CLASS descriptions
TASTER · 60 MIN · $20 (BEGINNER)
If you have never tried pole dancing before and are curious to experience it without committing to a series, this is the class for you! This fun one-hour class introduces a variety of basic pole dance movements including dance steps, poses and spins. You might even get to try climbing or sitting on the pole! This class provides a sampling of what our beginner pole classes have to offer.
prerequisite: none
INTRO TO POLE · 4 WEEKS/60 MIN · $75 (BEGINNER)
This 4-week course introduces students brand new to pole to the fundamental movements of pole dance and pole fitness. Basic spins, dance steps, conditioning exercises, floorwork and beginning level tricks will be covered as you learn to dance around, with and away from the pole. Build body awareness, strength and stamina all while having fun in a playful environment. (ie: fireman, back hook, dip spin, strong hold fan, sit)
prerequisite: none
LEVEL I · 6 WEEKS/90 MIN · $150 (BEGINNER)
Level I is for students who have never poled before or for those who have completed an Intro to Pole series. Intro to Pole is NOT required for Level I. Learn to spin, climb, dance around the pole and on the floor and execute basic poses at a comfortable height. You will begin inverting on the ground to prepare you for pole inversions in Level II. (ie: beginner spins, basic climb, sit, forearm headstand, teddy/strong hold straddle)
prerequisite: none
LEVEL II · 6 WEEKS/90 MIN · $170 (INTERMEDIATE)
In Level II you will go upside down on the pole! Learn how to properly and safely invert on the pole before moving into your first inverted tricks and transitions. Intermediate level spins are introduced along with upright aerial poses and short floor combinations . (ie: basic inversion, handstands, inverted crucifix, anchor, pull-ups & laybacks/releases)
prerequisite: Level I or instructor permission (climb, forearm headstand, strong hold straddle)
LEVEL III · 6 WEEKS/90 MIN · $170 (INTERMEDIATE)
Level III continues to build strength and body awareness by adding new aerial poses, tricks, and inverted postures to the dancers’ repertoire. Short aerial combinations and transitions are taught to help you learn how to transition from one move to the next fluidly, either upside down or right side up, on the floor or in the air. (ie: inside/outside leg hangs, shoulder dismount, hip hold, corkscrew spin, figure skater spin)
prerequisite: Level II or instructor permission (basic inversion, inverted crucifix, pull-ups and laybacks/releases)
LEVEL IV · 6 WEEKS/90 MIN · $190 (ADVANCED)
Level IV polishes movements you already know while adding more difficult techniques, skills and transitions to your movement vocabulary. Learn multiple ways to enter and exit both new and familiar poses at various heights. Begin to rely more on your upper body to hold you in both upright and inverted postures while you utilize more of the pole. (ie: shoulder mount, aerial invert, apprentice, handspring prep)
prerequisite: Level III or instructor permission (shoulder dismount, pull-ups/laybacks, inside and outside leg hangs)
LEVEL V · 6 WEEKS/90 MIN · $190 (ADVANCED)
Level V poses and transitions often involve very few points of contact and you will begin executing inverted moves and transitions with only your hands contacting the pole. You will begin to develop the ability to go from upright to inverted (and vice versa) quickly and gracefully, with strength and control. An advanced level of strength and flexibility is required. (ie: handsprings, jade, allegra, aerial shoulder mount, chopsticks, flag)
prerequisite: Level IV or instructor permission (aerial invert, split grip, caterpillar climb)
INTRO TO EXOTIC · 4 WEEKS/90 MIN · $125 (LEVEL I & ABOVE)
Designed for students new to heels and sensual choreography. Learn exotic fundamentals (ie: wrist roll pirouettes, diamond rolls) and heel technique (balance, weight transfer, edgework, ankle strength) while focusing on the basics of exotic movement. Heels and kneepads are required -- 7"+ heels and pants are recommended for this class (boots are the most supportive footwear for beginners).
prerequisite: completion of Level I or previous pole dance experience
EXOTIC/SENSUAL FLOW · 4 WEEKS/90 MIN · $125 (LEVEL II & ABOVE)
Sensual Flow combines the exaggerated fluidity, contorted lines, musicality, and athleticism that characterizes so much of Exotic choreography styles. This class focuses on interpreting choreography in search of each dancer’s own natural movement style, unlocking a deeper connection and ease in the movement itself. 7"+ heels and pants are recommended for this class: kneepads are required.
prerequisite: Level II, completion of Intro to Exotic or prior instructor approval
LOW FLOW · 4 WEEKS/90 MIN · $125 (LEVEL I & ABOVE)
Take your flow down low as you learn to work the floor and the bottom portion of the pole in this ground based series. The focus is on floor work movements, skills and transitions inspired by Marlo Fisken's Floor Flow® content and simple but elegant pole technique. Create interesting level changes, shapes, and movements around the pole and across the floor. Leave your shorts at home... lots of layers, knee pads, socks and/or heels are required for this slithery, sexy class!
prerequisite: completion of Level I or previous dance experience
POLEOGRAPHY · 4 WEEKS/90 MIN · $125 (LEVEL I & ABOVE)
Learn a choreographed routine in this floor-based pole dance class designed to provide you with a new physical vocabulary on and off the pole.

Different spins, and styles of dance and floor work are used for each routine.
prerequisite: completion of Level I or previous pole dance experience
COMBOS (I or II) · 4 WEEKS/90 MIN · $125 (LEVEL III & ABOVE)
Drawing from the moves you already know, discover how to creatively enter & exit poses and tricks and combine them together into long, fluid sequences. A workable command of foundational moves through Level II is required before enrolling in the Combos I class (invert, pull-ups/releases, spins), through Level IV for the Combos II class (aerial invert, anchor, inside/outside leg hang, shoulder mount/dismount).
prerequisite: Combos I - completion of Level III; Combos II - completion of Level IV

Series classes vs. Drop ins
We primarily offer series classes because in our many years of teaching and dance experience we have found that students are most likely to succeed in pole when they learn sequentially, systematically and develop a regular practice schedule. Pole is a highly specialized sport that requires consistency and methodology to safely train the body and to progress at a reasonable rate.
We are also really into the community aspect of pole dance--it is one of the strongest, most supportive communities we've ever been a part of. Learning a new skill with the same people for a month or more builds camaraderie and a feeling of safety. Having the same teacher for multiple classes allows you to receive concise, methodical training from someone who has watched your progress and knows where you are in your training and what you need to work on. Finally, committing to a weekly practice allows you to develop the strength, pain tolerance, and mental fortitude necessary to progress in pole.
That being said, you are always welcome to drop in to any class that isn't full. We know how schedules are. You may purchase drop ins to any class here.
