Introduction to Movement and Pole Dance for Women Over 40
Workshop Format
Join us at Santa Fe Pole Arts in Santa Fe, NM on November 8, 2025 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm.
$55 per person.
This workshop is designed for individuals over 40 who have a curiosity about or interest in pole dancing and pole fitness. We invite you to try something new, step out of your comfort zone, and explore the world of pole dance and movement.
You don't need prior dance or gymnastics experience. We are looking for beginners who are ready to feel sexy and free!
A: You can choose to be daring or conservative! Or wear something comfortable, but bring something a little more racy to change into once you are feeling relaxed. This could mean workout shorts, a tank top, a sports bra, a bikini, or lingerie... use your imagination! And remember, we are not shy here, and all bodies are beautiful and deserve to be celebrated, including yours!
A: You can choose to wear high heels if you have them and are comfortable walking and moving in them. Platform heels are better than wedges or stilettos. Pleasers and Hella Heels are the standard! HOWEVER, bare feet work really well too.
This experience will give you back as much as you put into it. Choose clothes and shoes that are going to make you feel like a sexy pole goddess!
A: You do not have to be flexible to participate in this workshop. We will be prepared with modifications for anyone with mobility challenges, including limited range of motion, knee, shoulder, or back pain or injury, weak hand grip, arthritis, or balance issues.
A: We bet you are stronger than you think you are ;) But the answer is NO. You start from where you are, and strength builds over time as you practice pole. We will not ask you to hang by your feet or to support your entire weight with one arm!
A: As Gen Xers, we appreciate all types of music. For this workshop, we will be dancing to songs you know from the 80s/90s/2000s. We will move to R&B, Hip Hop, and Rock to experience the way different types of music inspire our movement.
A: Yes. If you are a beginner and you are ready to join your GenX sisters, we welcome you to our community!
