Pilates Classes and Pole Dancing Classes Perth

Pilates focuses on developing core strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness. Pilates exercises are typically performed on a mat or using specialised equipment using a combination of strength, control, and flexibility.

Pole dancing is a form of performance art, exercise, and dance that involves performing acrobatic and dance movements around a vertical pole. While pole dancing has its roots in strip clubs, it has evolved into a popular fitness activity and a recognised sport. Pole dancing tricks also require a combination of strength, flexibility, and coordination. A pole spin involves gripping the pole with your hands and using the momentum to spin around it. There are various types of spins, including basic spins like the fireman spin and more advanced spins like the jade split spin.

Aerial tricks in pole dancing involve lifting your body off the ground and performing various movements while suspended in the air. Examples include the Ayesha, where you hold onto the pole with your hands and extend your body horizontally, and the Gemini, where you grip the pole with your thighs and rotate your body.

Inversions involve going upside down on the pole. Some common inversions include the basic invert, where you lift your legs off the ground and hook them on the pole, and the shoulder mount, where you lift your body up using your shoulders and core strength.

Climbing the pole involves using your arms and legs to ascend the pole vertically. There are different climbing techniques, such as the basic climb, side climb, and Russian climb.

It’s important to note that both Pilates and pole dancing require proper training, technique, and supervision to ensure safety and prevent injuries. Beginners should start with foundational movements and gradually progress to more advanced tricks under the guidance of qualified instructors.
