Pole Dance Society

The Heriot Watt Pole Dance Society

Hello and welcome to The Heriot Watt University Pole Dancing Society. We offer classes to suit all levels of ability, from Beginners to Advanced levels. Our experienced instructors are well equipped to challenge you and keep you safe at all times.

 
AT HWUPDS, we value inclusivity and we celebrate our differences; no matter who you are and what you can do, we will greet everyone with open arms. Our love of pole unites us and brings us together in our journey to becoming empowered and gaining confidence. We believe that the pole community can be a support network, and to achieve that we offer many events such as socials, competitions and workshops, so that members can get to know one another.
 

Why Pole?

 
Today a lot of people get into pole dancing for weight loss or fitness reasons and, while it definitely helps in that respect, most people stay because of how much fun it is!  We love how strong, confident, and toned we have become thanks to it, and we wear our war wounds (pole bruises) with pride!
 

What to wear?

 
  • Beginners – leggings and t-shirt will be OK
  • Beginners Progression – shorts will be required as certain moves require skin contact
  • Intermediate/Advanced – pole shorts and cropped top will be required as skin contact around belly area will be used!
