As more and more pole dancing studios open across the country, there is a need for well trained instructors.  The DivaFit method is unique in that it is a fitness based workout, and not just spin instruction.  Students each have their own pole, and move for an entire hour using dance steps, spins, and finally, floorwork.  Lisa Peklo, the founder of DivaFit, has a degree in Exercise Science and has been an ACE Certified Personal Trainer for over 10 years.  The DivaFit program is based on giving students a progressive, safe, fun and empowering workout.

Course Information 
This two-day workshop teaches instructors how to safely instruct a beginner to intermediate pole class. 

The course will cover:

• 4 beginner spins, and 5 intermediate spins – how to teach them, safety tips and modifications
• A multitude of dance moves around the pole
• Floor moves to compliment the class
• How to structure a full workout – class sequencing and formats
• Master classes for both the beginner and intermediate level
• How to make your class unique and draw students back time and again

This workshop is recommended for anyone with previous pole or fitness experience.  Participants will receive The DivaFit Workout DVD and a comprehensive training manual with everything covered during the course, and a Certificate of Completion which qualifies one to teach a DivaFit style class.  This course is American Council On Exercise (ACE) approved and participants will receive 1.5 CECs at the completion of the course.
