About Swansea pole and aerial academy
About
Our story
Our Mission
Alan and Rosie founded Swansea Pole and Aerial because they loved pole dancing so much, they wanted to make a business where others could learn to enjoy themselves as much as they did.
Swansea Pole Academy is the city’s only dedicated academy for high-quality pole dance tuition. Our mission is simple: to help you discover the joy of pole dancing, build confidence, and grow stronger both physically and mentally.
Founded by passionate instructors, Swansea Pole Academy has seen tremendous growth. Although we said goodbye to our co-founder Rosie in 2022 as she moved to Manchester to pursue a new career, her energy and love for the sport continue to inspire our journey.
We believe that pole dance is for everyone, regardless of age, shape, or fitness level. You don’t need to be super fit or strong to start—there’s something here for every level, and every goal. Our classes allow you to build fitness, skills, and confidence at a pace that suits you.
You’ll be amazed at the strength, flexibility, and self-assurance you gain along the way, all while having fun. Whether you’re looking to try something new, develop your skills, or challenge yourself in new ways, Swansea Pole Academy is here to support and celebrate every step of your journey.
