Love to Watch Pole Dancing? It is Your Turn to Play!

Designed for total newbie pole enthusiasts as well as those with some pole. Interested in club jobs? We train professionals as well!
An excellent foundation. Our 5-week course is designed for any woman who wants to learn the art / skill of pole dancing in a safe, fun, fast paced yet extremely accessible environment. We keep the focus on pole skills and transitions, and include a small amount of floorshow so that you leave with a real pole dance routine.
All material is broken down carefully into accessible easy to get bits so that you walk away, getting how to do your moves with ease, with the help of experienced professional instructor, Candy Winters.
Our curriculum is dense; you will be learning multiple moves/tricks in every class. And...we get you climbing the pole in the first class! We provide additional cheat sheets for you to download.

For many of us, executing multiple pole inversions is the most exciting and challenging part of our dance. Inversions take time to learn, develop and refine until they feel both safe and extraordinarily satisfying.

An excellent follow-up class to the Level 1 Inversions and for anyone who wants to expand or expand their repertoire of pole inversions.

In this 4-week pole lab, we will work independently and together to develop a unique super slinky fun pole routine for each student.
This lab is geared towards self-motivated students with pole experience.

You will be asked to bring in your own music (or choose from my extensive collection.) We will watch each other's dance and offer constructive positive feedback. Access to youtube videos will be available for reference. Optional recording of your dance to study during the week will be available. (Not mandatory.)
Each lab with begin with playful pole movement exercises designed to get us out of our heads and into our bodies. We will have dedicated pole technique time for polishing any pole moves that could use a little attention.
Note: Your routine does not have to be full of tricks. It can be a slow sensual dance that includes the pole, or it can be a super tricked out routine. It can be as short as two minutes or as long as five.
There will be an option to hold a public, semi-public or private pole performance on the last day of class or at another consensually chosen time. Scared? Intrigued? Perfect!
Class includes 4 hours of free open studio pole practice time w/o instructor. Arrive 1hr before class.
Limited to 6 students. Single day drop-in possible.
If we are not a full class, we can register you for just 1 session.
