3 tips for starting your edgework journey
If you’ve dreamed about mastering the polished precision and fluidity of edgework in heels, you’re not alone. Edgework is the secret ingredient that adds that extra finesse to every step, pirouette, and slide, making your movement magnetic. But when you’re just starting out, it can be hard to know where to begin—especially with such intricate techniques.
Whether you’re just starting or wanting to refine your skills, these three key tips will guide you as you take the step toward slinkery in your heels pole dancing journey.
1. Develop Your Ankle Strength and Mobility
Edgework focuses heavily on precision and control, which means strong, flexible ankles are non-negotiable. Positions like the wing, sickle, and flex require both strength and mobility in your ankles. These positions lay the foundation for beautiful edgework shapes, and mastering them will make all the difference in how clean and sharp your movements look.
Building ankle strength doesn’t happen overnight, but incorporating strength & mobility exercises into your routine can help. The Edgework Artistry course taught by Tati Blue walks you through these positions step by step with targeted drills designed to improve your strength and control. With practice and patience, your ankles will become powerful, poised, and ready for the intricate details of edgework.
2. Add Edgework to your foundational Heels movement
Before jumping into advanced tricks, focus on layering edgework into the heels movements you already know. Moves like pirouettes, slides, and even simple walks can instantly gain that slinky look with edgework details.
The goal isn’t to rush—it’s about weaving edgework into your flow with intention. Take the time to explore your foundational movements with an edgework lens—focus on heel placement, transitions, and angles. The Edgework Artistry course excels in teaching you how to enhance your basics by introducing edgework details, giving every step and slide a cohesive, polished look.
3. Learn Edgework in a structured, progressive way
Edgework is all about precision and strength, and jumping ahead to techniques like double wing turns without mastering the basics is a recipe for frustration. Take it slow and focus on the edgework fundamentals first. Building your skills incrementally ensures that your movements stay clean and controlled, setting you up for future success.
The Edgework Artistry online course is based on Tati Blue’s years of teaching structured edgework courses, and is designed to give you this structured and progressive approach. Starting with the fundamentals, you’ll gradually advance to more complex shapes and flows, and by the end, you’ll have the tools to explore and develop your own unique edgework style. This progression nurtures both your skills and creativity, transforming what once felt impossible into movements that feel natural and uniquely yours.
