I once had the same doubts about the online format, but Covid showed us how many things we can effectively do online.
Online classes allow you to repeat any move or sequence as many times as you need, follow your own pace, and organize your practice in the most efficient way for you.
You can revisit the same choreography and improve upon it, as you still have access to all the instructions—something you don't get in an offline class.
Online is perfect if you travel or work shifts because you can customize your training schedule to fit your needs.
Additionally, online classes are ideal for those who are shy or uncomfortable training with many others in the room.
You might not have an exotic pole teacher in your city or studio who aligns with your preferred style, or there may be no classes available at your level.
In many countries or cities, high-level instructors aren't easily accessible, and traveling for each class can be classes provide a great solution.
