Pole

Splits, Flips and Ninja Kicks: 

Lets knock things out with our powerhouse of legs! In this dynamic workshop, we will focus on multiple progressions of dynamic elements, followed by a weaving split transition.

Kazree Flow 

Focus on pole "dancing". Learn Phoenix's style of floor work and pole choreography. Minimal to no tricks.

Fly Girl Workshop 

Despite the title of this workshop, it is great for both women and men. Get a good grip and fly around the pole with fun and dynamic flying spin combinations. This workshop will take you around, around, and upside down. Let's go beast mode on that static pole and go hard on spin

Pole Intentions and Creations

This workshop is geared to those who want to perform. Learn what it takes to create a cohesive routine and connect to your audience. Melt your floor work into your pole passes and perform your tricks with the same intent and expression as your off-pole work. Don’t lose the focus of your audience with a choppy routine.

Spins N $hit

Class begins with spin pole conditioning moves like pencil spin, crunches, and leg hangs on spin and progresses into both low and high spin flows. You will grow more familiar with low spin combos around the base of the pole as well as how to gracefully transition from one move to the next spinning up the pole.

Choreo N $hit 

Choreography based heels class is an hour of sass and spice with just enough Nasty. Class begins with learning the anatomy of the heels, how to walk in your heels as well as balance, and poise. Students will learn 8-10 eight counts of Choreography and work on musicality, balance and rhythm in heels. No matter your level of Dance, you will leave this class Feeling like the Queen you are.

Injuries

Lets Talk Injury Prevention

Hamstrings, Wrist and Shoulders Oh My! This Q&A workshops talks the anatomy of the shoulders and hamstrings, why we injury them so much in pole and ways to prevent injury with proper warm ups and conditioning drills

 Hand Balancing

Inverted Perspective:

Some things in life are better upside down. In this workshop, we will focus on proper body alignment, technique, and creating fun shapes with a little bit of solo hand balancing, partner acro, as well as a little bit of improv movement.

 Flexibility

Bendable, Never Breakable:

Strength and flexibility are like oil and water, yet they go hand in hand with creating your artistry. You will become stronger and better than you were yesterday. In this workshop I will provide different methods to safely train your body to help you enhance your lines and help increase your flexibility.

Focus on upper body, back and shoulders
