York Pole Dance Academy.
Our Story So Far! |
York Pole Dance Academy was one of the first pole dance schools in the UK established by Marisa and Lianne in 2005.
A love of hip hop inspired Marisa and Lianne to take up pole dancing after seeing Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg’s Next Episode music video on MTV. To this day the classes keep a real hip hop, R‘n’B urban feel.
York Pole Dance Academy keeps pole dancing to its old school roots a 50/50 mix of spins/tricks and dance moves. This mix is what makes the classes original and so popular. Students are taught to link all the moves together making their routines sleek and sexy.
The Pussycat doll/Beyonce style dance moves inject the fun into the classes, then the spins and tricks will tone all muscles.

York Pole Dance Academy can teach you attitude, rhythm, confidence and sexyness.
Both experienced instructors Marisa and Lianne have worked as professional dancers, worked alongside DJ’s, MC’s and breakdancers and have competed at a national level. They have completed full first aid training (inc dance specific first aid) and both instructors have the CPD REP’s Register of Exercise Professionals and Skills active endorsed qualifications in pole dance fitness. They have taught thousands of real women how to pole dance for fitness and for fun.
York Pole Dance Academy started very small and the school is not a franchise. Marisa and Lianne started the school though a passion of music and pole dancing that has become lost in a world of extreme defeminised pole fitness these days. Many schools cut out the dancing part: this is your cardio workout, The part that aids weight loss. It is the fun part that makes routines gel together – the expressive, creative and emotional part that makes pole dancing look so amazing.
We feel that teaching our students to move around the pole is as important as the spins/tricks. This is what makes YORK POLE DANCE ACADEMY so special, unique and popular.
We are passionate about pole dancing and our aim is to pass on this passion to our students. We love teaching and can’t wait to teach you! |
