Dancers Tilt
The “tilt” is such a common shape in all kinds of pole dance, from heels choreo to contemporary and lyrical styles and beyond! However many people struggle with leg elevation, angles, the mechanics of creating a good tilt, and the strength needed. That’s where this workshop comes in. Join Joanna to learn how to achieve the tilt of your dreams!
Pointe Fitness 2
Strong, articulate feet contribute to creating beautiful lines and help every dancer elevate the look of their movement both on and off the pole. The foot and ankle form a complex system and there’s so much more to a pointed foot than just simply extending the ankle joint or pointing your toes. Well-developed feet are important for all dancers regardless of genre. There are no prerequisites for this workshop.
Deadlift Conditioning
More than just a series of exercises, Jo will take you through multiple aspects of deadlift preparation. This will include discussion on technique and roadblocks people run into when trying to learn deadlifts, tips and tweaks to correct your form, and drills and exercises you’ll need to finally slay your deadlift! Anyone can join for educational purposes, but to participate in all exercises you’ll need a confident Split Grip Ayesha, a Jamilla, and a Caterpillar Climb.
