As much as I would love to help you all out and tell you where classes are available, we do not have an underground pole fitness network and the only studio I know of personally is the one I go to in Wellington. I wrote the article but I am not some sort of pole fitness guru, I just go to classes and help to instruct at times! The website for the Wellington studio is http://www.polefitness.co.nz. Any enquiries please contact SHARYN on 0275618428 or LISA on 021454728, who know a lot more than me.

Any other links that have been posted on here are posted by independant groups. If you want to know of any classes in other places, such as Christchurch, the internet is your best search option.

I also suggest you revisit my site, as we have edited almost every page and Nicola has kindly helped me rewrite the History of Pole Dancing – to which we also have done a great deal more research for than was in the original article.
I cannot thank Nicola enough for her advice and help – it is always so appreciated when people are actually friendly and helpful even when their own schedules are as busy as mine is!

When I initially used the material, I assumed that in an industry where we it is very much a minority, people would be a lot more supportive and helpful rather than negative as we are all on the same side of the boat.
But I guess being brought up in New Zealand here, where people ARE always genuine and supportive, maybe I am spoilt?
I only ever promote an environment around my students where they can feel nurtured and supported no matter what and until I came across you Genevieve, I assumed the rest of the world was the same.
Call me naieve, but I usually see the best in people…..

From now on, I think I will be much more careful with anyone from an overseas country as I have now seen that people in other places are so different to Kiwi’s!

If someone had used material off my site, I would have been flattered that they thought it was good enough to be used. It is a shame that in the case of strctlypoledance, it was more just convenience as I was in a hurry to get a site up and then with the new Studio premises, too busy to fix it.
.
But I do have to thank you Genevieve as you have improved my site so much with your complaint!
If you hadnt brought this up, I probably wouldn’t have made time to update in a hurry and I would have left material there which after reading it thoroughly, I noted many inaccuracies with and many incomplete entries.
I should have paid more attention to the site initially but it seemed not as important as getting The Studio finished…..
I have now remedied the site problems for the most part, but I will keep working on it as I have also come up with some exciting new page ideas that we will be working on over the next little while.

Love,
Sharyn

I have replied to your email. There was some delay as I am in the UK. I think your impatience is unnecessary, but you have in fact BROKEN THE LAW in directly lifting material from my website and the literature that you are using as your own needs to be removed. It really is very clear to anyone who reads it:

http://www.strictlypoledancing.co.uk

Also, Genevieve you have recieved no less than 10 emails from us from 3 different email addresses to which we have had no reply, but yet you seem to have time to post on a website that doesnt belong to us?
Interesting…..

We have a new curriculum which will give our Accreditation Programme students set goals and achievements with exams to advance them to the next level – but of course if you dont feel up to working your way through that, you can always just come as a casual and have fun while getting fit!
I am slowly going to add that info to the site.
Our website will eventually be completely updated, I just have been so busy with Teaching that I just havent had any time spare.
We had a fantastic class tonight with 16 girls who had such a blast they are all coming back!
So any girls who want to come to a class, you MUST book as we do limit the numbers to a maximum of 16 in one class and we wouldnt want you to turn up and be disappointed if we cant accomodate you!

Are classes still being run at Santa Fe in Welly now that it has relocated? A few of my friends and I are interested in having some classes, so I’m wondering whether the same deal still applies?

Cheers

Nicola.

It sounds like a great idea, I will find out if the club will be available at that time. It opens for business at 8pm so we would need to be out by then. I will let you know as soon as possible. It may be easier if I can get your cellphone number.

Nicola

Thank you for your message.

I’m still trying to sort out some activities for my friend’s Hens party on Friday 5 January and was thinking of including a pole-dancing class.

I don’t own a pole so it would probably be best to hire a studio at Santa Fe for 45 minutes to an hour. Would you be able to give me an idea of studio hire rates plus your teaching fee?

Thank you very much,
Sarah

Just wondering if anyone knows of a pole-dancing instructor you can hire for a hen’s party in Wellington??

Thanks,

Sarah
