Pole Dancing

As one of the biggest sports clubs at NTU, we have something for everyone. A membership involves access to as many training sessions as you would like. We cater from beginner to advanced. With our flexible approach to training, you are not obliged to come every single week like some other clubs, so if you can’t make it one week it is not an issue.

For those who wish to take their training to a more serious level, we offer the opportunity to compete at 3 competitions each year, including one that we host here at NTU! Our most recent competition, Angels of the North (Newcastle) yielded wins in every category: 1st place in beginner, 1st and 3rd place in intermediate, 2nd place in advanced, and 1st and 3rd place in group.

We also have showcases, where you have the freedom to create any routine you like. From a 30 second chilled out dance to a 4 minute piece with flips and tricks, if you can perform it, then we provide the stage!

As well as coached classes, we also have committee led sessions within our timetable, which are open practice sessions where there is no coach present. These are invaluable for practicing what you’ve learnt previously, and tend to be slightly less busy than coached classes.

Trent Pole also offers a range of social activities, so you can get to meet more people outside of classes. Our socials range from skill swaps with other clubs, meals out, and movie nights to of course the famous Ocean night out.

Training takes place at City Dance studio, the Clifton Sports Hub and PoleKat Aerial Arts Academy. Timetable to come soon!

Our coach is Alicia Domenica, who performs nationwide and also dabbles in other aerial arts like hoop and silks. Check out her Instagram for more.

How to join

Annual subs are £120 which gives you access to as many or as little classes as you’d like all year. Memberships purchased at any point during the academic year are only valid until the end of term 3.
