About Polestars

List of Life is a small, young and vibrant company that offers and develops activities and classes aimed at the stag and hen market. Stag events are offered under the brand name List of Life and Hen events under the brand Polestars. In addition, we also run a small dance school (under the Polestars brand) aimed at offering fitness through dance. Our fitness products focus on staying active and learning new dancing styles, while our party products are aimed at everyone primarily having fun while learning something new.

The company was started in 2003 when Katja wanted to learn to pole dance, but found that most of the “dancing schools” that offered these courses were in fact just strip clubs where the training was geared towards teaching how to make money from pole dancing and used by the clubs as a recruiting tool. Soon after Katja become an expert, Polestars popped up and become one of the first schools in the UK to teach pole dancing for fun and fitness, with none of the sleeze that is often associated with it. Soon after, we began offering other classes, such as burlesque and can-can. More than eight years later, and we now teach 20 different dancing styles, and offer a raft of other activities to more than 2000 hen, stag, birthday and corporate groups every year.

Expert Content & Articles

In our blog, we often write expert articles and advice about the things we know best – these are not short articles written in a day by an intern or member of the marketing department, but accurate true stories and how-to’s by our dance tutors, chocolatiers, art teachers, survival experts, and other expert members of staff. These contain a lot of anecdotal stories, and everywhere that figures are stated, we have taken the time to find research that backs up our claims.

These articles are available on the How to section of our blog. These snippets of our combined knowledge are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License, meaning that you can use, re-print, modify, and build on these articles as long as you credit us as your source. If you are publishing any of these articles (or derivatives of these articles) online, then you must include a link to our hen parties page on the article page also.

We also have a stock of articles that we have not yet released, and in some cases can offer publishers exclusive rights to some of our content, if you’d like to discuss this further, please contact our marketing department.
