What makes flying pole different from dance pole?
Flying pole introduces the ability to swing, orbit, center spin and be lifted up into the air. This course will introduce new ways to dance WITH your apparatus while increasing body awareness, endurance and strength. This is not a true beginner apparatus and some aerial/strength foundations will be required.
Pre-requisites: basic climb on a vertical apparatus, Tuck, straddle, pike invert, 10 second comfortable hold above a chin up bar
