Pole Dance DVDs

Home > Learn To Pole Dance > DVDs

For many people, a good pole dance DVD or two is a great way to learn, either as a primary method or in addition to group or private classes.

In fact, Your Pole Pal highly recommends using DVDs at home in addition to taking classes (assuming you also have a dance pole at home, of course!)

Why? Because it's a great way to supplement your once a week in-class experience so you don't forget what you're learning.

Top Recommendations

Here are a few of the most highly rated pole dancing DVDs available today. They feature champion performers and expert teachers, and come recommended not only by Your Pole Pal, but by students and learn-at-home enthusiasts everywhere.

There are lots of positive reviews of this set, as well as the individual DVDs, all of which are available through X-Pole. Jamilla's DVD are usually available on Amazon as well.

Alethea Austin Stretching for Pole DVD

Alethea is an award winning pole dancer, performer, and teacher. She is a pioneer in the development of pole dance as an art form, and helped to popularize it as a mainstream fitness activity. Alethea is also a former US Pole Dance Champion.

Her DVD credits include Stretching for Pole (shown above), Sexy Fundamentals, Floorwork and Pure Splits. All of her DVDs are currently available through the X-Pole DVD store.

Remember, if you want to progress with your pole dancing, you'll need to work out more than once a week. That's why having a couple of DVDs at home can really help your progress.

DVDs are also a great motivator, and a way to get in some extra workouts. After all, it's always easier to practice along with a teacher in the room, even if she's only on your TV or computer screen.

More benefits of learning from DVDs

  • A pole dance DVD is an affordable choice. At $15-$35 per DVD, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Most instructional DVDs will demonstrate 12-20 moves for about the same price as one hour of group classes.
  • Convenience. If you work crazy shifts, have small children, or have a lot of commitments that make it hard for you to attend a 6 or 8 week session of classes at the same time every week, using DVDs allows you to work pole dancing into your busy life when you have the time.
  • Unlimited practice and review time. With group or private classes, the clock is always ticking. You have only so much time to learn and practice. With a pole dance DVD you are free to return to those parts you need to review over and over again.
Smiling Pole Dancer

To be fair, not everyone enjoys learning from DVDs.

The main disadvantage of course, is that in order to practice effectively, you will need your own dance pole for dancing at home.

Good quality equipment isn't cheap, so many people prefer to take a few classes first, to be sure they really enjoy the sport.

Once you know you want to continue learning, investing in your own equipment and some DVDs is a great way to up your pole fitness game.

After all, there's nothing like a dance pole smack in the middle of your living room to give you the motivation to work out every day!
