Pole

Curves and Claws is an Intro to Pole series for plus-sized individuals. It is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where you can feel free to move your body and grow your confidence without any fear of judgment. Pole has no limits. If you've always wanted to try pole but haven't yet, this just might be the class for you! Sign up for our Intro to Pole workshop; a 4 week workshop for only $50! In order to keep this class a safe space for our plus-sized clients, please only register if you are plus-sized. We understand that people feel more comfortable if they come with a friend, but we ask that every member of the class be a plus-sized individual, so make sure your friend also fits that description. We can’t put a specific weight or dress size limit on this class since height matters so much when it comes to these things, but size XL and up is generally a fair way to determine if you’re a fit for Curves and Claws. Fitness experience can also be taken into account, as Curves and Claws has removed some of the more challenging moves found in our unspecialized Intro classes.

After you’ve become comfortable with all the moves and transitions in Intro to Pole, you’re welcome to sign up for our 6-week Pole Level 1 intensive. This course will lead you through more of the fundamental moves needed to advance through to higher levels of Pole, such as Jasmine, Hood Ornament, Climbing work, and Inverting (yes, you get to learn how to go upside down)! This course is $90 for all 6 weeks and will sell out FAST, so stalk our Facebook page for enrollment openings.

After you’ve taken Intro and have a solid foundation in Pole Level 1, you can join our Level 1/2 classes. Unlike our Intro sessions, these are individual classes that you drop in and out of, they do NOT run in monthly sessions. These classes will have trick and combo options for all levels. Please wear or bring shorts with you, and avoid applying lotion the day of class.

Experience is required. 

Pole Level 2/3 is our advanced class, where we work on increasingly difficult tricks and combos, including flips, Handsprings, Brass Monkey, Iron X, Acro based floor tricks, etc… This class is invitation only. Please reach out to us via email if you’re coming from a different studio and want permission for the Level 2/3 class.

Experience is required.

Pole Conditioning and Fundamentals is an all-levels class designed to build the strength, control, endurance, and mobility to execute tricks and choreographies with ease. Each class will include pole-based strength training, skin desensitization, aerial endurance, and mobility work to make sure we can access our strength and control though a full range of motion. 

Each class will also cover fundamental techniques found in pole, such as toe point, leg extension, and execution follow through. 

Vixen Flow is our choreography class. It is open to all levels. Each month, we learn a new routine based around the pole, chair, or floor. This class is seriously addicting, so be warned.
