ONLINE Teacher Workshop: Trauma-Informed Pole Coaching / Part 2
All Levels
This workshop is geared toward pole teachers, prospective pole teachers, and pole students who are interested in learning more.
This 2 hour session led by therapist and pole dancer, Anaïs Baptiste will dive deeper on the last conversations we had to further empower pole coaches with tips and techniques to make their pole classes safer spaces for students who have experienced trauma or use pole dance training as movement therapy.
The goal of this workshop is to give pole coaches the tools to provide a safe space for exploration, allowing participants to reclaim their bodies through pole dancing. Pole dancing students may experience an array of emotions when they practice, and as pole coaches we are not always equipped with the knowledge to help these students feel safe. We are so grateful for Anaïs to come and fill in those spaces of our training to help us become more trauma-informed coaches.
Anaïs Baptiste has a Master's Degree from the Smith College for Social Work and is a compassionate therapist whose work is grounded in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches.
With experience in youth development, queer and gender-expansive communities, and supporting individuals within sex work, Anais brings a deep understanding and respect for diverse lived experiences. As a Black queer woman, she is dedicated to advocating for and celebrating marginalized communities by fostering a therapeutic space filled with laughter, validation, and authenticity.
Her practice emphasizes liberation and joy and takes a warm, holistic, and collaborative approach, prioritizing creative, non-carceral solutions that honor each client’s unique journey.
This session will begin by answering any lingering questions anyone had from Part 1.
Anaïs will offer more examples on the topic of trauma in the body, trauma responses, words and phrases to stay away from, and how to navigate the situation when someone has been triggered.
Then a longer time will be given for discussion to allow all participants to feel heard and supported in the ways they can address trauma in their pole classes and ways everyone can continue trauma informed work on their own.
This session will not require pole dancing so no pole required at home. Wear something comfortable that makes you feel good.
