Pole Dance Class With A Metaphysical Twist

Enjoy the freedom to explore your own capacity and potential in this unique Pole Dance Choreography class that brings in the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. We will start by warming up all the joints, learning 3-5 pole moves that can be combined into a routine, then we'll turn off the lights and dance it out with what we've learned. To wrap up the class, we'll stretch out the body before finishing up with some breathwork. All my classes include a metaphysical twist, so expect some woo woo stuff to help you play with moving and releasing emotional energy trapped within your body! Bring: An open mind, a water bottle, a pair of tight-fitting shorts/sports bra and baggy layers (sweat pants and socks) to keep up body temperature during warm-up and cool-downs.

Hey, I'm ABI!

Started with food in my basement, inviting all budding artists to share their work. Offered stage was also an opportunity for me to share my work, culminating in an underground poetry scene with very little form or critique. What marks me different is my voice and an exemplary energy of self-love. Though black, I am able to bring different races and backgrounds together to make for an interesting poetry night; this is my passion.
