How to Test Your Progression!

Episode 2 is here and we have The Diva! 💫

Whether you’re just starting out or working on advanced variations, almost every pole move has levels you can unlock based on where you are in your journey.

Let’s break down the 3 stages of the Diva:

✨ Level 1 (From the floor): Focus on learning the move without the added stress of climbing or inverting.

✨ Level 2 (From a climb): Once you’ve unlocked the Diva + can climb, you can pair these two moves together for more of a challenge.

✨ Level 3 (From an invert): Climbing no longer a challenge for you? Try this move from an invert harder than descending into it!

Progress isn’t about rushing to Level 3, it’s about building strong, clean foundations! 👏

💬 Which level are you working on right now? Drop it in the comments! 👇

Each week I’m sharing a pole combo built around foundational movements, so make sure to follow along for more pole tips, tricks, and class inspiration!

Here’s a high-beginner flow! No special requests this week, but I saw a variation of this Manerina on someone’s page (so sorry I can’t remember who to tag!) and immediately fell in love with how beautiful and flowy it is.

It can feel a bit intimidating at first glance, but once you lock in the contact points, the grip is surprisingly solid! 💗

The Sequence:
1️⃣ Star
2️⃣ Climb
3️⃣ Chair and Pike
4️⃣ Juliette Spin
5️⃣ Manerina Variation
6️⃣ Seat
7️⃣ Baby Snake to Ballerina

Save this for your next practice, and tag me when you give it a try! 💃✨

Let’s talk about TRUE intro-friendly pole moves 👇

✨ Step Around
✨ Around the World
✨ Pole Sit

Challenging our students is important, but safety and body awareness come first. Showing a move before a student has the strength, active mobility, or grip for it is a shortcut to injury.

When we give beginners moves they can actually execute well, they build confidence, stay safe, and progress way faster in the long run.

Drop a comment below: Which move felt the most natural when you were in Intro? 💬

💭 Each week I’ll be releasing a pole combo built around foundational movements, so follow for more pole tips and inspiration!

Last Monday I taught this low-intermediate flow to my L3/L4 girls!

I had a special request to include a mermaid, and let me tell you it’s lowkey one of my favorite moves.

It looks really scary at first, but once you get into it, the grip is surprisingly solid!

Let’s break it down line-by-line! 👇

The Sequence:
1️⃣ Invert
2️⃣ Diva
3️⃣ Mermaid
4️⃣ Dragonfly
5️⃣ Shoulder Dismount

Save this for your next studio session, and tag me when you give it a spin! 💃✨

We’re back with Part 4 of our spotting series to help you keep your training besties safe when you’re practicing without an instructor around!

The goal is simple: building your confidence so you can step in to spot any trick with ease, keeping the session stress-free and fun.

Today’s focus: The Shouldermount🤯

Because this inverted power move relies heavily on active core engagement and bicep tension, having someone there to help take weight off your hips makes all the difference when trying to unlock this move.

Where we spot: At the hips and upper back/torso.
Why: Supporting the hips helps guide the lift and stack over the pole, while a hand behind the back ensures a safe, controlled dismount if the grip slips or energy runs out.

Save this so you have a quick cheat sheet ready for your next open training session! 📍

💭 What trick or inversion should we break down next? Let us know in the comments!
