Want to own your own Pole Studio?

We are looking for dedicated Pole, Fitness and Dance women & men to expand our brand with the opening of MORE Ecole de Pole studios around the world! We are open to everyone being part of the pole movement so men and women alike can own an Ecole de Pole!

We want YOU to find your place in the pole community by opening your own Ecole de Pole Studio in your city to run as your own baby, where you can build a fabulous friendly environment for training with the tools to provide an unparalleled pole syllabus, breed amazing dancers and be a successful pole-trepreneur too!   

Is this you?  Have you always dreamed of owning your own studio & being the Pole Boss?!  Then we want YOU NOW!!!  We are looking for people in cities across Australia – the United Kingdom (outside of London – sorry we already have our flagship studio there! But any other region or towns please get in contact if you want to be the next of our UK studios!) – or Ireland, Scotland – Europe – Middle East – New Zealand – Hong Kong – Malaysia – other areas in Asia – USA or Canada!! Anywhere where there are polers in the world, we think there should be access to the services and training offered by the Ecole de Pole brand so we want you to help us make that happen around the globe!  Become one of the crew and help us bring the services and standard of training that Ecole de Pole offers to more pole addicts everywhere!  McLucas Mafia to take over the world one pole at a time!

Owning your own business is hardwork – we won’t lie… But nothing is more rewarding! It does take a special kind of person to be responsible for EVERYTHING though and to build on the integrity and values of the Ecole de Pole brand so far – so you will need to apply and tell us why YOU want to own an Ecole de Pole, and prove a few things to us (like your willingness to name your first child Justine… kidding!!! But you will need to be able to cough up the initial licensing fees and have access to finance the building of a new studio and rent etc to start up.. that’s the serious bit… then we can play upside down happily ever after and invert around the globe visiting our sister schools and sharing the pole love the EDP way!) Ok it’s not all roses and puppies (though we do have a herd of canine mascots at all our studios so far… anyone know of Chilli at EDP London or Missy at EDP Singapore?)
