ABOUT PIVOT POLE STUDIO
Imagine a place where every body is not only welcome but celebrated; a space to leave your stresses at the door and enjoy movement without judgement.
Pivot Pole Studio is a bijou movement studio nestled in the former 1940s Crawford's Biscuit Factory. We proudly stand as a pro–sex workers’ rights and anti-diet culture studio, because we believe movement is for everyBODY. We welcome all ages, shapes, sizes, abilities, and genders from absolute beginners to professionals — supporting you to grow mentally and physically in ways that feel empowering and sustainable.
Improve your stamina, flexibility, coordination, confidence, and muscle endurance while having fun with certified, experienced instructors. With two beautiful studios, we offer diverse classes six days a week, plus regular workshops led by acclaimed pole artists from around the world. Team PPS is dedicated to providing safe, inclusive, and progressive classes designed to challenge you just the right amount, meeting you exactly where you are today — without pressure to shrink, change, or conform. Let’s get out of your head and into your body. You might just unleash the dancer you never knew was inside.

Our ethos & promise to you
INCLUSIVE
Irrespective of your age, gender, race, sexuality, fitness level, shape or size, we have a class for you to enjoy in a non-judgemental, safe and encouraging environment. In our eyes, Pole is not a "one size fits all" sport. We pride ourselves on creating a really friendly community where Members from all walks of life can support, encourage, and get to know one another in a place they look forward to visiting each week!
ACCESSIBLE
We believe everyone should be able to experience the fun, freedom and expression of movement. Because of this we aim to make our classes and facilities as available and affordable to our students as possible. This is possible through regular class options and discounts with the more classes you want to attend. We also offer Welcome Consultations for those feeling nervous and want to meet us first, as well as having a handy access guide on our website.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE
There's only one you, and how wonderful is that?! We know that all bodies are good bodies and all bodies can pole. Whatever shape or size you are, you are welcome at Pivot Pole Studio. We make it our personal mission to nurture body neutrality/ acceptance, and confidence within all our Members. You're awesome just as you are, and we'd love to get you out of your head and into your body. So let's shed that narrative that we are too unfit, weak, inflexible or unworthy and let's get going!
RESPECT
Respecting each other, our Team & space makes for nothing but a good time! There is also zero debate at Pivot Pole Studio about Pole being rooted in stripping & sx work. We stand on the shoulders of giants, and see ourselves as guests in this culture and strive to educate our students and ourselves on how to honour the roots of pole, learn from pioneers in the industry, listen, learn, support and help destigmatise sx work. Not only do we promise our Team will be respectful of everyone who walks through the door, but it's our expectation that all our clients are respectful to one another. We have a zero tolerance policy against any form of bullying/ harassment and any displays of sexism/ homophobia/ transphobia/ ableism/ fatphobia / racism/ cultural discrimination. Anyone unable to conduct themselves with respect will be asked to leave.
