*POLE’TASTIC GYMNASTICS
Saturday, March 15 @ 12pm-1:30pm

Level: Intermediate/Advanced
As a forever gymnast I love to incorporate gymnastics and acro moves on and off the pole. When I look at a pole, I see handstands and cartwheels everywhere! In this class we will practice acrobatic movements inspired from gymnastics. NO NEED TO HAVE GYMNASTICS BACKGROUND, we will learn techniques to help you achieve those handstands, cartwheels, and flip like tricks. I will also introduce you to other acro inspired moves. Adding acro elements off and on the pole can add a new dimension to your pole practice. And they are a great way to build body awareness that can help you in every aspect of pole.
Price: $65

*INTERESTING COMBOS
Saturday, March 15 @ 2pm-2:30pm

Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Dare to try something new? Starting with some of my favorite tricks, we will create a fun combo series and look at unique ways in and out of new and familiar tricks. This is a great workshop for tricksters and people looking for some new moves. This is the beginning of you stepping outside of your comfort zone and pushing yourself to discover your own creative thinking!
Price: $65

*POLE’RIGINALITY
Sunday, March 16 @ 12pm-1:30pm

Level: All Levels
In this workshop, I will guide you through an experience with free dance. We will focus on creating a unique “feel” for the music using your personal energy and flow, playing with musicality and other challenges to get you to think outside the pole! We will also take a look at variety of moves on the pole and tweak them to make them your “own”. Our main focus is getting YOU to be the dancer that you have inside… not just what you see on Instagram and social media!
Price: $60

*GROUNDED
Sunday, March 16 @ 2pm-3:30pm
Level:
All Levels
Taking concepts from gymnastics, breaking, Capoeria, and other movement modalities, we will jump, roll and tumble our way through grounded choreography. Use your floor space to make interesting shapes and add another level of creativity to your combos! We will work on transitions from the floor onto the pole and from the pole down to the floor in new and interesting ways.
Price: $65

*POLE : BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE 
Saturday, June 28th @ 12pm-1:30pm
Level:
All Levels
Take a break from herculean tricks and work on building your self-pole-esteem. Ditch your comfort zone and learn how to intoxicate the masses on any stage.  We’ll experiment with tempo, eye contact partner work, and a few other extroverted thaaangs.  Students will have the option of closing the class with a solo freestyle to their favorite song!  
Price:
$75

*POLE : INVERTS 101
Saturday, June 28th @2pm-3:30pm
Level:
All Levels
Hauling your ass into the air is one of the most difficult and sought after skills to master.  This workshop introduces inverting to students who've never tried it, while helping seasoned veterans polish their skills.  We'll start with a core-centric warm up, practice positioning for the floor, do some standing crunches, then fly those asses to the clouds.  Most importantly, everyone will be spotted by TWO people to ensure your safety!
Price: $75


*POLE : THROW THAT ASS IN A CIRCLE
Sunday, June 29th @12pm-1:30pm
Level:
All Levels
There’s so much beauty in spins on a static pole . . . if you know how to use it. This workshop teaches you how to harness your own power -- the power in that ass, specifically -- to create momentum.  We’ll start with classic spins from your pole childhood (chair, dip turn & full brackets), then get a lil’ funkier (body spirals & Juliettes).
Price: $75

*PLUS SIZE POLE DANCING FUNDAMENTALS
Sunday, June 29th @2pm-4pm
Level:
All Levels
Very few instructors understand the complexities of plus size athletes.  Let’s fix that. On the agenda: defining plus size, instructor diversity, inclusive marketing, class structure, motivating frustrated students and lots of SPOTTING techniques! 
This workshop is great for plus size athletes and pole dance instructors.
Price: $100
