If you are unable to make any of the meetings, recordings will be available and you must make up the missed physical assignments via video submission.

Additional topics include the science of pole movement, basic anatomy and anatomical considerations, classroom and teaching tips, how to lead effective warm ups and cool downs, how to create basic choreography, how to handle accidents and emergencies and so much more!
