INFORMED CONSENT
Face to face training
The aims of all Devon Pole Dance classes are to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, self-confidence, grace and style. The session will begin with a warm up, followed by a series of conditioning exercises or a recap of moves you have previously learned. We will then learn a new set of moves and tricks, finishing with a cool down, incorporating stretches to improve flexibility. Some weeks will incorporate choreography – or a routine.
Please notify the instructor before the session if you have sustained any injuries, illnesses or medical conditions or if you feel there are parts of the session you are unable to take part in – participation is completely voluntary.
All information given to the instructor is completely private and confidential under data protection legislation. Please ask as many questions as possible during the session, especially if you do not completely understand any move that is demonstrated.
As with all exercise, Devon Pole Dance classes carry an element of risk and you may experience some bruising or burn and feel slightly achy for a few days afterwards. This session has been designed to minimise those risks and with continued practice your body will become conditioned to the movements involved. If during the session you feel excessive pain or discomfort, please notify the instructor immediately.
