So just over 6 years from when I wrote the original blog, here are my current thoughts on what differentiates Old School from other styles of pole danc ..read more

Hello IPDA Community, I am writing this post to share some bittersweet but exciting news. As you all know, I have been a very active member of the pole dance community, here in Ireland and internationally, since 2006. I set up this company at the end of 2010 with the vision of creating a beautiful studio space where I could teach classes. Since then, IPDA has grown into a wonderful community and I am very proud of all that it has become. Now, my time as a pole dance studio owner is coming to a natural end. As of April 17th, I will be passing on the torch to my colleague Ella Lockhart  ..read more

We’re shining the spotlight on Laura this month, as someone who is not just making great progress but spreads positivity among our community. Laura has been a part of our community for more than 7 months now. She says that she enjoys her pole dancing classes so much as they enable her to uncover “the side of sensuality and fountains of feminine energy” in her. Pretty cool, right? You can read her story in her own words below: “I wanted to connect with my femininity and power of sexuality because it seemed like I had lost touch with both of these vital aspects.
