The experts of the pole dancing classes Castle Hill always suggest to the beginners that if they are struggling to cope up with a particular move it’s always best to ask for help from their instructor. Let’s check out some of the fabulous pole dancing moves that you can follow.

- Place your strong, inside hand on the pole in front of you at shoulder height and place your weaker hand across your body and onto the pole above it
- Stretch your legs up and hook over the pole as you would for a normal invert on the pole
