BeSpun

Ever wondered what it’s like to be on the other side of the stage? Here’s your chance! We're excited to share that PSO Pacific & After Dark is looking for judges and volunteers for the upcoming competition in Los Angeles, on September 21-22. Whether you’re an experienced instructor, a student, or just eager to get more involved, there’s a role for you:

✨Interested in Judging?
As a judge, you’ll be scoring performances, offering valuable feedback, and supporting the competitors as they showcase their hard work and talent. Your experience will be matched with the competitors’ skill levels, so you’ll feel right at home.

✨Prefer to Volunteer?
Volunteering is a fantastic way to try out a new role—whether it’s being the first friendly face competitors see at check-in, monitoring the stage, or even providing feedback as a judge. It’s a fun and rewarding way to support our community and be part of the action.

Let’s bring BeSpun’s passion and expertise to the judges’ table or the volunteer team! If you’re interested in getting involved, you can learn more and sign up here:

Get ready to step up your basework game! This more challenging intermediate class will teach you an exotic-style routine choreographed to music.

✨Tilly’s Pole Tricks (Level 3)! Mondays at 8:20p
We will take the skills learned in Pole Tricks Level 2 and build on increasingly advanced moves. Progress will be toward mastering the most advanced pole tricks. Some examples include: Janeiro, No-hand Allegra, Ayesha variations, Brass Monkey variations, etc. A great deal of emphasis will be placed on fluid transitions from one advanced move to another in a controlled and safe manner.

✨Celebrate Logan’s Birthday Month with Lo Flow & Heels (Level 1)! Mondays (Aug 5 & 12) at 6p
We will learn to relish slowing down in choreography and find the pocket in a piece of music. We will explore both classic old school exotic choreography as well as more modern floorwork and basework combos, while learning ways to build muscle memory through freestyle and your body’s own natural patterns and flow. Choreos will repeat monthly, so students will have multiple weeks to live with one piece of choreo and experiment with their own approach to the song.

Don’t forget to book your spot in advance to secure your place in these exciting classes. We can’t wait to see you in the studio!

Join us in celebrating birthday month with a special pop-up class that only happens Mon, August 5-12 at 6PM - LO FLOW & HEELS ✨

Join us in celebrating .a.ir birthday month this February with a special pop-up class by Kyla — Foam Rolling!

Foam rolling is a type of self-myofascial release (or self-massage) that eases muscle tension. Painful trigger points or “knots” lead to muscle tension and dysfunction in the body. Often stretching alone is not enough to alleviate the pain, and frequent deep tissue massage may not be practical. Foam rolling allows the practitioner to use their own body weight to apply pressure to the knots to facilitate relaxation.

✨Learn safe and effective techniques to roll away tension in the body
✨Learn how to use the foam roller for deeper stretches
✨Gain a better understanding of the anatomy and function of the muscles and insights into the possible causes of pain (repetitive movements, muscular imbalances, poor posture, previous injuries, etc.)

ALL LEVELS - NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Recommended to bring your own medium to FIRM foam roller. BeSpun has limited foam rollers to borrow

This class only happens on Friday, February 2, 9, & 16 at noon - take it before it’s gone! 💕

BeSpun.com

Join us Friday, Feb 4 for two incredible workshops with guest artist .silla.ray at BeSpun!

✨ Slow Flow Choreography ~ 5:30-6:45. Dancing with heels on has radically evolved through the pole community’s exposure to Russian and Eastern European pole dancers. This workshop emphasizes technical line and heel work. Includes simple group choreography that combines all techniques and finishes with post-training recovery methods. This class is for students who have minimal experience dancing to movement timed to music without watching a teacher.

✨Sequences & Flow ~ 6:45-7:30p. This is an intermediate/advanced sequenced-based dance class focused on exploring movement around the lower third of the pole. Sequences will be deconstructed into multiple progressions for students to analyze, sample, and freestyle with. Emphasis on technical lines and seamless movement quality. This class is designed for students who already have a solid movement vocabulary and are looking to acquire new skills and pathways.
