For April's Social Butterflies event, join us on the red carpet (aka the rainbow coloured tumbling mats) and share your unique non-pole or aerials talent. Not into sharing your talent? That's okay! Come out and be amazed and entertained by your fellow Butterflies! If you'd like to share your talent with the rest of the Kaleidoscope, prepare a 30s - 3 minute demonstration and let us know by signing up in studio or emailing info@brassbutterflies.com with a description of what you'd like to share.
This event is exclusive to current and recent clients of our studio. There will be no instruction or use of the poles or aerial equipment during the event. This is meant to be a social time to connect and have fun with other members of our community outside of our classes.
This event is FREE but please RSVP by registering in Wellness Living so we know how many people to expect (and make enough snacks!). Please cancel your registration if you'll no longer be attending.
This class is one of the options for students graduating from Intro to Aerials. Students in this class will explore more complex skills and continue to grow their aerial repertoire on the Bar apparatus - Trapeze and Hoop. The Beginner curriculum for Hoop and Trapeze share core foundational skills but each apparatus has its own quirks and unique movements. Students will get to explore the similarities between the two apparatus as they continue to build strength and knowledge. Students who are already enrolled in Beginner level Silks, Hammock, Fabric, or Hoop classes may enroll in this class to add Trapeze to their repertoire. The class will switch between apparatus week to week.
Please note, there will be apparatus sharing in this class.
Intermediate Bar builds on students' strength and knowledge and begins to expand their ability to move around Double Tab Hoop, Single Tab Hoop, and Trapeze. Students will learn to roll over their hips and thighs and use unexpected body parts to hold their weight (elbows, ankles, hip joints, the list goes on!). Students’ grip strength will be challenged as they take on more challenging positions, moving their body weight outside of the apparatus. A large emphasis will be on the ability to move fluidly between positions and developing an understanding of how positions are connected. Students will start to work on their first rolls around the bottom bar in this level! All students are unique and progress at their own pace, generally students should expect to spend 4-8 months minimum in the Intermediate Bar level.
Prerequisite: Progression into Intermediate Bar is dependent on demonstration of key skills and knowledge and requires instructor approval. Please contact the studio if you are transferring from another studio.
Please note there will be apparatus sharing in this class.
What to Expect:
In the Intro to Pole level of our Pole Dancing curriculum, you will
begin each lesson with a warm up and some fun floor work designed
to make for great dance and transition elements in your pole
routines, but also to build your strength for the pole work. You'll
then spend the rest of each class learning the foundations of
movement on and around the pole, starting from walking around the
pole, and progressing to introductory strength and spin moves on a
static pole. You'll finish off most classes by “dancing it out”
where your instructor will lead you through some freestyle dance or
basic choreography on the pole, followed by a short cooldown and
stretch.
