Classes are held at two convenient studio locations: 217 W Chruch Rd. in King of Prussia (inside SWEAT FITNESS) as of September 1st 2012. Our second studio location is located in Manayunk, at 4151 Main St., Philadelphia, PA! We welcome all body types, ages, and levels of experience. We also offer private classes, girls night out and bachelorette parties!
Pole dance fitness is the art of using a polished steel or brass pole as a tool and prop in creative dance/fitness routines and freestyle dancing. The pole and transitional moves combine many different forms of dance from ballet to hip hop to salsa and jazz. It also uses many movements taken from gymnastics and pilates, mixed in with freestyle movementsfrom your own imagination!
Here is a video montage taken at our Manayunk Studio launch Party in September 2011!
Pole dance fitness is a fantastic cardio interval workout, increasing the heart rate and burning fat, while strengthening and toning muscles, and increasing your flexibility. Expect to burn 250-400 cal/hour. It also boosts your confidence and improves your self-image, offering you a complete package for body and soul. You will build stamina and the muscles you need for that lean, toned dancer’s physique.
We focus on safety and fitness in our classes at Awakenings. All of our instructors are not only certified in group fitness, but they also have many hours of teacher training required in order to make sure that the instructor can not only perform the skills, but can also break them down and teach them in a safe way. Our instructors have also trained with world champion pole dancers like Jenyne Butterfly, Pantera Blacksmith, Jamilla Deville, Karol Helms, Amber Richard, Hanka Venselaar, Alethea Austin and Marlo Fisken, in private and small group settings all at our own studio in King of Prussia! You can check out some of the demos that our pole-idol guests have performed for us on our video page. You can also see what our pole star guests have to say about us as well.
