I
took
a
Saturday
“pole
vixen”
class
here,
which
changed
from
the
class
originally
on
the
schedule
at
that
time.
There
was
a
short
stretching/warm
up
session,
learning
a
combination
of
moves,
and
then
repeating
multiple
times.
The
class
was
different
than
I
expected
and
I’d
like
to
share
why,
in
case
it’s
helpful.
I’d
be
happy
to
return
to
take
a
different
class
in
the
future
and
update
my
review
-
it’s
just
based
on
this
one
class
right
now
and
so
it
might
be
skewed.
(Beginner
classes
might
be
different?)
I’ve
taken
mixed
level
combo
classes
at
other
studios,
and
instructors
have
thoroughly
explained
moves
and
tricks,
and
progressions
for
each.
When
teaching
a
short
routine,
they
(at
other
studios)
would
teach
short
segments
at
a
time,
each
building
on
the
previous
(so
trick
1
a
few
times,
then
tricks
1
and
2,
then
tricks
1,
2,
and
3,
etc.)
That
format
is
especially
helpful
for
newer
students.
In
this
class,
we
learned
the
routine
altogether
and
then
repeated
it
to
practice,
then
repeated
it
multiple
times
with
a
different
song
each
time.
The
class
was
fun
and
the
instructor
(who
I
think
was
the
owner?)
is
a
great
dancer
and
brought
good
energy.
I
would
love
to
take
a
class
with
her
on
performing
and
connecting
with
the
audience.
However,
I
am
not
sure
I
would
recommend
this
specific
class
to
a
beginner,
because
it
was
more
of
a
follow-the-leader
type
format
rather
than
thorough
explanations.
For
example,
we
did
a
pirouette
in
one
part,
but
there
wasn’t
much
explanation
at
all
on
hand
placement
which
can
be
confusing
to
someone
who
hasn’t
done
one
before.
I
took
a
mixed
class
at
another
studio
last
week
where
the
instructor
talked
through
everything
about
the
pirouette
as
she
demonstrated,
talked
through
again
as
we
did
it
too,
then
again,
and
then
walked
around
to
make
sure
we
were
each
comfortable.
That
level
of
detail
was
not
present
here
-
the
pirouette
was
one
piece
of
the
combination
and
it
felt
like
the
instruction
was
more
like
do
this
spin,
and
then
we
moved
on.
(It’s
very
possible
the
instructor
was
watching
everyone
to
make
sure
they
got
it,
but
there
were
several
moves
that
I
definitely
did
not
grasp
quickly
because
they
were
new
to
me
and
because
I
need
a
more
detailed
walkthrough.)
I
would
have
loved
if
the
instructor
gave
a
quick
intro
at
the
beginning
of
class
or
a
welcome
as
new
students
walked
in.
The
studio
space
itself
is
cool
and
the
studio
name
is
present
at
the
bottom
plate
of
each
pole,
which
was
also
cool.
The
giant
mirror
was
great
and
the
placement
of
the
poles
allowed
each
student
to
have
a
complete
view
of
themselves.
