BEGINNERS
Looking for beginner classes only? Scroll down to see the Beginner schedule which shows Intro to Pole and Level I classes only.
Are you a beginner and wondering where to start and which pole classes to take? What is the difference between Series and Drop ins? Here are some answers!
BEGINNER PATH
Series vs Drop ins
Series classes are a set of classes that a student registers for which occur at the same time each week. Each lesson builds from the previous session in order to help students progress in their practice. Drop in classes are single classes that students can register for. Drop in classes are also designed to help students progress while also allowing for schedule flexibility (although it is recommended to take a full series or be enrolled in the same series as you are registering for Drop ins).
Series + Drop Ins at once
Many students will register in both a series and drop in classes at the same time. Series classes only meet once a week so registering for drop in classes allow students to get into the studio more often and progress quicker.
REGISTERING FOR CLASSES
We use a scheduling software called Momence. The best way to setup an account is to register for a class using the calendar links above and follow the prompts to create an account. Then you can access your account by using the app or on a computer/tablet. Here's a video on how to login, book classes and manage your account via Momence.com. You can download the app on Apple App Store & Google Play
POLE JOURNEY
Most* of our students start with either an Intro to Pole /Taster Drop In class or Intro to Pole series. A Taster is a 60 min class which gives you a “taste” of beginner pole fundamentals. Intro to Pole can be taken as drop in classes or as a series of four 60 minute classes which includes everything you learn from a Taster and adds progressions to those skills over a 4 week series, building on previous class sessions.
Once a student completes Intro to Pole, they usually move to a Level 1 series. This is a six week series of 75 min classes. After this most students will continue with drop in classes until they have met the prerequisites for a Level 2. Level 3 and above are all drop in classes.
After a Level 1 series is completed, students are eligible to take specialty classes including Low Flow, Choreo, Sensual, Sensual San Heels as they will have the pole foundations required for these classes.
*If you have experience with other forms or dance or movement you may email us for permission to start with Level I.
