Cat Moves School of Exotic Arts


Introduction

Join us on a tantalizing journey to the realm of emotion, seduction and empowering movement.

Our mission is to help you achieve strength, balance, and self-confidence through the art of exotic dance. Self-discovery begins while connecting with the beauty that is in all of us. Our classes are designed to be safe, supportive and fun while achieving your desired skills.

We begin with a gentle yoga-inspired warm up that offers movement and discovery that is natural and comfortable but also challenging. Taking in the healing energy of the women around you with long deep breathing techniques and movement. You have an opportunity to check in with your heart, mind and body. We continue on while melting into smooth floor movement that will help set the stage for a beautiful routine. Discover the exotic beauty of your own body. Gently and seductively, we introduce you to the pole. We use the pole for balance, connection and celebration. Imagine it being a lover, dance partner or an object of physical strength. Every class is full of ideas and inspiration.

Kitty and Heather are experienced dancers with real exotic dance moves that have taken many years of hard work to perfect. On and off stage our moves are endless and offer a challenging alternative to traditional workouts and dance routines. We have a variety of styles that offer creative outlets for all women at all levels. Spice up a special moment with a partner or do it for fun and entertainment. Celebrate your own unbridled feminine power with Cat Moves.

This series is designed to build your skills week by week. During the course of this series you will move from a beginner to an intermediate pole dancer. This class increases your strength and flexibility. We will cover floor work movement combinations, aerial spins and climbing. We will show you how to create a beautiful flow from one movement to the next and how to develop your personal style. In the final week of the series we give you the opportunity to participate in an optional class performance. This is your time to feel the rush of being on stage while dancing to your favorite song. We offer nothing but positive support and encouragement. There is no judging or competition just the love for pole dancing.

Eight-week series
Experienced pole dancers are invited to this upward bound pole class. Students completing our level 1-2 series are encouraged to take their pole dancing skills to the next level of gravity freedom! Dancers or women that are physically fit attending the class for the first time must be able to support their body weight while climbing up the pole. Please contact us if you have questions about qualifying for this class.

We will develop arm and core strength in this series so that students can master climbing, aerial movement, aerial spins and inversions. We also work to developing flow, personal style and routines. Our routines include visualization, costume, props, music and smooth dismounts. In the final week of this series you will have an opportunity to do a class performance. Choose your own theme including costume, music, and props while expressing yourself through this amazing dance form.

Private Lessons

We offer private and semi private lessons. Private lessons are perfect for women who want to achieve their personal pole dancing skills or exotic dance movements at their own pace. This is a great opportunity for professional performers as well. Each lesson is tailored to fit the needs of the student. A brief interview will be conducted with each student to design a format of the desired skills.
Here are some of the styles of exotic movement we teach:

  •   Pole dancing
  •   Lap dancing
  •   Floor work
  •   Sexy chair dancing
  •   Choreographed routines
  •   Exotic dance with or without props

    What to wear to class:

  •   Yoga pants, work out shorts and tank top. Something you can move in. Bare skin is needed for pole dancing as it assists in grip and static positioning.
  •   Cloth style knee pads (optional). These can be purchased at any sporting goods store for around $10.
  •   4-6 inch exotic dancer shoes (optional)


    • Pole Safety

    Your safety is our number one concern.
    You will be required to sign a release of liability form at the start of each series. Although we pride ourselves in teaching safe movement it is the student's responsibility to refrain from doing moves outside of their physical ability. Students should talk with the instructor before attempting new tricks.
    Please advise your instructor of any old or on going injuries or disabilities so that they can assist you better in your movement.
    Please do not wear any lotion or oils as this makes the pole slippery and can be dangerous.
    We encourage you to progress through the pole work at your own pace. We offer our movements as a guide; the rest is brought to life by the student. We provide individual instruction and attention to each woman so that she can master the techniques that are offered. Our classes are small for this reason. We are supportive and have fun in each and every class.

    Review Classes

    We have review classes for our students. These classes give students an opportunity to review material from a particular level. Review classes are held at the end of each series. All current and former students are welcome to attend reviews that suit their current skill level. Reviews will include an hour of instruction and 30 minutes of open pole practice. REVIEW CLASSES ARE $12. PLEASE RSVP IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND.

    Please see our calendar page for dates and times.

    Specialty Workshops

    We love all forms of dance, and we offer a variety of special workshops. Our workshops allow you to explore all types of movement forms, including burlesque, belly dance, acro-yoga and more! See are calendar page for details.
