Pole for Bendies w/ Jenna Ciotta

This workshop will explore ways to wrap, twist, and bend around that unforgiving steel rod we lovingly refer to as Chinese Pole. Though it's an apparatus that lends itself to feats of great strength, there is the potential to express a more fluid, flowing, and flexible style of movement on the apparatus, and that's precisely what we'll be doing today. Not every student will get to attempt every skill, but every student will be offered a roadmap for each skill we cover.

Students should be able to climb to the top of the pole comfortably and invert comfortably from the middle of the pole (as opposed to from the ground).
