The Pointe & Edgework Program PART 1 - Group classes

After teaching it in private classes for years, I am now offering my original heelwork program focusing on edgework in an online group class setting!

This is for all my technique nerds, for anyone who wants to learn edgework with my tried and tested methodology focusing on building understanding, awareness and confidence in edgework step by step, from the basics up.

Join me online on Fridays from 7:15pm to 8:30pm CEST to learn bewitching pathways and movement possibilities with your heels, in a small group setting of 8 people max, where you will get plenty of individual feedback. We are currently working with an existing group and places are sold out, stay tuned for the opportunity to start with a new group in the future!

The full investment for all 12 classes is 420€ (35€ per class).

This is a LIVE online offering so please ensure that you are able to commit to attending this program, as recordings will not be sold separately (read more on this in the “How does this go” section below).

About the program

Are you hungry to invest in your heelwork education? This program is for anyone who already has experience pole dancing in heels, and wants to dive deep into the magic of footwork. I am so passionate about footwork in all types of footwear, but footwork in heels holds a very special place in my heart and it makes me so happy to share my complete nerdiness with others! If you are hungry to understand and explore new and different ways of moving, then this program might be for you!

In this program we will be exploring edgework (acessing and using all edges of the shoe with a wide range of ankle movements, exploring flex, wing and sickle) and pointework (dancing on the very front tip of the platform in maximum plantar flexion with a super pointed foot aesthetic).

We will start working from the basics of edgework, so no previous edgework experience is necessary. And if you have dabbled a bit in edgework by yourself already, I am sure that my approach and technique will be new to you, and help you gain new insights and a much deeper technical understanding of these movement logics.

All classes include conditioning, technique, sequences and playtime exploration. Plus some classes will be extra special to integrate edgework even more into our dance, but I will keep that a surprise for now!

For my current edgework students, please keep in mind that this is exactly the same program I already teach via private classes!!

How does this go?

All clases are 75 mins long and are taught via Zoom in English
There are 12 classes in this first part of the program, the full price is 420€, which is 35€ per class. We start on the 15th of September (keep scrolling to find all the class dates).
This is a small group offering with 8 students max, as it is very important to me that everyone gets plenty of individualised feedback.
As part of the program, you will have access to personalised feedback from me for the duration of the program if you like. You can send me weekly videos (via Telegram or Instagram) practicing class content and I will provide feedback for you within a couple of days max.
Because feedback will be very important, these online classes are designed to be taken live. If you have to miss a class and you let me know in advance, as an exception, you will get access to watch the class recording online for 3 days (I will send this recording to you once you let me know you are available/recovered).
This is meant as an exception only once or twice, and will not apply if you consistently miss the classes, in this case you will simply lose the class you missed. Please ensure that you are able to commit to attending these classes when signing up.
The only pre-requisites when joining the program are that you need to have some pole experience (you should feel comfortable using different grips on the pole and you should be relatively comfortable with upper body engagement, floating upright with your feet off the floor) and some experience dancing in heels (you should feel confident and safe walking and turning in heels with the pole).
You will need stripper heels, I recommend 8” but please prioritise comfort and safety, anything 7” or higher will work fine. Sandals work best, but boots are also ok. Occasionally you might need kneepads too. You will need a pole, an electronic device to watch the class (please make sure I can see as much of you as possible) and I super recommend having your phone nearby to film yourself with so you can remember and practice class content outside the classes.
This is NOT an instructor training or certification, If you are a teacher, you are welcome to take my classes but you may not copy my content, methodology or sequences to teach in your own classes or distribute class material without my consent. You may use the knowledge you acquire as a base upon which to explore and come up with your own original movements and technique to then teach. You may not use videos practicing my class content to promote your own classes or pass my technique off as your own. If you want to know more, check my intellectual property rules here.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Testimonials Edgework Group

I have taken 2 of the pointe and edgework programs with Teresa (Polefiction). The classes are full of challenging, creative and fun transitions utilizing all of the parts of the shoe. The classes are the perfect size so we can ask questions (as many as we want) and they are explained with great detail. As an instructor, she is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. I have loved taken classes with Teresa and will continue to do so for as long as they are offered!

-Kim

I took Teresa's first pointe & edgework class series and am currently half way through her second series and it is absolutely worth the investment!

From a cost perspective, you are getting a great bang for your buck. Although it's a group class, the group is small and each student gets individual attention and feedback throughout class. We are always encouraged to interrupt if we need modifications or clarifications. We are also encouraged to record our practice outside of class so she can give us feedback. Teresa's feedback is very detailed but always encouraging and helpful.

The class content has been wonderful and it leaves me feeling like I have a much deeper grasp of the technical aspects of edgework and pointework. We are always given the chance to integrate what we learned via prompted freestyles during class although this is done in a way that doesn't put pressure on you. Teresa will push you to work at your best but is also a kind and considerate teacher who will encourage you and work within any limitations you might have.

If you want to get into the world of edgework, I would absolutely recommend this course!

-Kishanda

You can't expect to have better technical and detailed explanation of heelwork than in these classes. Teresa's knowledge and precision when teaching is addictive. Her combos are mesmerizing and they look super intrincated, so the more surprised you are when you realize you can dance them too and make the shapes you're supposed to after taking her classes. The hard work pays off so it's very satisfying.
