What to call a class for women 30+
-
I think instead of focusing on Age, it would be best to categorize classes by fitness level…not age.
Fitness level or lack there of, is the biggest issue when taking a pole class. You can have a very strong fit 50 something, and a very unfit 20 year old!!
Here's a thought I had….. It may seem like those under 30 progress faster, but, that my just be because the girls who are drawn to a pole class are already fit. Those (regardless of age) who are not already in shape or do not work out regularly are, possibly less likely to sign up for a pole class because they feel pole is only for skinny women.
To be honest I also wouldn't want to take a class that's 30+ At 35 I am in MUCH better shape then I was at 19. So anyway…maybe try going with fitness levels instead of age. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i would call it a regular class. Almost everyone at the studio where i dance in Atlanta is in their 30's. We have very few girls in their early 20's, or even mid 20's. To me hearing 30+ or mature pole etc sounds like a low level class. As an advanced student, I wouldn't even consider it. You could offer a non invert class that is not introductory for people who can follow more complicated choreo and do combo spins etc and give it a clever name.

I agree with Veena on fitness level and not age.
I have to admit to you anything that says Red Hat, Silver Sneakers or anything that refers to being a "Senior"? I shy away from. I am just not ready for that label yet. Not that anything is wrong with it. I will be 60 next year but do not feel like a Senior at all.
I have a very cute, thin and very out of shape 24 year old daughter who is a Senior in College and has no strength at all. Her twin brother can whip around on my pole and do inverts. My 35 year old daughter would run for the hills if the class said 40 in the name.
Let us know what you decide.
