Group Classes

At Soul to Pole, we welcome all levels, from complete beginners to advanced polers. Each class lasts one hour and includes a warm-up to prepare your body and reduce the risk of injury, a main lesson with focused instruction tailored to your level, and a cool-down with gentle stretches to improve flexibility and aid recovery.

Private Lessons

We offer one-on-one and two-on-one private lessons, customized to your goals. Whether you want to refine techniques, learn choreography, or prefer individual attention, private lessons provide a personalized approach.

Open training & studio hire

Our studio is available for independent training outside of class times. To book, you’ll need to have attended a class with us before and provide proof of insurance. Open training is shared, while studio hire gives you the space to yourself.

Who we are

Welcome to Soul to Pole; we’re so glad you’ve found us! Soul to Pole is a vibrant and inclusive Pole Dance studio located in the heart of Gossops Green, Crawley, West Sussex. Founded in early 2019 by Aimee Ledger and Dawn Davies, Soul to Pole was born from a shared passion for pole dancing and a mutual love for rescue dogs. From that moment, we knew we were the perfect business partners! At Soul to Pole, we pride ourselves on creating a safe, fun, and welcoming community where everyone is encouraged to thrive—regardless of weight, gender, or fitness level. As an inclusive space, and with one of our co-founders being disabled, we understand the importance of tailoring our classes and private lessons to accommodate a variety of learning styles, abilities, and physical needs. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced poler, we can’t wait to welcome you to our supportive and empowering community!

    CHELSEA

  • "Soul to Pole has quickly become my second family since I started my pole journey last year. It’s an inclusive, supportive and safe space and the best studio in Crawley."

    FLAVIA

  • "I've been coming to Soul to Pole since opening- it truly is a little gem in the world of pole! The class and quality of instructors is A*, the studio is clean and well maintained, the classes are brilliant but the thing I like most is that it's emotionally safe. Whilst many studios aspire to be a safe, inclusive space, Soul to Pole can proudly say they achieve it. I recommend S2P whenever anyone asks where I go to pole"

    KATE

  • “Amazing studio, which feels like a family due to the support of the other students, as well as the instructors! Every season you learn something new and plenty of regressions and progressions are provided. The instructors are excellent at unlocking your true potential!”

    SANDRA

  • “Have been coming here for years. My fave studio in Crawley and surrounding areas - you wouldn't catch me anywhere else! It really is inclusive, range of size and ages of staff and students. All genders welcome. Really knowledgeable instructors, wide range of classes. Chill and friendly vibe.”

    JADE

  • “Couldn't recommend this place more! Everyone is so welcoming, supportive and fun, it really is a highlight of the week. There's different classes which cater for all abilities and styles. The teachers are great! They ensure you have strong foundation moves which I think is really important and challenge you each week with progressions to really push yourself. I feel stronger each week and love conquering new moves that I would never thought I'd be capable of doing. Thanks girls!”

    SOPHIE

  • “I joined Soul to pole last year because I was looking for a class that combined fitness with my love of contemporary dance. I was welcomed in straight away and before long my confidence started to return and I returned to tricks. Every single instructor embodies a supportive, empowering and feel good attitude and in turn they pass it on to us students. They have helped me feel less conscious of my fuller figure. Soul to pole is a family and I am so grateful I found it.”

    VICKY

  • “I recently started coming to soul to pole after doing pole fitness for a few years I wanted to learn dance routines! I was made to feel comfortable straight away and the dances are so easy to pick up and is honestly the best feeling! Can’t get enough of them! Such an amazing group of girls and a very unique fitness alternative to the normal! Highly recommend.”

    LAUREN

  • “I have done a few private dance lessons with Aimee, she is very professional, friendly and I love her routines! Aimee teaches the routines really well so you can pick up the moves easily. If you can’t do a move like the splits, she changes the routine slightly so you can do something that still looks just as good! I have enjoyed her lessons so much I have booked another three. I think her dances are incredible, flow really nicely and are so much fun to learn. She gives me a lot of confidence that what I do looks good and I feel comfortable dancing with her. I can’t wait to learn more dances with Aimee!”

    JEN

  • “Soul to Pole is the best!! A welcoming, inclusive studio with an incredible family feel about it. From the first lesson I had there, everyone made me feel so welcome and I’ve made some great friends since joining. I love all the variety of the classes and each one is so much fun. The instructors are always so supportive and really get to know you so they can challenge you/adapt when needed. My biggest regret is not starting sooner.”

    LAURA

  • “I love this studio. Started classes here after having a baby (and a break from pole) and going to two classes a week helped me build up strength quickly. Great instructors, they have a good range of classes for everything you need and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Very supportive and just a nice vibe always.”
