Expressive Movement
Pole Classes
Liquid Pole
Liquid Pole is everything Liquid Motion. The only difference is now the vertical pole is your apparatus in addition to the base of the pole and the floor. One of Liquid Motion's building blocks is rooted within ones connection to your sacral chakra located within your pelvis. When your sacral chakra is balanced you have the ability to flow, to open yourself sensually to experience oneness with yourself. You will learn how to apply Liquid Motion's methodology by utilizing the 5 fundamentals and 5 techniques for floor work in your pole work to ultimately give you the fluidity to create that seamless organic flow you desire in your pole dance movement.
Must complete one session of pole level 1
