After some time in Intro to Pole, join Level 1 Pole. Classes at this level will incorporate floor work, dance, spinning moves, static upright poses, basic climbs and conditioning to prepare for inversions. There is no inverting at this level when the student’s entire body is on the pole. Classes may use both spinning and static poles. Prerequisite: Must be able to easily climb and have working knowledge of basic spins.

Classes at this blended level will focus on inverting from the floor, descending inverts and preparations for aerial inversions. This is a great class for those who are ready to start working on inversions from the ground or have at least 4 - 6 months experience in Pole Level 1. You will be sharing your pole with one other person. If you are unsure if this class is right for you, please speak to your instructor or email us.

Classes at this level will incorporate inversions from the ground, descending inversions, climb variations, intermediate spins, and floor work combinations. The student’s body will maintain 3 points of contact with the pole while inverted. Classes will build on transitional fluidity as well as preparations for more advanced spins and pole dismounts. Classes will use both spin and static poles.

Pole Level 3 is an advanced pole class. Prerequisite: Must have a clean inversion from the ground and 8 months - 1 year of pole experience or with instructor approval.
