Tantra Fitness Classes

Congratulations! You have taken your first step towards the most fun you'll ever have working out.  Want to tone your abs, gain upper body strength, and - here's the kicker - HAVE FUN WHILE DOING IT?  This is where you start! You will learn the important foundations of Pole, including fun moves you will put together into a little routine at the end of class. Please wear indoor runners or go barefoot and longer pants that cover the back of the knee.  Intro to Pole is strongly recommended before starting Pole 101.

Pole 101 will teach you the basic technique of pole dancing. We will go through safety tips including shoulder engagement and wrist alignment. This level will also help to build your strength with emphasis being placed on the upper body and core giving you the confidence to move to the next level. You will feel stronger, your body will begin to tone and tighten, and you will feel muscles you never knew you had. 

There are 2 series in level 101: Black (Static Pole) & Grey (Spin Pole). Black has 8 classes (Carbon, Coal, Ebony, Jet, Midnight, Onyx, Raven and Slate) and Grey has 4 classes (Ash, Concrete, Graphite and Pewter). You will learn two moves in each series and how to link them together. You may start in any shade in either series and you may do both series at a time You must be comfortable with at least 4 of the Black (static) and 4 of the Grey (spin) series before moving on to level 202.

Now that you have learned the basics, we will start to put the moves into sequences and routines. While continuing to condition your body you will also learn some transitional moves so you can start to dance and this is when you start to burn more calories. You will safely learn a new and challenging combo each class strengthening your muscles for the next level.  

There are 2 series in level 202: Black (Static Pole) & Grey (Spin Pole). Black has 8 classes (Carbon, Coal, Ebony, Jet, Midnight, Onyx, Raven and Slate) and Grey has 4 classes (Ash, Concrete, Graphite and Pewter). Start with Black or Grey series or take them both together. Attend all shades of Black (8) and Grey (4) in any order. Repeat any series or class over again until you feel confident and ready to move to 303!

Life is better upside-down"! Feeling confident and strong with the spins learned in the beginner levels, it is now time to invert and see the world from a different perspective! In addition to going upside-down, prepare to get dizzy as you are introduced to the foundations of inverting on spin pole. Conditioning will get harder as the demands on your body increase.

There are 3 series (303A, 303B, 303C) in this level and 4 classes in each series. You may start with any series and do more than one series at a time, but must start with class 1 of that series completing each series in the correct order. You must be comfortable with at least one of the 303 series before moving on to level 404. In each series you will work on variations of inverting, climbing and some intermediate spins. 

Now that you have learned to invert and have gained confidence having your feet above your head, we focus on learning some fun shapes and poses while upside-down! You will also continue to learn more skills on the spin pole including pretty spins and inversions! This is a big jump from the earlier levels requiring more strength and it is completely normal to have to re-take this level a few times in order to master all the skills taught.

There are 4 series (404A, 404B, 404C, 404D) in this level and 5 classes in each series. The 5th class in the series is review and combo day. You may start with any series and do more than one series at a time, but must start with class 1 of that series completing each series in the correct order. You must be completely comfortable with controlled inversions prior to starting this level. You must be comfortable with at least one of the 404 series before moving on to level 505.

It's time to get acrobatic and learn the moves that amaze! These classes will focus on static pole moves as well as transitions in and out of those moves allowing you to link together some interesting combinations. Again, there is a big jump in difficulty as you enter this level and more focus is placed on higher level conditioning to help you succeed.

There are 4 series (505A, 505B, 505C, 505D) in this level and 5 classes in each series. The 5th class is review and combo day. You may start with any series and do more than one series at a time, but must start with class 1 of that series completing each series in the correct order. You must be confident with shoulder mounts from the floor prior to starting this level.

In this class, you will learn to fuse pole movements and tricks together to create choreography. Work on musicality through movement and create captivating routines, while increasing your fluidity of movements and transitions on and off the pole. Recommended you take a few Pole 101 classes to get some basic technique before taking this class.. Barefoot is recommended.

Each week the class alternates between Spin and Static pole. Wear shorts for spin pole. 

Intro to Pole Flow is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BEFORE TAKING POLE FLOW L1. This is a sensual style class that will go over all the fundamentals of exotic pole. In each class you will learn the foundational moves and a short choreo. It is also recommended you take Intro to Pole before taking Intro to Pole Flow. Heels optional. 

Learn the basic movement of exotic dance in this super fun class. Each class will focus on a specific technique, transition, and/or aspect of exotic dance and will include a different routine in each class applying these concepts. Raise your confidence, get comfortable in your own skin and get a workout all at the same time, what more could you ask for! Recommended you take a few Pole 101 classes and take Intro to Pole Flow first. 

​

Heels are highly suggested. If you have sensitive knees you can bring leg warmers or knee pads. Wear shorts for spin pole.

Get strong and fit in this high-intensity conditioning class! Everything we do is on the pole, so if you’re a pole dance enthusiast, this class will get you in shape for gravity-defying pole moves! If you like to spend your workout time off the pole, this class is still amazing for core and upper body strength training.

Registration is needed. Running shoes are required for the warm up. If you are an advanced pole student (able to do inversions) please bring shorts. Otherwise, any work out bottoms will do.

Aerial Yoga is a Yoga-based class that incorporates a suspended hammock. The hanging fabric is a fantastic apparatus to facilitate deeper stretches eliminating pressure points and restrictions from the using hard surfaces. The inversions decompress the spine and increase circulation benefiting both your brain and your skin. Aerial Yoga is good for all levels and instructors will offer alternatives to inversions if one is not comfortable. The fabric can be 'pinchy' the first few times until you gain the strength to hold yourself rather than hanging in the fabric.

We do suggest you wear longer pants as well as a longer shirt that covers the arm pits. Clothing should be form fitting but easy to move in. Please bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
