Do you break into a sweat when your instructor says it's time to freestyle? Do you find yourself repeating the same moves over and over? Or are you just bored, and want to try something new? Come unlock the creativity within! This class will use exercises to help you think outside the box when it comes to freestyle (non-choreographed) movement. We'll give you tools to create new movement, and to view your current vocabulary of moves in a whole new light. While this class will benefit pole dancers (and we will use the poles as an apparatus for some activities), you do not have to be a pole dancer to attend! No dance experience required.... come as you are! We'll use different exercises each class, and provide time to apply your new skills.
While our studio is always a judgment-free zone, this class in particular is especially so. This is not a class for perfection! Ugly movement, awkward shapes, and laughter are all welcome as part of the creative process. There are no mistakes... only learning opportunities. Be ready to have fun and try new things! |
