Introduction to
Pole Dance

Beginners, this is the place to start! This class will focus on basic skills such as hand grips, pirouettes, grounded moves, and spins.  Strength exercises are incorporated into class to start building up the abs and arms for more advanced pole maneuvers. Flexibility, strength and fun are the focus of this class. Once you are comfortable here, move on to our Beginner Pole Dance Class. 

Beginner Pole Dance

After you have taken Introduction to Pole Dance and you are ready for more, this class is for you. Beginner Pole Dance is designed to gain strength and flexibility.

Intro To Heels

Taking a few beginner pole classes prior to this course is recommended since it's easier to learn something in bare feet before trying it in heels!
