Embrace Studio

Why learn with us?

We love supporting people to get fit and active in a fun, nurturing space. We’ve answered some of your main concerns below to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in joining us.

Do you have reservations?

We offer regressions and progressions of each move, meaning you will never be bored and will be able to progress at your own pace
We are an all inclusive space and support our students wherever they come from
We have different pole sizes and finishes on our xpole lite stages, so whether you have small or large hands, sweat problems or dry skin, rest assured, you are catered for!
We use portable xpole x stage lites which have no weight limit. Whether you are petite or curvy, tall or small, we welcome all sizes! Our x poles are the only safety tested brand on the market
We accept from age 16 upwards and have no upper age cap, but encourage you to chat with us to see if it’s right for you
Pole dance has different forms- from floorwork to static tricks, spins to flowy goodness. By covering all these, we offer a variety of forms for you to learn until you find one that best fits with you
What if I’m not fit or strong? No problem! You build strength and fitness as you go. Better yet, sign up to Pole Fit to quicken those gains
Do I have to wear heels and minimal clothing? Absolutely not! Heels is not a necessity, and in fact for beginners we recommend you learn the basics first before stepping into those 6 inch beauties! If you’re more comfortable wearing a t-shirt instead of a sports bra, this is totally fine, but we do recommend you wear shorts

What are we offering?

We are currently running small block courses teaching pole dance and pole fitness in a temporary venue.

Embrace Studio aims to become the best alternative fitness studio within Thames- Hauraki. From pole dance, to aerial hoops and silks, yoga, stretch classes, to even belly dancing… you name it, we want to offer it! Embrace Studio aims to start catering other dance and fitness classes in 2022. While we know it’s a wee way off for all you eager followers, we want to make sure we do what’s right for YOU, by making sure everything is perfect. In the meantime, check out our block courses for pole fitness in the fees and schedule tab above which have already begun. We love keeping it local, so when the time comes we will be putting out the word to find local talented dance and fitness teachers to run classes at Embrace Studio. Sign up below to be the first to hear of any upcoming opportunities!
