CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
Climb & Spin educational programming is a systematic and progressive approach to teaching pole dancing as a sport and art form. It offers you both structure and creative freedom as an instructor to teach an extensive repertoire of pole skills with clarity and technical proficiency while inspiring individual artistic expression through dance.
Climb & Spin
pre-requisite: none
Climb & Spin is the foundation of our entire system of pole dance training.  Proficiency in the C&S FUNDAMENTALS & TECHNIQUE of climbing and spinning including key grips, braces, hooks, sets and spin impulses is emphasized.  They serve as the basis for building strength, proper body mechanics and muscle memory that enable your students to safely and progressively advance toward more complicated skills in our Climb & Invert and Invert & Stuff programs. C&S Fundamentals and technique are developed and reinforced through 50-90 second choreographed routines using our extensive movement vocabulary of 120 climbs, descends, spins, combo spins, static poses, dance transitions and floor-work. It is through choreographed dance routines where proficiency in technical skills is also balanced with learning how to add elements of artistry and individuality; thus developing well-rounded pole dancers. learn more...
