The Pivot Class Guide
Your studio has pivots. Now what?
You’ve brought the pivot into your space, but a great pivot class doesn’t happen by accident. It needs its own structure, its own warm up, and its own way of teaching. This guide gives you and your instructors the ideas, plan, and road map to launch your curriculum and fill your classes.
A class designed from beginning to end
A pivot class is unlike any other pole class, and this guide walks you through every stage.
Prepare the body. Prime balance, proprioception, and the vestibular system before students ever step onto the pivot.
Make it approachable. Introduce the pivot in a way that feels accessible for every student, at every level.
Explore safely. Encourage creative exploration inside a safe, supportive container.
Grow confident learners. Develop self trusting students, not just advanced dancers.
Close with care. End class with movement, vestibular, and energetic resets before sending students back into the world.
What’s included
Inside the guide, you’ll find a complete downloadable teacher training manual, a 20 minute warm up video made for the pivot class experience, and a video of a full pivot class in action.
You’ll also get teaching structure and class planning guides, philosophy of excellent teaching tools, and a cool down ritual with suggested practices and exercises.
