Having trained at various Pole Studios across the face of Melbourne over the past four years,…read moreXpressions offer unmatched tuition. The teacher takes a 'one on one' approach to students in a class packed with six girls. She's AMAZING!! And. Her routines and classes; Not only perfectly coriographed, but presented in a sexy and smart way which makes it easy for the girls to pick up quickly. Xpressions is really rewarding not only physically but also mentally. Simply learning the lap dance classes provided really boosted my confidence, I felt security again. And the abs and ass class has also paid off. I fit my favorite bikini again, just in time for summer lol. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fitness disguised in a fun and sexy way!!!

This small dance school specialises in styles that don't require you to kick-ball-change or evoke…read morespirit in your fingers. What initially started out as a place to learn burlesque and pole dancing has now grown to include classes such as intermediate classical ballet, 80s-inspired dance exercise, cabaret, go-go, African-inspired 'booty' dance and stretch classes. Most classes are run as 8-week courses (prices vary but most are around the $170 mark) but you can also attend classes in burlesque and pole choreography as a casual. I've tried pole and burlesque here and they're both really fun classes led by teachers who are very experienced and seem to understand that people who come to their establishment do so not just to learn a skill, but also to have a few laughs. if you're shy, or you know your moves are too hot for most people to witness, you can book a private class, or you can get a group of friends together and book a 'party' class.

One Monday evening, I plucked up the courage to go and do something that I have always wanted to…read moredo, but never got around to. Perhaps I was waiting to get invited to a bachelorette party that involved a fun activity such as this, but alas, an invitation never came. As I waited for my casual introductory pole dance class, I was definitely nervous about making a fool out of myself, and considering all the ways that I could injure myself by attempting to defy gravity on a vertical pole. A few minutes into the class, and that all went away. Our teacher put every one at ease ( apparently I wasnt the only nervous one!) and I was able to check my self consciousness at the door, relax and enjoy myself thoroughly. Now, after that one class I'm probably not going to win the world championships of pole dancing, or get a job at spearmint rhino, but I had a great work out, and left with a little bounce in my step and a wiggle in my hips. If you've ever thought about trying it out, take the plunge - its super fun and a little addictive, I must say. And it never hurts to learn a new trick or two that you can, ahem, show off in the privacy of your own home......

Instructors were hardworking and definitely made you work harder to progress. Felt like boot camp rather than just exotic dancing which was an eye-opener! Made me a whole lot fitter than I was. The studio was a bit small & not as big as Pole Divas. The poles were a bit close together but still a good pole studio.
