Workshops at The Land of Lakes Pole Dance Festival

Grounding Performance Preparation and flexibility

"Blessed are the flexible. for they shall never be bent out of shape," is a common quote used Koreen Valdovinos, body and mind flexibility expert, owner of Open MInds Fusion Studio, yogini, teacher and teacher-lead of the Earth Goddess movement.

When you allow yourself to be turned on and tuned in, your brightest light will shine. When you are grounded your fears fade into a power you can harness, on the stage, in front of a crowd or performing a difficult task for your own betterment.

Learn tantric, sensual, and yogic techniques for grounding that also doubles as not only a mental warm up, but a physical warm up to add fluidity and grace into your performances and everyday life. Empowerment, Goddess energy, flow! Let's own the power of our own sensuality and beauty, by way of movement, yoga movement, flexibility and self-love.

Transcending Transitions

with Michelle Mynx

Learn to float, twirl, and dance through your sequences in this 75-min workshop with pole star, Michelle Mynx! This class is great for everyone from those just getting comfortable doing inverted tricks to the more advanced who are looking for creative ways to flow and twirl through your existing combos and beyond.

Looking for more focus on static flow transitions? Feeling great about the repertoire of moves you are building but not so great about getting from one to another?

Or are you just getting comfortable with inversions but stuck when it comes to flowing them together? You will learn to find the formula to string your
personal favorite tricks and combos together with continued movement
and grace and with the least amount of hand traffic and adjusting
possible.
