Reposted from @thepolestudio UK So our first chan Reposted from @thepolestudio UK

So our first change in 2021 is the addition of our ONLINE instructor training courses written by @traceysimmondspole. We are continuing our face to face courses too and as of June we plan on holding one a month at either our Dorking, Surbiton and Basingstoke studios. 

But there are many benefits to choosing the online course option. If you are unable to attend a face to face course, you can instead study from home at your own pace. Online course students can usually complete The Pole Studio Beginner Level Training Programme Online in approximately 60 hours. Those who are experienced in pole fitness will not take as long to complete the course requirements. Students may take up to 24 months to develop their pole fitness skills, practice instructing and hand in all of their assessments. 

What assessments are required?

After you have studied, practised and perfected your techniques, it’ll be time to take your multiple-choice test and begin recording your final assessments!

The final assessments can be subdivided into three parts:
Final Multiple-Choice Test
Written Class Plans
Practical Assessments (Skills Test presentations & teach a class!). 

Who are we accredited by?

EMD UK
The PoleSafe Federation
Pole Dance Community
Register of Exercise Professionals South Africa (REPSSA )

My final showcase at #thepolestudiosa took place y My final showcase at #thepolestudiosa took place yesterday evening. 

With little time to prepare it was a fairly impromptu celebration, but momentous nonetheless. Although the showcase itself marks the end of an era, nothing is more important than the memories I have from the previous decade. 

Thank you to the new and 'old' faces for joining me for one very special tear-jerking evening. 

We celebrated the studio's 11th year as well as the handing over of the studio to its new owners @alisonjaneballard and @jade.100 - The official handover is on 1st June. The Pole Studio will become Flow Studios! 

Thank you to our performers who made time in their busy schedules to create beautiful routines. @taniabecker_lovepole
@christiencronje
@studiosherize
Alison, Amelia & Anjolize, Vuyo, Amri and Olivia. 

We celebrated in style with cake, Tequila and wine from plastic cups. 
Thank you @annasmithphotographysa I'm so happy you made it. It wouldn't have been the same without you. When I'm old and senile I will have your beautiful photos to remember my years at the studio. 

Thank you to my special helpers. It's impossible for me to remember what to do at these events, so I'm grateful for a few cool-headed people to sort things out. Kaz & Ockie.....(Alison & Tania).
