Pole Grading: Everything You Need to Know

Get ready to move to the next level in pole

As we develop on our pole dancing skills, we’re levelling up in so many ways. We feel stronger, more confident, more flexible and let’s not forget those happy endorphins! Additionally, each week brings new thrills as we refine our skills and take on more complex tricks. Those basic pole climbs that once seemed daunting are now a breeze, and before we know it, our once shy beginner-selves are ready to conquer new heights.

What is Grading?

Grading is an in-person assessment which determines if you are ready to move through the Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Elite pole levels. It is conducted by a TPR instructor and is generally scheduled on week 7 of an 8-Week Term. Aside from moving up another level, Grading also helps students improve their skills, track their progress, and set goals.

If you’re ready to step further ahead in your pole journey, you’ve come to the right place.


GRADING REQUIREMENTS

Each level has its own core tricks and pre-requisites to pass, with each level varying in difficulty.

Everyone progresses at a different pace and that’s totally fine! Some students may pass on the first go, whilst others may take a few tries. Just remember each individual journey is special and there is no race to run but your own.
