What the filters mean
Every tag on POLEMAD means one specific thing, so a search returns what you actually asked for. Studios pick their own tags — these definitions are what they’re agreeing to.
Classes
- Spin
- Spinning-pole technique taught as a distinct class or focus
- Static
- Static-pole technique taught as a distinct class or focus
- Flying pole
- Dynamic spinning-pole work — momentum-driven drops, swings and big airborne combos
- Exotic
- Heels-based floorwork and spins, sensual movement focus
- Heels
- Classes taught in heels — for heels-only choreo or flow, separate from exotic
- Skrippa
- Club-rooted stripper style — the tricks, transitions and attitude the style came from
- Contemporary
- Lyrical, expressive pole with dance-technique emphasis
- Floorwork
- Floor-based movement taught as its own class, not as a warm-up
- Base work
- Movement at the base of the pole — low flow, drops, transitions in and out of the floor
- Flexibility
- A dedicated flexibility or splits class, not stretching at the end of pole
- Conditioning
- Dedicated strength or pole-specific conditioning class
- Choreo / flow
- Linking moves into a set routine — combos and transitions danced as one sequence, not drilled in isolation
