Frequently asked questions!
GLOW is The Pole Room's annual student showcase, where participants take the stage and perform a choreographed routine in front of a live audience. It is a celebration of our program and a reflection of the confidence, creativity and community that makes The Pole Room so special.
Whether it is your first time performing or you are returning for another spotlight moment, GLOW is all about growth, expression and celebrating the journey you have taken in our studios.
Any current member at The Pole Room may join a GLOW performance course, provided there is availability and the course is suitable for your level as outlined in the course description.
Students must hold an active membership at The Pole Room throughout the duration of the course.
Courses are tailored to different skill levels, so whether you are a beginner or more advanced, there will be an option designed for you.
Each GLOW course gives you everything you need to prepare for the stage, including:
- Weekly rehearsals to learn and refine your choreographed routine
- Guidance from your instructor, including technique, routine and performance coaching
- Support with costume planning and overall stage preparation
- A spot in the GLOW Showcase, where you will perform your routine on stage in front of a supportive audience
Plus capture and share your performance with professional pictures from DanceFlix and professional video from HoneyDrops.
Courses are categorised by skill level, style, and availability. Check the course descriptions for requirements, themes, and rehearsal times to find the one that suits you best.
Ensure you are at the correct level in the course title. For example, BEG 2+ means you need to be enrolled in a Beginner 2 course or above for that apparatus, while OPEN is for all levels.
Each course runs for eight weeks, with a two hour rehearsal each week. You must also be available for:
- The onstage run-through on show day
- Your evening performance
Some students choose to practise outside of rehearsals, though this is optional.
All bookings take place on events.thepoleroom.com.au under the locations bookings page. Once a course is full it will no longer be available for booking.
Simply browse the available courses on your select studio's Course Bookings Page, select the course that suits you best, and follow the prompts to secure your spot.
Each course runs with a minimum of 5 students and a maximum of 10.
If a course does not reach the minimum number of participants, the studio will:
- Offer you a place in another suitable course, or
- Provide a refund of any payments made towards GLOW

Rehearsals have increased from 90 minutes to 2 hours each week based on student and instructor feedback. The hourly rate remains the same at $30 per hour.
Attendance is important to keep the routine clean and cohesive for the whole group. If you need to miss a rehearsal, please let your instructor know as early as possible. You will be responsible for catching up on what you missed, which may require a private training session at your own cost.
Wear comfortable activewear that allows you to move and train safely. As the routine develops, your instructor will let you know if specific clothing, footwear or rehearsal items are needed to suit the style of the piece.
Costumes are one of the most exciting parts of the GLOW experience. Your instructor will guide you through the theme, style and any specific requirements for your piece.
You will have plenty of time to plan and organise your costume, and instructors aim to keep costume expectations modest and manageable for students.
Yes! If you'd like to perform in multiple routines, you can book more than one course, provided the rehearsal times don't overlap.
Feeling nervous is completely normal, especially if it's your first time on stage. You won't be doing this alone. Your instructor and your course group will support you throughout the entire process, and rehearsals are designed to help you build confidence week by week.
Most first-time performers say GLOW becomes one of the most empowering and unforgettable moments of their pole journey.
