We Strive to Bring You the Best!!!

On Pointe Poles
The prefect blend between classical ballet and poles
Intention of this Class
The purpose of this class is to teach the everyday women the basic technique of ballet in order to help her improve with her body placement along with fluidity in her transitions when performing on the pole. My goal is to give these women another perspective/view point on how to attack movement while moving through space around the pole and having a sense of performance.
What I want my girls to Achieve
By the end of my class these women should have a better since of how to point their feet and fully extend their limbs in order to produce clear lines and fuller movement. They will also gain flexibility, coordination, and most important confidence within themselves.
Structure of this Class
This class will start on the floor with exercises that will warm up their body and allow them to focus on one body part at a time
Then we will work our way up to the pole with sensual ballet walks and half turns
While on the pole we will do exercises that follow a ballet class. Meaning – pile`-to bend, into tendu – to stretch, into degage`- to disengage, into battement-big kick.
Near the end of class they will learn a simple dance combination which will incorporate all of the moves they have just learned. This will give them the opportunity to play with the information that they have just taken in, and allow them to let go and have fun!
I will end the class with a nice cool down to slowly bring their heart beat back to normal and to prevent any injuries.
Music Selection
I will be using a mix between classical instrumentals, modern day music with a lyrical style, and jazz/show tunes that have a sassy edge.
Dress Code
This will be done in bare feet. Ladies will need to wear shorts and tops that are formfitting nothing too bagging, so that I’m able to see their body clearly in case I need to make any body alignment corrections.
First class will be May 18th at 7:00, please check the website!

I took this class with Bunni last nite and it was awesome. I loved it. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not very good on the pole because I feel I don’t have enough sex appeal. But taking this class definitely made me feel sexy and she also praised us for having great posture. Thanks to taking the B series I’ve learned that. Thank you Rio, Nina, Honey, and Miami
