First Steps

About Course

Hello! My name is Olena Minina, I’m multiple Ukrainian, European, World Pole Art and Pole sport champion. I’m doing Pole dance and teaching it around 10 years.

Welcome to my online course “First Steps”.

This course is for people with or without any background who wants to start Pole dancing. There will be 8 lessons + warm up, workout and stretching to prepare your body for the pole tricks.

Each lesson has a topic, and consists of different moves. The lessons are in the order from easiest to more difficult. You can either choose some movements from different lessons when you train, or you can do the lessons one by one with all the moves inside. I suggest you to learn all the basic moves on the both sides. Don’t forget to do warm up before every training.
