Ladies, thank you so much for your advice and help. 🙂 I think I’ll look for a pair of transparent ones for my first, I’m sure they’ll be a sound investment as I know I’ll definitely use them loads and I am quite clumsy so if I bash them about a bit they should still look ok, hahaha!

London Dance Academy (http://www.laphq.co.uk/ or http://londondanceacademy.co.uk/) — The main studio is based just off Old Street and has drop-in practice classes on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Thursdays are usually quite popular so it’s best to book in advance if you can to save a spot. They have other drop-in classes such as Cardio Pole and Tone, Pole Conditioning and Aerial Pole Gymnastics as well as other stretching, yoga and conditioning classes, too.
Ecole de Pole (http://www.ecoledepole.co.uk/) — They have studios in London Bridge and Camden. I’ve never been here before but it looks like they have drop-in pole practice classes.

Tacha, ahh no, that sounds so annoying. :/ That's something to keep in mind though, thanks for the tip!

I love this song "Putting Out The Fire", the version used in the Cat People movie! I'd like to do a routine to this one day 🙂

You ladies are so lucky you have such supportive fathers! 🙂 My mum is totally cool with me doing pole and even wants to have a go at it (I'll be taking her when she comes to visit me next month!), but my dad is a little weirded out by it. When I first started poling, I told my mum first who in turn told my dad, who then told his sister in passing. I remember while we were having a conversation one day about what I'd be doing for the rest of the day, I was reluctant at first to say I'd be going to my pole dancing class, but I thought there was no point in hiding it as they already knew so I came out in the open and said I'd be going to my pole dancing class. That was when they both got extremely embarrassed and flustered, and told me I shouldn't say things like that because people might get the wrong impression of me. Huh?! With my dad, it's always the case of "if we don't talk about it, it means it never happened" whenever he finds the truth uncomfortable. Hahaha.
I'd like my dad to one day come to see me do a routine so at least he knows what it's all about, the only experience he has with pole dancers is when he's been to strip clubs with his brother so he he's always made that association in his head. But I think my dad and MrsNaughtywed's dad seem pretty similar in that they're both misogynistic/patriachal so we'll have to see!
Bring your dad for sure, I'm sure he'll be your biggest fan there! 🙂
