Pole Fitness Near Me in Lavender: Inside Mauve's King George's Avenue Studio
Mauve Dance Studio teaches pole artistry from King George's Building near Lavender, with $15 one-hour trials, $250 eight-week courses and a year-end Term 6 that starts on 2 November 2026.
Mauve Dance Studio does not sit in a mall or an office tower. It occupies a unit at 326D King George's Avenue, inside King George's Building, Singapore 208567, a building between Lavender and Bendemeer stations. The studio sums itself up in one line, a home for pole artistry, and it runs strictly by appointment, so a pole fitness near me search that ends here should end with a booking in the Mauve app rather than a walk-in.

A Studio Built Around Choreography
Most Singapore studios sell pole as a workout first. Mauve leans the other way. Its level courses pair tricks with a full dance routine each term, and its signature course, Pole Mauves, is a choreography class named after the studio itself. Students who would rather drill tricks without a routine have a separate tricks-only track, so the two styles never have to share a class.
The ladder is clearly written out. Pole Starters teaches upright tricks on a spinning pole plus floorwork, with basic inversions near the end. Pole Fundamentals is where the handstand variations begin. Intermediate, Pre-Advanced and Advanced follow, and Pre-Advanced openly names the tricks it is conditioning you for: shoulder mounts, the brass monkey and the Ayesha.
The Teachers Behind the Poles
The team page reads like a small family album. Val started pole in 2012 after years as a child rhythmic gymnast and still prefers flowing on a spinning pole. Jen had no athletic background at all before her first pole trial more than ten years ago, and she now teaches Pole Starters through Intermediate. Rosalind began in 2021 and teaches the beginner and Fundamentals levels.
Perlyn and Vicki fill out the roster, the latter with a background in aerial hoop and flying trapeze. Several instructors list competitions and corporate performances on their profiles, which matters at Mauve because so much of the syllabus is about putting a finished routine together rather than just collecting tricks.
How the $15 Trial Works
A pole trial costs SGD 15 for one hour and is pitched at people thinking about joining Pole Starters, not at one-off hen parties. The October calendar listed trials on Saturdays at 3:20pm and Sundays at 4:30pm, with Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November moving to 11am. Each person may book one trial, and duplicate bookings are not refunded.
Trials are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled, though one reschedule is allowed. Classes only run if enough people sign up, so Mauve may offer another slot if yours does not fill. Anyone aged 16 and below needs a signed parental consent form, which the studio emails on request and wants handed in at the first class.
Course Prices and Term Dates
A standard eight-week pole or tricks course costs SGD 250, a four-week course is SGD 140, and a four-week Stretch and Conditioning block is SGD 120. Early-bird pricing brings a single eight-week course down to SGD 230 when registration first opens, and multiple full-term courses booked by email come to SGD 450 for two or SGD 640 for three.
Full-time students get 30 percent off the full-term price of SGD 250, but not on mini terms, workshops or stretch. Term 5 runs from 31 August to 25 October 2026, and the year-end Term 6 is a shorter six-week block from 2 November to 13 December 2026. NUS students go through NUS Aerial Sports instead of booking directly.
Bridging Courses Between Levels
Mauve also runs bridging courses for students who are not quite ready to move up. Tricks Pre-Fundamentals is for Pole Starters graduates and revisits core moves before inversions become routine; its listed tricks include the floater, backstag, chair, pull-up sit, sitting V and a basic invert to ankle grab.
Tricks Pre-Intermediate does the same job one step higher, for students who are already confident at Fundamentals. It works on the plank, invert V, outside leg hang, aerial invert and layback. Taking one of these for a term is a cheaper way to fix a weak trick than repeating a whole choreography level, and the instructors can tell you which one fits.
Rules That Catch Beginners Out
Mauve is strict about levels. Book a class above your level and an instructor can move you down, which costs a SGD 20 admin fee, and the same fee applies to any schedule switch after registration. Existing students need clearance from their instructor before stepping up a level, so ask at the end of term rather than after you have paid.
Refunds are rare. Everything is final, and refunds approved for injury or illness come back as studio credit, with a medical certificate required by Week 7 of the term. Missed classes can be made up within the same term in a class of the same level or lower, if there is space.
Private Hours and Parties
Private sessions start at SGD 130 for one hour and SGD 190 for ninety minutes, with packages of three, five and ten hours at SGD 380, SGD 630 and SGD 1,200. Each private slot covers up to three people, and every extra person costs SGD 40 per hour. Bookings close 24 hours ahead, and you lose the credit if you cancel later than that.
Mauve also runs bachelorette parties, birthdays and corporate sessions on pole, chair or both, quoted by email. If you only want a single fun hour with friends, this is the route the studio itself recommends, since trials are reserved for people planning to continue.
Around King George's Avenue
King George's Building is easiest to reach from Lavender on the East-West Line or Bendemeer on the Downtown Line, and the studio's own directions list bus stops at Pek Chuan Building and Hock Seng Building on Kempas Road and opposite Aperia Mall on Kallang Road. Drivers can park at the building, with overflow along King George's Avenue next to Horne Road.
The neighbourhood rewards an early arrival. Jalan Besar's prewar shophouses and coffee shops are a short walk west, and Aperia Mall on Kallang Road is close by for a drink before class. Eat something light, because the Pole Starters routine ends with your first inversions.
