Online Teacher Workshop: Training Hypermobile Pole Dancers / Part 2

If you are purchasing this session for your studio, all participants must be present at the same time in the same login device. Do not share the zoom link, recordings, and accompanying PDFs with others. Email us with questions!

This workshop is geared toward pole teachers, but pole students who are hypermobile are welcome to join. 

Part 1 revealed way hypermobile bodies can work differently on and off the pole and provided sensory exercises to help students develop proprioception during warm ups.

This next 2 hour session will continue the lessons, tips, and techniques pole coaches can use to keep their hypermobile students safe during pole class. 

Mændy Mac is a pole coach diagnosed with hEDS, and has been working with dancers of all types for almost 20 years. While pole dancers with hypermobility will have different needs, Mændy will share information she has learned from her own body and from working with bodies in the pole and aerial industry to help coaches understand these variances and ultimately assist hypermobile students on their pole journey. 

Learn how hypermobile bodies can work differently, and apply techniques that focus on preventing hypermobile students from injuries in pole tricks that twist, bind, and bear weight. 

The session will end with breathing exercises and tips to help hypermobile pole dancers be more mindful of their bodies, release tension, and calm the nervous system. 

Pole attire is recommended for those willing to demonstrate the techniques described, but having a pole at home is not required.
