Pixie Kat's Technical Guide for Beginner Spin Pole

This is a technical guide for beginner spin pole. Though not an entire curriculum, this text is to help establish a strong baseline for further advancement. It covers some ideas for warm ups, the base staple beginner tricks, advancements and regressions for those tricks, and some floorwork ideas as well. Created for teachers to better understand the basics, and have better tools to help their students succeed. Included photos help establish good positioning as you teach entry to these tricks and what to watch for and avoid to give your students the tools for success. Though written for instructors, may also help students establish better techniques and reduce the intensity of bruising as well. This guide may even help more established dancers hone better technique to help save energy and enhance their performance.

My goal for this book is not to teach you one or two tricks, but a set of movements that you can build upon and help you transition to more challenging movements, which beginner moves help set us up for the next level, and what regressions and progressions are available. I wrote this book to help instructors and students both hone the basic techniques which will help them succeed their pole journey, while offering accessibility to all who come into the studio. This text is designed for instructors, but can be useful as a student reference as well. Good technique leads to less bruising and pain, and can help your students have a better experience when they are starting.
