THE BPDA is run and owned by world renowned Deb Riley,

​international judge and respected pole dancer.

​Here at the British Pole Dance Academy we perform more athletic moves such as climbs, spins and body inversions (upside down).  We teach on a routine basis so we don't lose the dancing side. We embrace the roots of Pole Dancing and strive for you to find your Inner Pole Queen, the graceful, sexy and confident YOU that has always begged to surface.

We see fitness as a by-product of Pole Dancing and do NOT run our classes like an aerobics class.  It’s sexy, fun and everything (and more) you thought Pole Dancing would be.  We structure our classes for everyone, from people who have never pole danced before, up to the most advanced instructors that want to better their skills and knowledge.

What is Pole Dancing?

Pole Dancing is a form of performance art - a combination of sensual dancing and gymnastics on a vertical pole.
​Although mostly associated with strip clubs, artistic pole dancing is increasingly used in a non-erotic cabaret/circus and stage performance environment.
