The Pole Dance Community (PDC) is an advisory body for the UK and international pole dancing industry. We offer advice to pole dance schools and individuals who choose to pole dance for fitness and recreation. Pole dancing is a modern day phenomenon undertaken by both men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes.
The Pole Dance Community consists of a group of independent pole dance schools, pole dancing instructors, pole dance competition promoters and pole dancing photographers who democratically follow a code of conduct and who work together to provide best practice.
The Pole Dance Community site is administered by Sid and Sam Remmer.
The Pole Dance Community (PDC) provides a series of codes of conduct promoting good practice within the pole dancing industry.
Compliance with these codes allows industry professionals to proudly display the PDC Approved logo.

Can anyone join the PDC website?
Yes, anyone who has an interest in pole dancing can join the site as an interested individual. The PDC will remove any members who do not follow the PDC Code of Conduct or who upload inappropriate content.

If you are a student then you can get advice on choosing a school, and you can report any bad experiences you have had as a student. You can check out the fabulous PDC approved videos rather than spending hours trawling through YouTube. You can also view our free on-line pole dancing syllabus and use our Pole Dance Shop to buy tried and tested pole dancing products.
How do I become a PDC approved school?
To become a PDC approved school you simply click the 'Register Your School' link and follow the onscreen instructions. You may apply online or by post. There is a one-off £10 application fee which covers the PDC's time taken to review your application. Please note that this is a non-refundable fee, regardless of the outcome of your application.
Once your application has been approved, you will be able to use the PDC logos and will have access to the Approved Schools only forum. You will also qualify for the PDC instructors insurance. As an Approved school, you may integrate the AAP syllabus and conduct gradings if you wish.
The PDC shop only features products that are tried and tested by established pole dancers. All PDC products are genuine so you will not find fake x-poles or fake consumables.
I live outside the UK, can I buy items from the PDC shop?
Yes, we can ship to almost any destination, just e-mail us to let us know what items you are interested in, we give you a free quote and then if you want to proceed with an order we can send you a payment request. On receipt of payment we can ship your items straight out to you.
I want to register to join the site but live outside the UK, can I still join?
Yes, anyone can register. The site was originally set up for the UK market only but we soon realised that the site was of interest to the international market.

Yes, as long as you are abiding by the PDC code of conduct for approved dance schools then you can register with the PDC, we have already approved schools in the United States and Singapore as they have demonstrated compliance with our codes.
