360 Pole Dancing

We always begin with single elements in pole classes. But pole dancing starts when we start to link the movements together. True pole flow is when the links and transitions allow everything to become one seamless movement.
That Flip-Pirouette is my favourite skill at Improver level for just that. Everything else here technically be replaced by a StepAround.
As always, repetition is the key to ironing out all the pauses so your body has the muscle memory to just take you to the next place.

All these skills will also be found in this Thursday’s Pole Choreo. Let’s have fun putting them to music properly. Book soon and I’ll send you what we did last week.

These classes are ideal for Improver students, as I teach the spins and tricks as we go. For higher levels they are incredibly fun to add heels and get more intricate with the styling. There are regressions (easier versions) of lots of the skills - these are also ideal when it’s just a bit too slippy to commit to the whole trick!
What differences can you spot between the 2 versions?
(Hoping I got the beats matched as well as I could)

It’s a new month, so it’s FLOOR&FLOW week in PAYG Improvers and Inter/Adv levels. Heels and kneepads for the best experience (but socks are welcome too!) I want to focus a little more on Basework and Floor this month so you will definitely benefit from having kneepads!

Pole Flow and Heels Technique in Bristol BS3.
Inter/Adv: Mon 6pm, Weds 7:30pm, Thurs 7:30pm
Improver/Beginner Progression: Mon 7:30pm

This week we also have:
Pole Choreo: Thurs 6pm (perfect for Improvers. Heels not required. Song: “Need you tonight - Kazy”)
Freestyle Club: Friday 7pm (all polers welcome. Come and dance just for the love. No choreo. No trick instruction. Just pure movement)

Thought for the day.
One of the greatest things about pole is that you can bring your own style, you can learn a style, and you can even create something new. There’s no right or wrong way to move with a pole as long as it’s safe.
I had never been a dancer before pole. I’d taken a handful of jazz classes when I was about 10, and that was it. Pole spoke to me in a magical way that allowed me to express myself and find a strength I’d never known before.
Yeah when I started I was “wooden”, I didn’t know what to do with my arms and my back did NOT want to join in with bodywaves! I could have given up - like I did with Jazz. I’m so glad I allowed pole to guide the way.

On the weather…

mind you, I think our studio is still one of the cooler ones. I couldn’t imagine being in a warehouse unit with a corrugated roof or having a huge set of windows! Cave dwellers for life!

If you’re finding something hard in class,
It’s not because you don’t belong in this class…
It’s because you do.

We all have days where we feel like nothing is clicking, our body doesn’t want to listen, our brain doesn’t want to remember. But we also have days when everything comes together, the consistency has paid off, the work we did starts to show. But we have to get uncomfortable to grow!
