Seattle Pole Dance Competition

Conceptualize & Explore

We will discuss how to select tricks that are appropriate for your routine, prompted freestyling to your music, how to break your song down into parts, and how to start placing passes and tricks into your routine.

Assisted Practice

 This is time to continue to get to know your song and find places in your song where you want to place specific movements or tricks.

Connection

This week will cover how to expand on your passes and turn your individual tricks into combos, as well as how to build connection with your audience, and figuring out how to make your routine unique.

Assisted Practice

This second practice session is ideal for building out the bulk of your choreography.

Polish

with Christina

This class will teach you about using your extremities, taking your time, smoothing out your transitions, putting the polish on your audience engagement, and the value of marking your routine.

Assisted Practice

This session should be used to fill any gaps in your choreography, as well as working through any passes or transitions that feel awkward or clunky.

Finalize

This class will focus on asking for and providing specific feedback to your fellow wombats, then working on the final tweaks to your routine.

Dress Rehearsal

Our final session will be a Dress Rehearsal where you can put everything together, and get some performance jitters out. It is encouraged to wear your costume, use your actual props, and have your hair/make-up done.
