core strength. i learned what this means through the six-week pole intensive and the six-week kettle-bell and pole fusion classes. with vicky's patient and encouraging approach, i discovered strengths and skills i never knew i had. be prepared to push yourself. the short term pain means long term gain. by gain, i mean stronger arms, leaner legs, and a tougher core. and i'm not just referring to your abs and back, but what thrives inside you: what you see come to life when the teachers at shockra show you how to move.
i'm a working grad student with very little time or money. the strength and confidence i've gained from shockra have been well worth the investment, as so much depends on the strength of your core. and it's fun! drop in and see for yourself.
i used to take classes here regularly, but pole dancing is not recommended for pregnant ladies like me. i definitely plan on returning after i give birth to get my pre-preggers figure back!
Pros: great instructors; small, intimate setting
