Invert Drills Workshop
What’s the key to nailing the gemini, scorpio, chopper, superman, jade split, cross ankle release, handstands and other inverts? Technique, strength, flexibility, coordination, timing and… practice!
INVERT DRILLS is a boot-camp style workshop that begins with a 45 minute warm-up and deep stretch focusing on spine mobility plus hip and shoulder openers to maximize flexibility for splits and backbends. The remaining 45 minutes is dedicated to a series of drills designed to simulate specific inverts safely and with a focus on proper muscle recruitment, technique and endurance. No inverting experience is required.
WARNING: This workshop is not for the faint of heart!
FloorWork & Flexibility (NO POLE)
Alethea Austin, USPDF Champion 2010 and USPDF Miss Sexy 2009, teaches her famous floorwork and stretches to lengthen and tone your muscles. This 90- minute workshop will take you from basic class floorwork to more advanced moves, slides, and body rolls. The second part of the course consists of learning the proper stretching methods to help you achieve flat splits and full extension not only on the floor but also in the air. You will leave with an arsenal of new moves and stretches you can practice on your own at home.
Yoga pants, thigh highs, or kneepads should be worn for the floorwork to protect the knees.
Sexy Flow
Sexy Flow This 90 minute workshop taught by Alethea Austin, USPDF Champion 2010 and USPDF Miss Sexy 2009, has been added by popular request. “Stripper Tai Chi”, “Moving Like Melted Butter”, “Slinky Snake” Whatever you want to call it. Sexy Flow will be geared toward helping each dancer become more comfortable in fluid movement and dance in front of an audience. With an emphasis and tips given on Pole Dance for Freedance, Performace, and Competitions. We will start with simple movements and tricks you already know and learn how to adapt them to different songs infusing constant movement on and off the pole with tension, fluidity and complete control. This class has a prerequisite of Inverting.

The Art of Transitions
Explore the dance aspect of pole dancing; paying particular attention
to seamless transitions in and out of tricks, creative ways to use
your hands and feet and how to develop an emotional connection with
your partner, the pole.
The workshop format includes a dance warm-up, followed by floor-work,
and a dance combination on the poles where you will insert climbs and
spins of your choice. Brook will guide you on how to play with dynamic
use of energy, resistance and musicality to enhance your creativity
and artistry. Each workshop attendee will receive individualized
attention and feedback as Brook also gives you tools to connect your
tricks in the most beautiful, sensual and seamless manner helping you
discover how to infuse your routine with personality and emotion.
