FROM THE HEELS UP - Level 1
Build strong foundations in heel technique & dance in 4 Weeks with Jazzy K
March 5 - April 9, 2022
Want to feel strong, graceful & sensual when you dance in your heels?
To become a beautiful dancer you need to develop strong technique – from the heels up. In “From the Heels Up”, a 4-week Foundational Mentorship in heels based pole dance with Jazzy K, you will develop strong heelwork, graceful lines and begin to understand and develop your unique dance style (please note we no longer use the term “exotic”).
In this exclusive program, Jazzy will mentor a small group of dancers, allowing Jazzy to provide you with personalised feedback each week & to share all her secrets to help you create your own beautiful style. We are confident you’ll make more progress in this 4 week program than you’ve made in the last 4 months training on your own!

This Mentorship is strictly limited to 25 places
What will I learn?
Week 1 - Heel Technique
Would you like to learn how to use your shoe as a part of your dance, to create beautiful, seamless lines and flows? In Week 1, you’ll learn how to distribute your weight on the platform & understand how your heel can become an extension of your leg. Discover how to use the very front tip & the side edges and how to include these into your movements.
Week 2 - Flow Through Waves
Would you like to look bendier when you dance & improve transitions between moves? Many of us have learned a body wave as a move, but in heels-based pole dance styles they are hidden in almost every move! This week you will discover how to use your spine intentionally to create waves in different forms. This will elevate the quality of your movement, while you also improve your flow during transitions.
Week 3 - Leg Swirls
Do you love the twirling, swirling movements seen on your favourite dancers? The movement of your legs using the rotation of your hips can increase the dimensionality and flow in your dancing immensely. In Week 3 we will look at different techniques to improve your range of motion and how to incorporate all kind of leg swirls into your dance movements.
Week 4 - Heel Technique - Slides & Glides
Do you envy the way your favourite dancers slide over the floor and make it look as if they are floating? In Week 4, we will break down the techniques and help you understand how to achieve this. We will focus on improving how you use your platforms in different ways, and focus on incorporating these techniques into your moves. Let’s get you gliding like a figure skater!
