About Pride Pole Jam 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Founded in June 2025 by Bubblegum - a wee sapphic dancer based in Edinburgh - Pride Pole Jam is a community space that aims to provide a supportive, celebratory and judgement free space for pole dancers and artists who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our first jam was held on the 56th anniversary of stonewall. That message is still very relevant today, our community is still continuously having to fight for our rights. Pride pole jam hopes, with what feels like uncertain times, coming together to dance will help bring some sense of unity, joy, pride, however that may feel for you
What is a Pole Jam?
A pole jam is a space for pole dancers to come together meet one another, dance, try your favourite pole tricks, take photos/videos and socialise with other likeminded people.
Pride Pole Jam is for pole dancers who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We want to provide a safe welcoming space to hang out and be your authentic self and have fun together doing pole!
This jam is for all abilities and welcomes all styles of movement, however this isn't an instructor led class. You must have completed some pole/aerial classes before attending.
During the jam we will give participants the opportunity to perform. This is a low pressure relaxed environment for people to share, whether that be 20seconds, a whole song, or a short combo you’ve been working on. All are welcome to perform but there is no pressure and totally optional.
Included in the price of your ticket is the option for photos and videos from our professional photographer Mel! @mw_photographer
The studio is inside a Church building, with a flight of stairs to gain access to the studio. There are also stairs to 4 all-gender toilets. There is a small kitchen area with a kettle for making hot drinks
