Way before you become an expert you must understand the lifestyle of a polefessional. As an APA or PAA  you are on a fast track of understanding all of these details that make up a great teacher. You are an entertainer, therapist, sister, friend and your new cohort of your equal peers. Teaching is however the most rewarding experience of your life. With such a great title comes with great responsibility and lots of practice most people are not willing to endure. You must adopt a true love for the pole and it's predecessors. Know your Art inside and out. Address the psychological need of the students who may suffer from body image issues. As well as the overzealous confident diva who claims to "Have gotten it!" The students Sensual Mind Body & Soul may need healing or taming before we get pass that first bump. Be attentive to your students during every little accomplishment. Patience is a true Virtue! Appreciate questions because that means you are being understood, however don't beat up your body thinking a student may learn by watching you over and over again. It all takes practice, we were all once a beginner so teach through your experiences. Not Examples! No one really wants the whole story,Simply Breathe, point your toes enunciate, take your time and flow.

You should sign up for all Pole Pilates Beginner 1 and 2 classes to complete the course. Signing up however doesn't ensure placement with a pole.

If the class is not full and you have a pole, you may FREESTYLE or practice but NO cameras allowed! You must not take the time or attention away from the class however you may take notes and address your questions to the instructor after class. If you are in a class with an APA or PAA, your notes will be addressed anonymously during the next TTP meeting. Hope this helps you understand whats required of you. Hope to see you soon.
