Pole Dance
Pole dance is an acrobatic sport that combines flexibility, strength and coordination. To start poledancing you do not need previous experience, we will build up basic strength, flexibility and body awareness together. If you want to work more in a particular area, we have additional flexibility and strength classes.
The fun thing about pole dance is that you are actually training very hard, but time flies by because you are working on nailing that next trick or combo together. You start to aim for sport related goals, rather than physical appearance and feel great about yourself with the skills you've mastered and the muscles you've gained!
By training in a group we will struggle, laugh and cheer together in a relaxed and respectful environment.


Aerial Hoop
It's a circus discipline for everyone with 360° of fun, most comparable with trapeze, but then in a round shaped hoop hanging in the air.
Just like all kinds of aerial exercise it is a mixture of strength, flexibility and technique. In our classes we will be working on getting you stronger, making beautiful shapes together and building on flows and transitions.
To start you don't need any previous experience, just motivation!


Pole choreo
We will be working on your dance by levelling your attitude, your rythm and just have a lot of fun trying!
It is an all level accesible class on the pole, were you will learn to improve your coordination.
We will be working 3 to 4 weeks on a choreo so there is a lot of time to repeat classes.
Our Classes
Explore our diverse classes designed for all levels and foster a welcoming community.


Stretch
This training is accessible to everyone, no matter what your current flexibility level may be. The classes will be adapted to your level so you can train safely and progress in your own time.
We will be focussing on mobility work first, strengthening the muscles in our full range of motion and building endurance in our full range as well. This way we will focus on engaging the right muscles to support our flexibility. This class is more goal oriented with a main focus on front and middle splits. If you want to build more range of motion in your shoulders and upper back we recommend joining our mobility class.

Maximum 15 people can join one workshop.


Conditioning
During our conditioning classes we combine strength and cardio, specifically built to enhance our aerial skills to train safely and get to that next level. Let’s make those aerial inverts stronger, build stable shoulder strength and improve our overall condition by using our aerial tools as a workout partner.


Yoga
This is a Vinyasa flow class designed to get you out of your head and into your body. The sequence moves through breath oriented movement, opening up the spaces where we tend to hold tension. The flow is built to be accessible for everyone, whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years.


MOBILITY
We aim to improve our overall range of motion of the shoulders and upper back by strengthening our joints and learn how to control them safely in that range.
Mobility combines flexibility, strength and stability to move more freely and efficiently in our daily activities and sports.
To ensure our aerial training sessions run safely, it is important to improve targeted strength and agility. We focus on shoulder stability, upper back mobility and strength and basic hip mobility to move safely in and around the pole or aerial hoop.
Open Training
Our weekly hangout where you and your fellow students can come and train everything you've learned in class. The space and everything in it is available for you to train with.
Feel free to come handstand, strength training, hoop, pole or stretch. This gives you an extra training day in the week so you can improve your skills.
We work with a volunteer system, one student will be held responsible for opening, closing and safety.
