In fact, Your Pole Pal highly recommends using DVDs at home in addition to taking classes (assuming you also have a dance pole at home, of course!)
Why? Because it's a great way to supplement your once a week in-class experience so you don't forget what you're learning.
And of course if you don't have access to a pole studio for classes, books, online courses, or DVDs may be your only option for learning to pole dance. While no one tool is better than another, since this page focuses on DVDs, let's start with a couple of top picks.
Top DVD Recommendations
Here are a few of the most highly rated pole dancing DVDs available today. They feature champion performers and expert teachers, and come recommended not only by Your Pole Pal, but by students and learn-at-home enthusiasts everywhere.
Jamilla Deville - Art of Pole
A world champion pole dancer and in-demand performer and instructor, Jamilla's instructional DVD set has been enthusiastically received by the pole community.
There are lots of positive reviews of this set, as well as the individual DVDs, all of which are available through X-Pole. Jamilla's DVD are usually available on Amazon as well.
Alethea Austin
Alethea is an award winning pole dancer, performer, and teacher.
She is a pioneer in the development of pole dance as an art form, and helped to popularize it as a mainstream fitness activity.
Alethea is also a former US Pole Dance Champion.
Her DVD credits include Stretching for Pole (shown above), Sexy Fundamentals, Floorwork and Pure Splits. All of her DVDs are currently available through the X-Pole DVD store.
Remember, if you want to progress with your pole dancing, you'll need to work out more than once a week. That's why having a couple of DVDs at home can really help your progress.
DVDs are also a great motivator, and a way to get in some extra workouts. After all, it's always easier to practice along with a teacher in the room, even if she's only on your TV or computer screen.

More benefits of learning from DVDs
- A pole dance DVD is an affordable choice. At $15-$35 per DVD, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Most instructional DVDs will teach 12-20 moves for about the same price as one hour of group classes.
- Convenience. If you work crazy shifts, have small children, or have a lot of commitments that make it hard for you to attend a 6 or 8 week session of classes at the same time every week, using DVDs allows you to work pole dancing into your busy life when you have the time.
- Unlimited practice and review time. With group or private classes, the clock is always ticking. You have only so much time to learn and practice. With a pole dance DVD you are free to return to those parts you need to review over and over again.
To be fair, not everyone enjoys learning from DVDs, though this is usually more of an issue of having to learn at home vs taking classes in a studio.
Some people find it hard to get or stay motivated if they're not enrolled in a class session, so no matter which home study method they choose, it will always be a challenge to do the work.
A drawback for some potential home learners is that in order to practice effectively, you will need your own home dance pole. Though it is possible to start off without a pole, if pole dancing is something you enjoy and want to continue learning, you'll definitely need to buy a dance pole sooner rather than later..
A good quality dance pole is definitely an investment, so many people prefer to take a few classes first (if there's a studio in their area) or watch a few DVDS, to be sure they really enjoy the sport. Once you know you want to continue learning, investing in your own pole and a few DVDs is a great way to up your pole fitness game.
After all, there's nothing like a dance pole smack in the middle of your living room to give you the motivation to work out every day!
