Pole Dance Studios in Copenhagen: What's Available Right Now

If you've searched "pole dance Copenhagen" recently, you may have noticed the results aren't quite as up to date as they should be. A few studios that used to be part of the city's scene, including Rebel Studio and House of Pole, have closed in recent years. What's left is a smaller but still varied set of options, each with its own approach to class style, dress code, and teaching. This post is a straightforward, non-promotional summary of what's currently out there — useful whether you're a total beginner or looking to switch studios.

The Studios, Side by Side

The table below compares the four studios currently active in Copenhagen on a few practical points: where they're located, whether heels are part of the training, how they handle outfits, how varied their class offering is, and how many different teachers you're likely to encounter.

"Class diversity" refers to whether a studio offers more than tricks-only training — heels classes, non-pole formats, flexibility, or other aerial disciplines. "Teacher diversity" refers to the number of different instructors teaching across the schedule.

A Studio Landscape Worth Double-Checking

One detail worth flagging directly: Nordic Pole, currently located in the city centre, is scheduled to close in September. If you're reading this after that point, it's worth confirming directly with them — or checking whether they've relocated — before counting on their schedule. Because studios in a scene this size open, move, and close fairly often, it's generally a good idea to check a studio's own site or socials for the latest hours and pricing before showing up, regardless of which one you're considering.

Pole Republic — Frederiksberg

Pole Republic keeps its focus on pole and aerial work without heels classes on the schedule, and it asks for conservative outfits during training. It's a fit for people who want to concentrate on tricks and aerial technique in a more covered-up setting, and its roster of teachers is on the larger side.

Elite Pole — Nordvest and Kastrup

Elite Pole runs out of two locations, Nordvest and Kastrup, and offers heels classes alongside a broad spread of other formats — its class diversity is the highest of the four. Its outfit policy sits in the middle: thongs and very revealing bikinis aren't permitted, but there's more room than at Pole Republic. It also has a large number of different teachers across its timetable.

The Art of Motion — Brønshøj

The Art of Motion allows any outfit and offers heels classes, with a moderate range of class types beyond core pole training. Of the four, it currently has the smallest number of different teachers on rotation, which may mean a more consistent teaching style but fewer instructors to choose between.

Nordic Pole — City Centre (closing September)

Nordic Pole, based centrally, also allows any outfit and includes heels in its offering, with a moderate class variety and a middle-of-the-road number of teachers. As noted above, it's set to close in September, so its long-term availability is limited.

The right studio isn't the "best" one — it's the one whose rules, teachers, and vibe actually fit what you're looking for.

None of these studios is objectively better than another — they're simply built around different priorities, from outfit freedom to class variety to the number of instructors you'll train under. The best way to know which one fits is still to try a class yourself and see how the room feels.
