Jeannie N. instructs the following:

Pole Power

This class focuses exclusively on strength building for pole! Conditioning classes are perfect if you’re looking to advance faster, break past plateaus, and to prevent injuries. Conditioning classes are open to all levels – newbies welcome!

Pole Level 1 (must have completed Intro level)

This level works to build the coordination and technique for more complicated skills. We will work on more advanced sits and climbs (forearm climb, side climb), knee holds like jasmine and martini, and get comfortable with more complicated and demanding spin tricks. We will work on building strength for our choppers and getting comfortable in basic inversions.

When is it time to level up?
When you have a strong forearm climb on both static and spin. You have a strong chair spin, and you can invert into and hold a bat comfortably. Your tucks should be strong, and you should be close to or able to do a chopper.

Pole FLOW: Beginner Level

This is our foundational level Flow class! We will start with a warm-up, and then learn a piece of basic choreography together to “perform” for ourselves (and your cameras, if you like) at the end of class. We do require that students have taken a minimum of 3 Intro to Pole classes prior to their first Flow class, as we want you to have some familiarity with pole and the basic spins to help follow the choreography as it is taught. Knee pads and socks are strongly recommended (heels optional).

Intro to Lyra: 4-Week Beginner Series

Step into the world of aerial artistry with our Intro to Lyra (Aerial Hoop) series! Perfect for total beginners, this 75-minute class is designed to help you build confidence, strength, and grace while exploring the basics of the aerial hoop.

We’ll keep the hoops set lower to the ground, making it easy and accessible for first-timers to safely learn mounts, poses, and transitions — all while discovering the fun of taking flight.

Sundays at 1:45 PM — January 4, 11, 18 & 25
