Service Description

Support safe, effective pole work with exercises and movement breakdowns drawn from physical therapy principles and classic gym exercises, focusing on how each muscle group functions on the pole. You’ll get a full-body workout with plenty of progressions and regressions, so you can push yourself or dial it back as needed. We’ll also break down the key muscle groups and activation patterns behind common grips and tricks, so you can bring more strength, control, and confidence into your other pole classes. Whether you’re brand new to pole or an experienced dancer looking to maintain and build strength, this class helps you develop the functional strength and stability needed for climbs, spins, inversions, and fluid, powerful movement on and around the pole. Note: Exercises follow a 4-week mesocycle. The overall structure remains consistent for four weeks so with regular attendance your body can adapt, build strength in key movement patterns, and allow you to actually see your progress over time. (P.S. If there’s a specific movement or trick you’re struggling with, feel free to let me know...I’m happy to incorporate targeted strength work for that skill into future cycles!) Recommended Gear: (Mats and heavy bands are provided at the studio, and most exercises can be done without resistance—but bands definitely help!) - Resistance band / Theraband (example: https://a.co/d/gElJM3i) - Resistance loop band (example: https://a.co/d/4Qd4IZ2) — you can also tie the long band above into a loop
