COMPREHENSIVE POLE DANCE CERTIFICATION
Climb & Spin Comprehensive Pole Dance Certification
Climb & Spin is the foundation for our entire method of pole dance training. It is a systematic and progressive approach to teaching multi-level, drop-in classes where each student is challenged based on their individual fitness level and pole experience.
In our method, 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 progress safely. Fundamentals and technique are developed and reinforced through 50-90 second CHOREOGRAPHED ROUTINES using our extensive movement vocabulary of over 120 climbs, descends, spins, static poses, dance transitions and floor-work. Choreographed dance routines is also where proficiency in technical skills is balanced with learning how to add elements of ARTISTRY and individuality; thus developing well-rounded pole dancers. As an instructor, you'll learn how to create fun, challenging and creative choreography while modifying key elements to accommodate the needs of each individual in class. Therefore, everyone gets to Climb & Spin at their own level within the context of the same choreography.
