Class types

Heels pole dance

Heels Pole Dance (also known as exotic pole dance) is a dance style performed with the pole in heels, where movement combines strength, fluidity, and dance expression. Although this style is often associated with sensuality and femininity, in reality heels pole dance can vary greatly in its character, energy, and presentation.

 

Modern heels pole dance combines elements from various dance styles — including ballet, hip-hop, jazz, vogue, and others — creating a multidimensional approach to movement and body awareness.

Classes are practiced in specialized heels. In the beginning, it is possible to train without heels, but over time the shoes become an important part of the style, as balance, technique, body mechanics, and movement quality are all built around them.

In performances, heels pole dance is often combined with pole tricks and acrobatic elements. Within our training methodology, we separate the study of dance technique and trick foundations in order to give proper attention to movement quality, technical understanding, and safety. However, if a student already has a basic tricks foundation, in some groups we may occasionally include trick elements within choreography.

 

During classes, we work on technique, coordination, strength, endurance, and body control, while also developing artistry, musicality, and emotional expression. We explore different choreographic approaches and moods to help students become more versatile dancers and discover their own movement style.

Pole tricks

Pole tricks is a discipline that combines strength, technique, coordination, body control, and expressive movement. In classes, we learn various pole tricks: grips, hooks, entries, transitions, holds, spins, strength tricks, flexibility tricks, poses, and we combine them into sequences, gradually building from a basic level to a more advanced one.

Special attention is given not only to the execution of the trick itself, but also to its quality. It is important to understand how the body works in each element: where the support should be, how weight is distributed, which muscles are engaged, and how to maintain control, balance, and safety. The main focus is always on ensuring that the trick is not just “done,” but performed with correct technique so as not to harm yourself.

In training, we work on strength, endurance, coordination, mobility, and core stability so that movement on the pole becomes more confident, technical, and aesthetic. We break down technique from simple to complex, learn how to properly enter and exit tricks, and how to connect them into combinations.

This approach not only helps to master new elements but also to better feel your body, control your movements, while maintaining a mindful approach and minimizing the risk of injury.

Contemporary pole dance 

Contemporary pole dance (also often referred to as pole art or lyrical pole) is a style in which pole technique is combined with the principles of contemporary dance, modern dance, classical choreography, jazz, street styles, and other dance disciplines, creating a multidimensional approach to movement and body expression. Classes include pirouettes, spins around the pole, floorwork, movement combinations, and the exploration of different ways of moving.

 

In our methodology, this direction is distinguished by the fact that we do not limit ourselves to a single movement style or aesthetic. The content of the choreography depends on the artistic approach and dance background of each instructor, which means classes may differ in mood, dynamics, and stylistic atmosphere.

 

During training, we focus not only on technique, but also on musicality, coordination, body fluidity, balance, strength, and movement quality. We also work with dynamics, spatial awareness, and the ability to express a state, emotion, or story through dance.

 

Contemporary pole dance is performed barefoot or in socks. This style offers a wide space for self-expression and is often experienced as a more свободный, natural, and deeply embodied way of experiencing movement through the body.

Stretching

Stretching training is not only about flexibility, but also about a comprehensive approach to body mobility, joint range of motion, movement quality, and control. In classes, we gently develop range of motion, improve joint mobility, and work on muscle strength and overall body coordination.

 

The foundation of the training is a biomechanical approach that takes into account how the body is structured, how the joints move, which muscles need stretching, and which require strengthening and stabilization. Therefore, stretching is not built through pressure or forcing, but through gradual, intelligent, and safe progression.

 

In classes, we combine gentle stretching, active mobility work, strength building in new ranges of motion, and movement control. This format helps not only to become more flexible, but also to make movements freer, more stable, and higher in quality.

 

Special attention is given to exercise technique, comfortable body positioning, symmetry, control, and body awareness. Our goal is not simply to achieve splits or a bridge at any cost, but to develop flexibility in a way that keeps the body strong, stable, and healthy.

 

Such training is suitable for those who want to improve overall mobility, reduce stiffness, address pain points, feel better in movement, and safely develop flexibility without forcing the body.
