Basic Acrobatics for Pole

Learn how to use basic acrobatic movements in your pole routine. This workshop includes different leaps, turns, jumps, and flips that one can incorporate with other tricks in pole and aerial. 

Explore the possibilities of exercising in pairs. Students are expected to learn basic duo workout techniques, as well as fundamentals required to be able to lift one’s partner off the floor. This class is also an exploration of trust and collaboration, as pairs are able to try new things with the comfort of a support system, and are able to push themselves a little bit further.

Duality on Pole: Doubles Pole Workshop

Having spent countless hours at the studio together, these two are extremely familiar with moving together and as one. Learn their techniques, and how they are able to do so with fluidity and mutual trust. 

Duality on Silks: Doubles Silks Workshop 

Take your aerial silks practice to the next level with this workshop. Designed for the more experienced aerialists, Duality on silks will cover doubles spins, tricks and partner work that is sure to build trust and strength in pairs. 

Flexibility for Pole and Aerial 

Let's explore where our bodies can go! Learn exercises that combine strengthening and active flexibility to complement pole and aerial tricks. Develop full range of motion, as well as the stability to use these movements on the pole.

Explore ways to move around the floor with your signature pair of heels! If you aren't used to moving inches off the ground, there's no need to worry. This workshop will begin with heel clacking basics and ankle strengthening exercises. All the moves will be put together in fluid choreography by the end of the class. 

Pole Flow

Learn floorwork, floor-to-pole transitions, and how to combine these tricks with what you already know to come up with your own pole sequence. Students will learn a short dance incorporating techniques learned during the workshop.
