Services
The Pole Dance Academy was established in 2009 by sisters Maddie Sparkle and Michelle Shimmy. At the Pole Dance Academy, we believe the best way to get fit and stay in shape is to have fun doing it. We aim to promote pole dancing, stretching, handstands, choreography acro and floorwork as a great way to improve your self-confidence and your fitness.
You can still make a recurring booking of the same class each week so you are guaranteed to have a spot. Or you can select days and times which you know you will be able to attend (perfect for shift workers, if you are sick, or going on holiday etc). We still recommend booking the full term in advance, instead of booking week by week as you may miss out.

Our Alexandria studio is conveniently located on Botany Road, just a short walk from Redfern station. It has 3 large rooms with plenty of space for pole, choreography, stretching. 14 x 38mm brass poles. This room is perfect for Choreography classes, all level pole classes, and stretch classes that gives plenty of room for movement.
Meet some of the most inspirational, motivating and (let's face it) downright dazzling teachers you'll ever know. The Pole Dance Academy is proud to have some of the most talented pole dancers in Australia! Our teachers are so much more than fitness instructors: they're your coaches, support system and your guiding light to help you start living a stronger, healthier, more empowered life.

A beautiful studio with two spacious rooms for classes and a room dedicated for practice. There is also a cosy waiting area for students to mingle, stretch or rest while waiting for your classes to start. The bosses, Michelle Shimmy and Maddie Sparkle, as well as all instructors are friendly and helpful. Classes are always so much fun.
