Bats on Pole

Bats on Pole is at Avenida Fernão de Magalhães 208, third floor left, in central Coimbra, and is the school of Rita Araújo, who created Portugal's first pole dance practitioners' club. The pitch is clear: guiding women who hate gyms to discover pole dance, from Bat Girl to Bat Teacher, and the school says it has already transformed over a thousand students.

Pole fitness and exotic classes, flexibility and workshops, with timetable and prices on the website. Five minutes from Coimbra-B station.
