Pole Practice is for everyone. From ages 17 to 71, male or female, and whether you want to learn gravity-defying tricks or just get a great workout. Each session will begin with 20-30 min of warmup and conditioning exercises. Each session will end with 5-10 min of stretch. The middle 20-30 min are given to the participant to work on anything he/she would like to focus on. Drop-ins are always welcome.
The focus of the warm up and conditioning exercises are to build the strength and flexibility required to execute tricks on the pole with the grace and control you see affected by performers such as Felix Cane, Jenyne Butterfly and Jamilla Deville. These are also great exercises to work on upper back and core strength which will help improve posture and reduce the risk of lower back injury.
The "practice" part of the class is geared to accommodate multiple levels of experience, and allow individuals to focus on working toward their goals. This means that if you are interested in working on a routine, you are welcome to come in and practice it. If you want to learn inversions or work on specific tricks, poses or moves you are free to work on those as well. All you guys out there, come on in and work on your "human flagpole" poses. If you need a bit of inspiration, check out Dominic Lacasse.
Please note that there is only one instructor and she does her best to give attention to everyone, but due to the variety of levels in the class, you may need to wait to be spotted. Safety is always the number one priority, so please exercise caution. It's always better to err on the side of caution and be able to practice again the next week, than the alternative.
