ACCOMMODATIONS

Moxy Hotel

The Moxy South Beach is a vibe. It's got that laid-back, Miami vibe with a modern twist. Think sleek design, vibrant colors, and a rooftop pool that's straight out of a dream.

They have everything we need for a good time: a killer bar, 24/7 gym, and rooms that are cozy yet stylish. It's the perfect spot to soak up the sun, sip on cocktails, and make unforgettable memories.

Our Classes

Seamless transitions are just as vital as the tricks they connect. In this workshop we will explore opportunities to truly milk transitional moments in our spin flow so as to transform them into unique shapes in and of themselves. Pre-requisites: comfort in leg hangs and inverted positions.

This is a low flow static & prompt-based workshop. We will utilize a series of short lows as blueprints and prompts to create curiosity and encourage discovery within our movement.

A feedback session aiming to help you re-align with your creative and professional goals. All pole- and pole career- related questions and discussion welcome.

Choreo n Sh*t is a flow and dynamic movement pole class that will work on musicality, engagement and transitions both on the floor and pole. This class is both challenging and playful and allows you to explore your movement in a fluid and sensual way. (Knee Pads, Leg warmers, and layers recommended)

Learn some of my favorite signature spin pole flows! Class begins with spin pole conditioning moves like pencil spin, crunches, and leg hangs on spin and progresses into both low and high spin flows. You will grow more familiar with low spin combos around the base of the pole as well as how to gracefully transition from one move to the next spinning up the pole.

Longevity in Pole Dance - yes, that’s an entire thing and do you know what it begins with…??? Injury Prevention! Join Dalijah as she breaks down the techniques to keep you dancing for decades to come. Learn all about how to properly warm up before your session, cool down after it’s done and the best practices for cross training that will help you (and your students) safe.
