Jeannie N.
Meet Jeannie, a passionate and determined individual who embarked on her fitness journey at Elite with the aim of integrating flexibility and conditioning into her heavy powerlifting program. Her dedication paid off as she achieved top 10 all-time rankings, and earning her a spot at the Worlds two years in a row. Along the way, it led her to become certified in strength and conditioning while continuing her healing benefits from dance.
Recognizing the importance of balance and rest, Jeannie decided to take a step back from powerlifting and redirected her focus towards building overall strength for better overall health. This shift has her go all in to pole dancing, where she found a captivating and enjoyable form of exercise that contributed to her body's and minds well-being.
Jeannie had the opportunity to perform in Elite Showcases, and even compete, achieving first-place victory in her category at PSO Liberty 2023. With a continuous passion for fitness and an unwavering determination to push her boundaries, Jeannie continues her journey here at Elite.
Jeannie N. instructs the following:
-
Pole Strength & Conditioning
This class focuses exclusively on strength building for pole! Conditioning classes are perfect if you’re looking to advance faster, break past plateaus, and to prevent injuries. Conditioning classes are open to all levels – newbies welcome!
-
Open Pole & Aerial
This is an Open Pole & Aerial Practice time. There will be a guided warm up and an instructor available for spotting/questions, but no instruction.
-
Pole Level 1 (must have completed Intro level)
This level works to build the coordination and technique for more complicated skills. We will work on more advanced sits and climbs (forearm climb, side climb), knee holds like jasmine and martini, and get comfortable with more complicated and demanding spin tricks. We will work on building strength for our choppers and getting comfortable in basic inversions.
When is it time to level up?
When you have a strong forearm climb on both static and spin. You have a strong chair spin, and you can invert into and hold a bat comfortably. Your tucks should be strong, and you should be close to or able to do a chopper.
-
Pole FLOW: Beginner Level
This is our foundational level Flow class! We will start with a warm-up, and then learn a piece of basic choreography together to “perform” for ourselves (and your cameras, if you like) at the end of class. We do require that students have taken a minimum of 3 Intro to Pole classes prior to their first Flow class, as we want you to have some familiarity with pole and the basic spins to help follow the choreography as it is taught. Knee pads and socks are strongly recommended (heels optional).
-
Intro to Pole (First Level)
This is our foundational level and is designed for brand newbies and beginner-level polers. We will work on all the basics to build strength for the next level up, and the coordination needed to take our choreography-based classes (called Pole Flow). You will learn basic pole spins, pivot turns, climbs, and sits.
This is a pole-sharing class. This style is great for students who like a higher energy vibe, want to meet new people/socialize more, and/or want a little more rest time between tricks.
When is it time to level up?
When you can do a fireman spin and back-hook spin, can easily get into a pole sit, have a strong basic climb to the ceiling, and can climb into a sit. You should be able to tuck with both feet off the floor. Instructor approval is required to move up to Level 1.
