MASTER CLASS / WORKSHOPS in the UK

MASTER CLASSES IN THE UK.
 
Luckily we can have master classes in the UK  at very reasonable prices when UK artists tour.
 
We have large companies, and small independants within the UK organising extra workshops and classes which is a great insentive but some times we all know it can get very costly.
 
Ive stated before to the PDC that high priced classes just dont work, the bigger the name, the bigger the price, and the more (that may) attend.(less time on pole, & less individual attention).

pole dancing for seriously fun fitness in suffolk & essex

Little Sapphires are a Pole Dance school recognised my leading bodies and the pole community and are taking their role very seriously for the sheer fun of it!! The results that people are getting from using the vertical bar as the perfect alternative of a dance partner, and as the perfect instrument to create a gymnastic feel into a fitness programme is rivalling any past fitness craze!!
 
The qualified and knowledgable instructors (including a male instructor teaching men & women the principles) pride them selves on introducing people to the pole in a fun, safe & effective manner.

FITNESS PLANNING.... FUTURE COMING! xx

 
FITNESS SCHEDULE;
 
Although i maybe teaching pole dancing 2-3 times a week at present i still find myself eating like a horse, and when driving along i feel my belly wobble when i go over bumps.
As a personal trainer, i know i am fairly fit and well, and i know we certainly dont need to be skinny to be fit, FACT!! But i have an image of myself that doesnt fit me any more.
I want to use this blog as my training diary.... it is going to be very truthful to you and myself about where i am at with the Pole Training and where i am at in relation to Cross Training myself to enhance my pole work, it will include my diet regime, my thoughts and feelings as well as summerys of the fitness level, and may be even a video blog to show you the results as i hope my body shape develops.

pole dance classes in suffolk & essex

In 2011.
Pole dance classes are becoming so popular, there seems to be a class being held in nearly every gym or hall i know of, and this is great for all attendee's.
A few years ago, i would have had girls travel to me from afar looking for the best pole dance instruction, it seems now they barely need to leave their street without seeing adverts or finding a gym offering the skill, the sensual art that is pole dance!!
 
In reflection.
Now i feel mixed emotions as pole sport takes its new found place in the lives of many, i feel i am losing the grace that always kept the dance unique.

The Amateur Competition, for beginners to enter and have a chance to compete against others at the same level, this competition has rules & guide lines for all amateurs to stay within the boundries that will enable a fair & fun competition which has to be especially important at this level, at the level of introducing people to the world of competition.

Pole is a Sport for the Little SAPPHIRES.

The Concept behind Little Sapphires as a Pole Sport.
 
Catherine Dachtler of Little Sapphires says, Pole Dance is for every one, every one can do it, every one can enjoy it........ were not all circus trained, gymnastic or dance based 20somethings, we are pretty much unflexible, unfit middle aged women, looking for fun & an excuse to actually enjoy fitness and improve our fitness level.
 
It seems Catherine prides her self on introducing people to pole dance in a particular way that every one can manage and enjoy, and can take part in as a team member longterm without any physical aspects making barriers for longevity in what is now classed as a sport.
