Nicole The Pole: August 4th-6th

Friday August 4th

6:00 PM to 7:30 PM: Strip Tease/Exotic Dance & Twerkin’ (No Dance or Fitness Experience Needed)

This is one of Nicole’s most popular classes at her home studio.  In this class you’ll learn the art of sensual seduction and those mind blowing strip club stage tricks.  Learn several new ways to walk & crawl to your lover.  We’ll cover a wide range of seductive floor tricks, floor rolls, crazy leg tricks, booty isolations, twerkin, how to flow around the pole and use it as a prop. You’ll learn how to connect with your lover/audience with engaging eye contact and special movements that’ll draw anyone in. And most importantly how to take off you top and bottoms without looking crazy. (haha)  After this class you’ll be feeling more confident and able to give a memorable strip tease dance for your lover that’ll have ‘em yearning for more. (Requirements: Wear 2 tops and 2 pair of shorts or shorts over leggings and platform heels. Wear knee pads and/or thick leggings. This is mandatory as we will be on our knees half the class. It will be painful without them & you’ll end up missing out on a lot of the lesson. Please Note: This is not a pole class which makes it open to everyone at any level.  I may only incorporate pole tricks in the choreography section if everyone in the class is the same level.
