We’ll start by regulating our nervous system, then we’ll do different mobility-informed drills to practice pieces separately before putting it all together with lots of options and entries. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of what their body needs to work on to achieve this shape.
All Levels, Beg Friendly, No experience needed!
FPC: beg/int | Spectacular Spreadies: Ground-Dwelling
*You do not need to be inverting on the pole. Static Pole Only.
Love spreadies but not ready to take them to the air? Try them on the ground with the pole as your partner! Emphasis on active flexibility and techniques to make flexibility illusions.
Tricks include: floor jade, down splits, up splits, handstand/meatgrinder split, chopstix, and more!

Tricks include: floor steel panther, floor sneaky-V, violator, forearm stands, and more!
FPC: int/adv | Handsprings
Explore the different grips and positioning for the various handsprings, and how to approach each variation. This is a purely handspring workshop, but we will also be looking at transitions into and out of each position.
Level: Intermediate/ Advanced
FPC: int/adv | Jamilla's Signature Moves
Learn the secrets to Jamilla's signature moves. Strength and flexibility are obvious factors, but balance, focus and body awareness are equally as important in attaining spectacular, extended, seemingly effortless positions on the pole. Explore trademark moves such as the Russian Splits, the Deville (Jade Splits), the Serpentine and Shoulder Mount Splits (ever heard of the Flipped Out Jamilla?!), along with a variety of graceful transitions into and out of each one.
Level: Intermediate/ Advanced
FPC: beginner HEEL TECH
This workshop is an introduction to the system of heelwork terminology and progressions through baseline elements, as developed by Rachele over the last 15 years. Beginning with barefoot techniques, this is a crash course in heel anatomy, alignment options, various engagements styles, box breaks, box rolls, stiletto carves, anchor points, simple weight distribution work, drags, slides, and sweeps. Perfect for those brand new to heels, wanting to transition to a different height, or wanting a deeper level and more heightened sense of control in the floor connections.
*Any heel height is welcome. Straps are recommended.
FPC: int/adv HEEL TECH
Building off of Beginner Heel Tech, this workshop focuses on overall range expansion, as well as an introduction to full weight-bearing work in beginner elements, rotations, pirouettes, heel-digs, stiletto-digs, stiletto waves, heel-drives, weight transfers, and traces.

**Recommended pre-req: beginner HEEL TECH
FPC: all levels | Flying Fundamentals
This is a general-level class; you don't need to be able to invert or even climb. Working lower to the ground doesn't mean boring though!

This workshop is a combination of specific skills along with some short choreography and flow.
Level: General
FPC: beginners | Confidence | all genders welcome!
Build Your Confidence
Take a break from herculean tricks and work on building your self-pole-esteem. Ditch your insecurities and learn how to feel a little more comfortable on any stage. We’ll experiment with tempo, eye contact, partner work, and a few other extroverted thaaangs. Students will have the option of closing the class with a solo freestyle to their favorite song!
FPC: all levels | Inverts 101
Hauling your ass into the air is one of the most difficult and sought after skills to master. This workshop introduces inverting to students who've never tried it, while helping seasoned veterans polish their skills. We'll start with a core-centric warm up, practice positioning for the floor, then fly those asses to the clouds.
FPC: beginners | Throw That Ass In A Circle | all genders welcome
This workshop teaches you how to harness your own power– the power in that ass, specifically – to create momentum for spins around a static pole. We will start with classic spins from your pole childhood (chair, dip turn & full brackets), then get a lil’ funkier (body spirals & Juliettes).
FPC: beg/int | Lyra-ography
