S Factor 

The Movement of the Feminine 

AlloySteelGrace19-Ellice-4841 (1).jpg
"S Factor® is a feminine movement practice - a sensuous workout for body and soul that’s intelligently designed to open the female body into her full, free, erotic expression."
Most S Factor classes are open to women identified folx only. When women gather with other women an opportunity for free self expression and sensual exploration is created. A place for healing and reclaiming the feminine body can occur in spaces that are geared towards acknowledging the way the female body has been disjointed in our culture. However, we know that the construct of the feminine is only one part of a larger range of expressions in the body regardless of gender. We also offer All Gender S Factor classes so everyone, regardless of gender, can explore the sensual parts of themselves.

Studio Classes
It is our goal to meet the specific needs of each of our students. We focus on developing an understanding of the importance of building strength and stamina, while using proper technique. This is essential to your safety and continued growth as a pole dancer. If you have some experience with Pole but are uncertain about your level, please register for the Intro/Pole Foundations (L1) class, and the Instructor can help assess your current ability. If you have never taken a pole class, please start here as well.

Each class will focus either on the lower body to increase straddle and splits mobility or on the spine and upper body to improve backbending and shoulder range of motion. Most stretches taught focus on active flexibility and will increase strength and stability to safely mobilize the joints and reduce the active/passive gap.
