4. August 3- Pole Dance Workshops!!!
Beginner- 430-6pm
Intermediate- 615-745pm
**limited spots**

Beginner Static Choreo Flow- open to all levels of Pole Dancers (Level 1 and up)
Are you looking to improve on your flow, transitions and the DANCE part of pole dancing? Learn a beautiful pole routine that will challenge your technique, flow and artistry in my Pole Choreo workshop. We will nerd out on all things pole like momentum and grip while also working on how to make your movement graceful, how to transition from one move to the next, how to interpret the music and perform. In this level it is not required to be able to invert. Variations can be given to accommodate for different skill levels.

Intermediate Spin Flow- open to Levels 3 and up (Intro to Inverts, Pole Foundations, Aerial)
So you're able to do cool fun tricks, but you're looking to improve your ability to dance through them seamlessly and with grace? Learn how to beautifully transition between moves in my Pole Choreo Level 2 workshop. Challenge yourself to find the moments between moves, how can I use my strength efficiently to make the transition less clunky, and stylistically how can I make my movement more beautiful. In this level it is required to be able to invert. Variations can be given to accommodate for different skill levels.

5. AUGUST 17- BURLESQUE
Unleash Your Inner Diva at the Burlesque Dance Workshop!

Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Burlesque Dance Workshop, presented by Vibe Studios and Rox Stone. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a curious beginner, this workshop will help you discover the art of burlesque in a fun and supportive environment.
Date: **August 17th, 2024**
Time: **12 PM to 2 PM**
Location: Vibe Studios - 1969 Boxwood Rd, Nanaimo, BC V9S 5X9
This 18+ class invites you to express yourself through burlesque's sultry and empowering movements. Wear heels, sneakers, or any shoes you can move in, and get ready to shimmy, shake, and strut your stuff!
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register early.
Don't miss out on this chance to add a little sparkle to your dance routine. We can't wait to see you there!

If you read all the way through, thank YOU… and thank YOU for your support of this small business… thank you for allowing myself and all my faculty the opportunity to continue to do what we love!!! I am and will ALWAYS be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO grateful!!!!!
