couldn't be more grateful to be apart of the TPR tribe. If joining pole has ever crossed your mind you should absolutely join, I promise you it'll be the best decision you ever make 💛💛
★★★★★Best pole studio!!! First time learning pole dance and I was super nervous in the beginning but this studio has friendly beginner program, ensuring there is an organized structure for beginners. I’ve been here for several months and really see progress and love manager Jake and instructors here, they are all so nice and passionate!
★★★★★I’m not super confident or athletic, but everyone who I have encountered since day 1 has been super encouraging and welcoming, from the students to the staff. All the teachers are incredibly patient, professional, and genuinely invested in seeing you progress and grow. Just an hour in class never fails to pull me out of a bad day.
★★★★★Amazing staff, fantastic facilities and never been in a more supportive environment!
★★★★★The Pole Room has exceeded my expectations. Teachers and other dancers are all friendly, and each class is such a great workout! I would highly recommend TPR to anyone looking to get fit and have fun
