{Brand new beginner - Course}
Looking to start your pole journey off right? In this 4-week series, we'll cover all the basic elements and fundamentals of Beginner Pole! With other beginners like you, you'll learn basic grips, spins, and style elements to help you build confidence for our group classes. We'll meet weekly on Mondays to build upon skills we learned in the previous class as well as learn some hot choreo!
In addition to nailing all your elements, you'll also be able to ask all the questions you've got about memberships and classes. You don't need to do anything to prep yourself, come as you are! Close-fitting shorts and a sleeveless top are best for starting out. Socks and kneepads may come in handy as well!
Bleeding after traumatic injury is the leading cause of preventable death. The goal of Stop the Bleed training is to empower students to learn and practice basic emergency medicine skills during this time of increased violence and emergencies.
In this free 2-hour training, you'll learn from local firefighters and other first responders with first-hand knowledge and insight into Austin systems. The session includes hands-on demonstrations and practice with direct pressure, tourniquet application, and wound packing during bleeding emergencies. When possible, you'll also receive a take-home trauma care kit.
The Austin Fire Department (AFD) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Stop the Bleed coalition started as a response to the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs in November 2022. Queer firefighters and paramedics wanted to empower the LGBTQ+ community by hosting free training, with the first class happening at The Little Gay Shop in Jan 2024.
