ioisis pole and aerial dance

I’m retiring from studio ownership, passing the baton on to ...

I couldn’t be leaving the studio in better hands. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these ladies from the very beginning of their pole journey, and watch them exceed my own abilities. This is the greatest achievement a teacher dares to dream of. I’ve caught them a few times over the years; because they were trying a new move and they asked me to. They have caught me many times, supported me through two studio moves, my pregnancy and much more.

I’m terrified to step out of my comfort zone. I’ve only ever really known pole. But I have big faith in the catching abilities of people and the universe.

I’ve been cloud spotting, concocting, planning and dreaming; and I’m looking forward to what the next chapter of my life might look like. I love teaching too much to stop, so after a month off, I’ll be taking workshops and clinics, and I’m toying with becoming a group pole choreography consultant. (Too niche? Probably). But largely focusing on new projects as I get my kid settled into big school, and get on top of my recent RA diagnosis.

So on Friday, our official exchange date, I will be raising a glass to the people. To everyone I have ever taught. To the teachers I have worked with. Every performer in every show. To the people I have hurt. The people I have helped. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

I've finally updated the bookwhen.com/ioisis page. Go me.

The new beginners course starts Thursday 1st July at 6pm.

I'll be teaching a level 1 course (which follows on from beginners) starting Tuesday 29th June.

The Thursday 'drop in' has been updated.

Monday and Wednesday courses will be up early next week.

Once again, this photo has nothing to do with anything. But who doesn't love a knee hold?

Finally got it sorted. I'm sure everyone can appreciate it's a challenge reorganising new groups, and accommodating new students. So for next week we're asking everyone book in on bookwhen.com/ioisis

As different people are owed different amounts of credit, the returning courses are marked as no charge, but obviously if you don't have classes owed there is a charge. These are password protected. The password is my son's first name, with a capitalised first letter, and four lower case letters. Message me if you don't know it.

Please only book if you are certain you're coming. We still have to work at a reduced capacity, and want to see as many lovely faces as possible. The plan for the following week will be based on the success of the first week back.

Thank you all for your understanding, patience and continued support.

We're back on Monday!! If you want to get in touch with me now is the best time. I'm online, not driving, I have phone reception and no child wanting his bum wiped.

I know I've had months to prepare for this moment, but the plan has only just come together. It will be online tonight.

If you phone 07813 726 740 you should get through to me.

The time table is starting to take shape ready for 17th May. Yay. Exciting times. I would respond to all the messages. I just don't want to. Can't I just dance?

Hola

The May beginners sold out totally, so I had a rejig, and I've added a new beginners course to the booking page
bookwhen.com/ioisis

It's a six week Couch to Pole course, starting (hopefully) 18th May.

I've updated the single session beginners (sort of) drop in with more dates, so if you're not sure a course is the right thing, you can try a session before committing.

Can't wait to see everyone.

Winning at life. The bookings page is now updated. There's a few spaces on Nat's just flow course and my new beginners course. I've put them in May, obvs we can't be certain, but fingers crossed. There is also the -sort of- drop in on Thursdays at 7.15. This is a one off session, everyone who booked in January will have been moved over (hopefully), this will be a repeating event and is the best way of trying pole to see if you enjoy it before committing to a course.

To book: www.bookwhen.com/ioisis

I've barely scratched the surface of the backlog of messages, I'll get on it asap. Thanks for your patience.

This random photo's from a music video shoot years ago. It brought back happy memories.

THE REOPENING PLAN

So dance schools are allowed to reopen next week. Yay. However, we are not allowed to teach group lessons. Facepalm. So...

My understanding is individual training, as one would in a gym is okay. So on a Tuesday and Thursday evening EXISTING students only may come and train between 6-8. Please refrain from coughing/salivating/rugby tackling one another. Appropriate greetings include waving and jumping in excitement. And hey, guess what? Youy need to wash your hands.

I've found no evidence to the contrary that private lessons are allowed, either 1 to 1s or for very small groups of same household or support bubbles. More info will follow.

We're hoping that courses, including the much anticipated new beginners and Nat's just flow class will start on the 20th and 19th of May respectfully. I'll get the website and booking page updated on Friday, so we can take new bookings.

Our windows are open. Literally. Being high up and having windows front and back is a dream for ventilation. Do remember to bring layers to warm up and cool down in.

I know I have a backlog of messages to catch up with. Sorry. I'll get on it now we've got a rough plan.

Can't wait to see everyone again.

Well done for reading to the end.

The picture of the bus has nothing to do with anything. It was parked outside the studio last week, and there's always time for tea.
