With more than eight years of street dance experience behind me \u2013 from weekly training at dance studios in Singapore<\/a> to performing at small showcases \u2013 I honestly thought I\u2019d have a head start at a beginner pole dance class. I\u2019m pretty confident about my coordination and strength, so I believed I could lift myself onto the pole without a struggle. But pole technique sits in its own calibre.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been wanting to try pole dance lessons in Singapore for a few years because of how closely they align with my dance style in terms of elegance, control, and strength. The style of dance I do is called Heels: it\u2019s a blend of jazz, contemporary and street dance techniques, all performed in heels to R&B music. We execute moves like pushing from a \u201cdolphin dive\u201d into a \u201cscorpion kick-up,\u201d which takes full-body engagement, so I assumed those strengths would translate easily onto the pole. Boy, I was wrong.<\/p>\n

The push-and-pull muscles needed to move around the pole completely surprised me. I felt like I was learning to dance all over again. What I thought would be a simple exploration session at the new Noir Collective<\/a> turned into a humbling (but fun) reminder that pole is a discipline of its own. In just one class, I learned the basics of grip, the distinction between static and spin mode, and a few foundational spins that demonstrated to me the technical nature of the sport.<\/p>\n
