Intro to Pole

Prerequisites: None

You MUST take this class prior to any other if you do not have pole experience. This class is an overview of foundational movements in pole dance. Learn basic moves accessible to all levels of strength and/or flexibility. Students should bring water and a small towel to wipe down the pole during class. Shorts may be ideal for some parts of class, but any comfortable workout attire will do. 

Choreography for Beginners (aka "Dance for Baby Deer")

Prerequisites: Intro to Pole, willingness to get weird​

Description: this class is for anyone who wants to learn the bare baby basics of how to dance. We'll combine elements of musicality with some entry-level choreography on static pole to get you feeling more comfortable and confident in your ability to move and groove. Expect across the floor exercises, weird brain games, classic pole jams, connecting with music and with your own body, a little floorwork, and a lot of fun.

Heels: optional but encouraged, definitely bring socks 

Spinal Waves

A special 4-week class through June ONLY. This all-level 4-week series is focused on spinal undulations and body waves. Come learn the foundations of isolation and undulation and get your body waves ooey-gooey.

Floorwork 

Prerequisites: None

Class description: Grounded dance and choreography. May involve any variety of styles including slinky, leg wavey movement, undulations, foundational tricks such as back and forward rolls, and the occasional cathartic thrashing to 90's nostalgia music. Students will need full-coverage clothing, socks or heels, and KNEE PADS ($8 at the front desk). 

Flexibilty

Prerequisites: None

Class description: This is a stretching class. There is no pole involved, however we strongly recommend supplementing your pole practice with flexibility classes in order to prevent injury and make more pole moves accessible to you.

Open Pole/Office Hours

Prerequisites: Pole experience

This is not a class. Open Pole is a time when students may practice elements of pole dance that they have been formally taught in classes. An instructor is available during this time for spots and safety, but will not be leading any warm-up or lesson plan. 

Policies: No trying things off youtube, instagram, or other video platform. Students may not teach or attempt to teach other students. Use a crashmat when possible.
