New and Popular at Body Electric!
We have so many fun classes to choose from at Body Electric and we’re always making new additions to our extensive timetable. Our aim is to provide an exciting, welcoming and inclusive space for all!
Here’s a selection of our finest!
‘Pole Grooves’
Without a doubt one of the most popular classes at Body Electric – and for good reason! With new choreography each week taught by a variety of instructors, Pole Grooves is always exciting, fresh and fun. ANYONE who has taken a few Beginner 1 classes can take Pole Grooves classes. In fact, we recommend it!
Pole Grooves does wonders to develop students’ dance repertoire, co-ordination and confidence. Regularly booked out, we recommend that students book into their Pole Grooves classes well in advance.
Join us for a dance class that is accessible, challenging, sexy and fun!!
‘Russian Flow’ and ‘Showgirl Flow’
At Body Electric we are passionate about exploring new and developing pole dance styles as they emerge. Pole dance as a genre is constantly growing and developing its own unique and distinct sub genres. Our ‘Flow’ classes, aimed at Intermediate level students and above, incorporate specific pole styles, which commonly emphasise making dance movements merge seamlessly into one another, while incorporating physically demanding floor and pole-based elements.
‘Russian Flow,’ classes incorporate a style of pole dancing which began making waves in the international pole community less than a decade ago with dancers/teachers like Olga Koda and Eva Bembo. These classes features sharp movements vs super-sexy flow, geometric body shapes and gymnastics-style skills.
Classique pole styles are the primary source of inspiration for our ‘Showgirl Flow’ classes, which incorporate an older style of pole dance as defined by pioneers in the pole industry like Bobbi and Felix Cane (Australia) in the 1990’s. ‘Showgirl Flow’ classes are all about smooth, beautiful transitions, leggy moves showcasing splits, dynamic and often fast dance movement including pirouettes and kips, alongside hair flicks, heel slams and loads of sass.
Our Flow classes are perfect for established students of pole who are drawn to new moves and challenging choreography that requires flexibility, strength and co-ordination. Kneepads, legwarmers and heels, so often identified with classic pole dance styles, are a characteristic feature of this class.
‘Advanced Flips’
This thrilling new class and niche addition to the Body Electric timetable is a specialist class which focuses on more advanced pole flip content, and the dynamic movement and grip switches fundamental to it.
Not for beginner level students OR the faint-hearted, this class is ideal for students at Intermediate 2 level and above who are comfortable with intermediate entry level flips, possess solid ayeshas using a variety of grips (true, twisted, elbow and shotgun) and have an ability to execute aerial shouldermounts competently and confidently.
Please see our MindBody booking site for further information on the content of this class, and contact the studio if you need assistance working out whether it is appropriate for you.
‘Poleuptuous Pole’ with Louise Macpherson
This amazing new addition to our timetable has been created by, and for, plus-size students, and is taught by our very own talented and voluptuous pole instructor, Louise Macpherson! Whatever your fitness level, whether you want to build strength, flexibility or stamina, develop unstoppable self-confidence, or just slink around feeling sexy, Poleuptuous is the class for you!
Plus-size women can face specific physical challenges in their pole dance practice, and this class is geared towards not only these challenges, but also the advantages – like having thicker thighs to grip the pole! But don’t let us tell you – come along to a class with Louise and she will SHOW you, and expertly guide you on your journey towards becoming just as badass a pole dancer as she is!
