Former participants

“I can definitely highly recommend ElitePole’s instructor education. As a student you will be guided through a well structured program by competent and sympathetic teachers, where there is both room for challenges, development and socialising. Overall an excellent experience that I definitely can recommend.”

Nynne T.

“An intensive and learningfull education, which prepares you well as a future instructor. You learn specific exercises, and how you carefully teach them. You will be teached in anatomy, which gives you a great understanding of how the body works, and you will progress in explaining exercises and prevent injuries. The teachers are competent, and I was in very safe hands.”

Louise J.

“I did not only learn to teach and become an instructor, but I actually also learnt new things about myself during the course. The feedback we got from the teachers was very constructive and useful, and my boundaries moved in a positive way, which led to that I now feel ready to have the full responsibility for a class and teach others.”

Nanna H.

“"Starting the instructor education is a bit like going to boot camp. It is hard, intense and you learn an awful lot about the body, tricks/spin and about presenting. It's a really cool experience! You become stronger, wiser about yourself and get to work closely with the girls on the team. The teachers are competent, passionate and always well prepared – everyone is in safe hands all the way. Huge recommendation from me"”

Mette J.

“Taking the Elite Pole Instructorship course was as exciting as challenging! From learning the details of body training, to exploring dynamic teaching techniques, every moment was amazing. I didn’t just level up my pole skills, but I also gained a deeper understanding of how each trick affects my body. It was intense, it was fun, and it definitely pushed me to become a better pole dancer!”

Lucia M.

“Elitepole's instructor training is both instructive and intense, and does also give room for development. You are taught thoroughly in various pole techniques and exercises, which have made me feel confident in teaching classes on my own. During training, you also form a close bond with the others on the education, which makes you feel comfortable during the training. It's a fantastic experience, so a huge recommendation from here”
