Heart and Pole - Hermosa Beach Dance Studio , Fitness Studio, Best in South Bay, Pole Dancing Classes

Vixen I

This is where your journey on the pole begins. This beginners class is all about discovering the fun of flying on the pole. The course covers the different ways we can hold the pole to change our spins. Each 90 minute class begins with a sexy yet body-changing workout on the mat which is followed by our pole time where you learn new moves and perfect past tricks. You'll always have lots of time to practice and ask questions of your teacher. Each class ends with a free-flowing dance time where you can learn to string moves together to create full routines.

Vixen II

After you've completed Vixen I, you move on to Vixen II which focuses on climbing and more difficult spins on the pole. This class builds strength and endurance, which are necessary components of a pole dancers skill set. Shoes become optional at this level but are never mandatory.

Polefessionals I

Polefessionals I starts a student on the path to flipping upside down on the pole. This class teaches you the critical foundations for safe inversions which are the basis for so many advanced pole dancing moves. All Polefessional Series Classes are by invitation of a staff teacher only.

Polefessionals I.5

For the student who has completed and mastered Polefessionals I and wants to explore upper level variations, move into handstands and sliding inversions as well as become more proficient at "dancing the tricks".

Polefessionals II

Once you've become proficient in basic inversions, you move on to the more difficult variations in Polefessionals I. Jewel, Butterfly, Superwoman,Gemini, and Scorpio are covered in this class.

Polefessionals III

Polefessionals III is the ultimate in pole trick classes. This class is for the elite pole trixter who has shown significant mastery of all previous inversions.

Polefessionals IV

Once you've mastered the Pole II and III material and each trick looks and feels "like breathing," you're ready for serious acrobatic pole. We work on challenging and targeted conditioning, more complicated poses and transitions, and move toward maximum stamina and time on the pole. Strength, body control, and technique become the base for fluidity. Private training and/or two classes per session are recommended at this level.

Self-Expression

This is a class for students who have completed a minimum of Vixen 2 and want to take a very personal and emotional journey into the soul of pole dance. This revolutionary and ground-breaking class will take you into uncharted territory where you'll discover the point where vulnerability meets theatricality.

Self-Expression Adventure

Once students have completed the foundational program in Self-Expression, and are comfortable with stretching the boundaries of their creativity, this class offers a playful workshop to continue doing exercises and weekly assignments that challenge their ability to move uniquely and tell stories. Unlike the initial level, this class curriculum is more customized and reflects the needs and goals of the particular students taking it. We use different themes, costumes, plots, and props to relate to our internal archetypes and personal journeys, through external theatre.

Sensuality Bootcamp

Sometimes we feel so overloaded by the demands and realities of our day-to day lives that we forget what it feels like to just FEEL GOOD. If you miss connecting with that sexy girl and super sensual woman living inside of you, or if you don't quite know if you've ever found her... this is the class for you! Based on the core values of the Vixen program, this class awakens and empowers the feminine spirit with compassion and playfulness WITHOUT POLE. Each class begins with a sexy, yet body-changing, workout on the mat to strengthen your core AND your self-esteem. Over the course of the session we'll explore floor and wall movement, slowly peeling layers, chair dancing/interacting, and more... and all at a pace that suits YOUR comfort level. Learn to move to your own favorite music in a way that makes you feel sexy, sultry, and free! This is NOT a pre-requisite to Vixen 1, simply a gentle way to move into our world without the pole.
