It’s time to break out of your comfort zone, unleash your imagination, and dare to be different! In this exploration of styles, we’ll learn a piece of pole choreography, then discover how it evolves and changes with different music, different bodies, and different styles of movement.

GET BENT: Partner Stretch Technique (all levels welcome)
Stuck in a rut with your flexibility? Partner stretching can help you reach new depths of bendiness, but practicing safe techniques with a trusted partner is crucial. Learn how to communicate effectively and use your breath to completely relax in a series of partner stretches for the back, neck, shoulders, and hips. *Bring a partner / lover / neighbour / friend so you can continue to stretch together in the weeks and months that follow; or we’ll pair you up with a fellow classmate… who may or may not become your stretch partner for life ;)
