Launching a chair dance class at any pole studio offers a fresh, inspiring activity to its students and attracts a wider audience. Chair Dance Express gives a new context to the skills that pole dancers are already having, translating tricks and shapes to a chair.

There is much more to that. With the CHDE course both, performing and teaching skills, are deepened, trained and enlarged. There is a new dimension added: to feel emotionally alive while dancing on a chair through connecting with music, navigating energy expression, and story-telling. These added layers make a massive difference to the way the class feels to a participant and is executed.

Sometimes we watch a specific dance and for some reason, it attracts us more, hits us deeper, makes us feeling mesmerised – even though we don’t know why. Usually, it is because the person that moves is not only performing a sequence of steps or poses but also consciously engages energy to a motion, mindfully lives the experience fully.

The Chair Dance Express course is supporting Instructors in aligning all the layers. It gives detailed insights into how to get their students there too, regardless of their starting level.

Pole dance Instructors or pole dance students that chose to start their education with our course will learn a wide range of sensual energies (4 Energy Flows of Body Expressive Method). They can choose the flow they feel comfortable with for their predominant style.

If you are teaching chair dance or Burlesque already, you are probably wondering why would you undertake Express style and does it make a difference?

The Chair Dance Express’ take on dancing with a chair is much different from the classical chair dance, and especially Burlesque.

We have instructors of both categories taking our course and sharing with us how much broader it is, and because of it: accessible to a larger audience.

The types of choreographies included in the Chair Dance Express are much more diverse. All of them have a touch of sensuality and contain traditional chair moves, but the range of flavours of feminity is defined on a large scale.

We train Instructors to recognise and name different flavours (along with music types) and play with them, creating in each class something fresh.

Story-telling and emotional engagement is also new aspect of a chair class. The very clear methodology shows you step-by-step how every piece of dance is strongly and precisely feelable. This way your students can let go and surrounder to music and expression completely.

The concept is really flexible, you can create a class that attracts an audience that would go to any aerobics session (so really everyone, fun chair session). You can alternatively build up levels in which there is more challenge in terms of comfort zone and sexiness.

Focus and teaching of Chair Dance Express class require a mind shift, as the feeling is more important than a step performance. Paradoxically, the result is the opposite. Dance is much more connectable, touchable, and emotionally passionate.

Launching a chair dance Express style in a dance school or a gym fitness is a great, fun addition to the existing schedule. A chair as a dance attribute gives so much space for creativity and imagination.

Since the Chair Dance Express is a musical class, it also has a cardio effect to it (we dance and dance and dance).

Certified Instructors get educated to prepare and teach choreographies on various styles (4 Energy Flows by the Body Expressive Method) so the class is stimulating and inspiring. Music type can change from week to week – keeping people curious and refreshed.

The sexy vibe of the class can be enhanced or subtle, depending on an audience’s preferences.

An additional aspect – that is a core value to the Chair Dance Express – is the possibility to learn and then teach a choreography that feels very expressive (energy, face, emotions). You can feel a person dancing, not only see the sequence of steps on the music.

The Chair Dance Express classes, depending on their shape can be taught both to adults (with more sensuality) and children (with a more fun vibe).

Just because you have no experience as an instructor or even a chair dance practice doesn’t mean you can’t become great at it with our education.

Passion, dedication, practice, open mind are four main elements necessary to transform yourself.

The lack of experience can give you a clear and open mind to learn new concepts without preconditions. The full programme prepares you in absolutely all dimensions: general dancing, dancing with a chair, teaching, creating an atmosphere, building a class,  performing a choreography, communicating, and advertising.

The course is full of pre-recorded choreography sessions, lead in a natural “real-class” environment. You will have a possibility to undertake around 20 hours of it. All these with different music, different instructors.
