We chose a Burlesque workshop with Pink Kitten Dance School. Our poor instructor was faced with a…read morenumber of extremely hungover / still half drunk hens who put us through our paces. First of all we were taught how to walk alluringly across the floor! Easy eh? We stumbled ungraciously and self-consciously across the floor in our high heels! However by the end of the class we were all able to do a routine. Dita Von Teese isn't going to be hanging up her boa anytime soon but it was a fun activity which really bonded the hen group and taught us some saucy tricks to use at home! The workshop took place in the club part of Java on a lovely light up dancefloor which gave that additional glam factor! We borrowed feather boas but bring your own cardigan (buttons rather than velcro, this isn't The Full Monty) to help you practice your reveal! No nipple tassle twirling required, you can wear a little top under your cardi. I wore shorts, a top, cardigan and high heels. It may be gentle exercise but were definitely sweating our toxins out towards the end of the workshop.

I heart Pink Kitten! I recently moved to Bristol from America and was mourning the loss of my…read moreburlesque and pole teacher there. As a shy retiring type and still very new to any sort of dance, I was hesitant to dive in with strange teachers in an unfamiliar place. But the PK students and teachers are some of the loveliest and most encouraging people I've met here. After trying several of the schools in Bristol, PK is my favorite! Great burlesque and pole, along with amazing circus classes...my newfound workout passion. Also, the student showcases mean opportunities for as much or as little individual creative expression as you want. My self-confidence has soared, and I've transformed from "scared to wear a swimsuit" to feeling so sexy and super-strong these days. And as a non-dancer I can safely say, absolutely anyone can and should try this! Take on a taster session and believe me, you will love it.

A friend of mine is quite the Keep Fit fanatic. She works hard, and so she needs the adrenalin high…read moreof exercise to de-stress. As well as the gym and running marathons, she has found a more playful way to let off steam, and has had a shiny silver pole put up in her living room. Whenever friends and colleagues go round - for dinner, for drinks, for a meeting - somehow, it always ends up with us dancing around the pole, and the next day we can play spot the UFOs or bruises. I get plenty. Still if done properly (i.e. not after several cocktails) it can get you super fit. Pole Twisters know this which is why they have friendly professional dance instructors available to offer home, gym or club classes. The dance school specialises in many different forms of dance including: * Pole Dancing * Burlesque * Exotic/Lap Dance * Can Can * Belly Dancing * Salsa

Have been attending classes with Pole Twisters for almost 2 years now and they are really helpful…read more I've only once had to share a pole at thier cardiff studios but it was only with one person. When I was learning with ther companies I often found I was sharing a pole with 5 or more other people. You get a great course structure whichmakes it easy to refer back to moves for practice. Even in a group class environment you get all the help you need. The courses are very reasonably priced also. I have always found that my needs have been met even if I try to book the studio just a few hours before I want it hired out. Very helpful and friendly, I've referred many friends already and would continue to do so.
