Before your first class

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not here, email us. We would rather help you choose well than leave you guessing.

Which class should I take?

Start with a class that matches your current pole and dance experience. If you are between levels, email us and describe your training so far.

What should I wear?

Wear clothing that lets you move. Pole classes often need exposed skin for grip. Class descriptions in Arketa list special footwear or clothing requirements.

Do I need platform heels?

Only when the class or series description says so. Contact us before you buy shoes if you are not sure which type is suitable.

Can you accommodate an injury or disability?

Tell us what support you need before class. We will explain available options and whether the selected class is a safe fit.

What are the cancellation rules?

The current cancellation and credit rules appear in Arketa when you book. Check them before you complete payment.

Do you offer private lessons or group events?

Availability changes by instructor and venue. Email us with your goals, group size, and preferred dates.

Where are classes?

Current classes run at Studio 4 Athletics in downtown Victoria, PoleTrix in Langford, and Pandora's Box Cabaret in Esquimalt.

Is Captivate running?

We are not offering the Captivate Performance Program or subscription plans right now. Current programs and application dates appear on this site.
