Why do pole dancing classes sell out so quickly?
8 of the 18 studios take online bookings, and the cap is hard: one student per pole, sometimes two sharing. Courses that run as a block often fill the moment they open, and the waiting list is the normal way in. Beginner blocks tend to start on a fixed date rather than continuously.
