PoleFlow - Level 1

In this level, we will continue with the basics of PoleFlow, and combinations of moves will be made. The upside-down hanging and clamping on the pole will also be intensively used. You will notice that you are slowly becoming stronger and daring more.

When you are familiar with the following list and in consultation with your teacher, you can move to the next level!

• Side climb
• Swan spin
• Juliette spin
• Hangover (+bridge)
• Butterfly
• Handstand training
• Superman
• Sitting variations
• Inside/outside leg hang
• Grips (cup grip, forearm grip, armpit grip)
• Starting aerial invert
• Combinations

Our classes always start with a warm-up that consists of stretching and strength exercises. We also focus on developing body awareness and moving in a flow. After the warm-up, you will learn techniques and combinations on the pole. The classes are focused on improving muscle strength and, of course, the dance moves on and around the pole. PoleFlow will make you more flexible, give you self-confidence, and strengthen all your muscles.

Once you have made the techniques of pole dancing more your own and have confidence in your own abilities, you can give pole dancing your own 'twist'. It can be as tough, elegant, or sexy as you want it to be.

rasalila is a tight community and everyone strives to help each other with that one pole trick that is sometimes a bit more difficult for one person than for another. There is also a lot of cheering for personal victories, whether you are hanging upside down or dancing for the first time in high heels.

At rasalila, we focus on personal qualities and development during the classes.

What to wear: Wear comfortable clothing that you can move well in. For most exercises on the pole where you need your skin to stay 'stuck', it is important to wear short shorts and it’s recommended to come barefoot.
