Pole Dance & Fitness Classes

Nurturing your confidence, sparking your creativity, and helping you to discover a sense of freedom!

Hi 😊, my name is Laurinda and I’m passionate about mental health, travelling and pole fitness of course!

My love for empowering others through dance and movement came about in 2010, when I began working as a Dance Tutor and had the joy of teaching Afro-Caribbean dance to adults and children for three years. My lessons involved encouraging self-expression and building confidence in students, in a welcoming and safe space. 

I discovered pole fitness at the end of 2018 because I wanted to find another way to stay active and I fell in love with it from my first lesson! I trained in pole fitness for three and a half years before becoming a qualified pole instructor in 2022, and currently teach Beginner 1, Beginner 2 and Intermediate pole fitness classes every week at The Pole Studio in London, as well as private pole fitness lessons, while I continue to train.

My style of teaching includes creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels respected, safe and free to explore their potential. My aim is to nurture your confidence, spark your creativity, and help you to discover a sense of freedom during lessons (with a few laughs along the way)! My mission is to make pole fitness enjoyable, fulfilling, and fun for each student that comes through the door, regardless of background or personal fitness goals 😊.

Lessons include a blend of strength and conditioning with pole dance combinations to keep you moving!

One of the things I adore about pole fitness is the positive impact it has on both physical and mental well-being. Pole fitness can build strength, enhance flexibility, boost confidence, and is a great stress-reliever! Pole fitness also unlocks a new way to express yourself and is a great blend of challenging yet fun! I'm always excited to help people experience the benefits of pole fitness and to empower students as I teach, whether you’re already on your pole journey or just beginning!

Thank you for reading, and I hope to see you on the pole soon!

    I absolutely love the beginners course with Laurinda! She is awesome. She demonstrates the moves and gave 3 variations of each so that every level could participate. Laurinda give individual attention to each student and she is super encouraging. The overall vibe of the place is always warm and welcoming. It's a really great full body workout, so much fun & I would recommend to everyone!

    My Tuesday pole classes lead by Laurinda are definitely my favourite part of my week!

    Laurinda creates such a fun and positive atmosphere so you never want the sessions to end. She breaks down each move super clearly so it’s easy to have a go yourself and before you know it , you’re doing moves you didn’t think you’d ever achieve. There’s never any judgment, only tons of support and encouragement. The routines are really enjoyable, you completely forget it’s basically a workout. I LOVE it ♥️

    I tried my first pole class with Laurinda and I’m so glad that I had booked her class. She explained every movement in detail and was so encouraging to every single student, not to mention the welcoming and friendly atmosphere that her classes have along with an upbeat and fun playlist. Book a session with Laurinda, she definitely won’t disappoint!
