University of Essex Essex Pole Fitness Club Makes Contact

We are meeting Essex University Pole Fitness Club this week who contacted us out of the blue and asked could we volunteer to help the ABC? 

At the ABC we do get to communicate with a wide variety of people, but this contact really was a surprise. 

Here is some information about the club in their words:

We pride ourselves as being one of the friendliest and most welcoming clubs on campus. With more members than any other sports club at Essex, we provide a great environment for our members to have fun and learn the art of pole dancing!

Our classes are suitable for all abilities, from those who have never been on a pole before to those who are more experienced.
We are a relatively young sport but are spreading the word on pole dancing in a fun and safe environment!
 

*National Competition IUPC Champions; 2012 & 2013.
*Derby Day Winners; 2013 & 2014!
*South East Regional Champions; 2016.
*Gold Standard Award; 2016 & 2017.
*Nominees for Club of the Year; 2014, 2016 & 2017. 

It is an interesting artform. All the different dance moves on the pole have names. Pole dancing and pole fitness requires skills and moves not dissimilar to learning judo, ballet or any other formal, structured, discipline. 

More on this later, but we really appreciate their interest in helping us.  If you are an Essex University Student looking for a new activity we are sure they would be glad to hear from you.
