Beginner Exotic Pole Online Course or Tutorials
Hi Veeners
Does anyone know, if there are some good Exotic Pole Beginner online courses out there? Or some good tutorials with the very basic movements? I think about basic elements like steps, turns, transitions like the diamond knee pirouette and something like that. I’m not looking for online zoom classes or choreos, I would like to learn moves or little combos which are basic and fundamentals (moves that are seen a lot).
It doesn’t matter if free or paid. I’m looking for a course or individual tutorials either with explanation or with slow down movement to follow along.

Hi! On Insta, Chloe Anderson Pole had a Low Flow challenge in April or May with lots of transitional moves in, was really helpful

How to exotic courses are very good. Polina goes through all the steps very thoroughly. You can also check out her instagram

The exotic course from polina ginger looks great, thanks for the advice.
Although it is a course format I don’t really like, with chat and with limited access. But I will track that.Thanks for the other suggestions. Insta challenges is not what I’m really looking for because there is mostly no deeper explanation, the moves are shown only without further information.

You’ll see more exotic here as some point.

Ohhh…do you plan to make some exotic move tutorials Veena? That would be great!!
-
Yes. I can’t commit to when though.
-
I recommend https://exoticacademy.com/ (until Veena adds her tutorials, of course!).
It’s a self paced course, not just random tutorials.
-
That looks like a good website! With something like that available I don’t know that I’ll worry about exotic lessons here.

I was subscribed for some time and it’s good to learn the exotic basics, the videos are in progressive order and they include tips and technique explanations, etc. The downside is that video and audio quality was not good for some “guest†instructors, but the main videos were fine. I believe they revamped the site recently so hopefully they fixed this. They didn’t update often either and there weren’t many videos, so when I did almost everything I cancelled my subscription. But I would recommend it for someone who wants to start Exotic, maybe least 2-3 month subscription. I wouldn’t go with the yearly subscription out of the gate.
123poling, OpenDance Academy and Cleosrocknpole have exotic tutorials too, but those are random, not a course. That’s why I recommend Exotic Academy.
Anyway, most of the transitions like pole plié, body waves, shoulder slides… and tricks like the wrist sit, Jamilla, handstands, etc. are basics of exotic as well, regardless if they are labeled like that or not!
The rule of gold of exotic is heels off the floor. Also, arms do most of the work, even if it looks like it’s legs. Exotic is my jam so I’ve done research and training… here is something I posted on IG 😉

That’s the thing I don’t think most ppl get. It’s not easy or beginner stuff just because you don’t always to tricks. The arms to soooo much work! Love the creative!!!!!
-
Thanks!!! Exactly, exotic can be really hard even if you stay on the floor most of the time ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

Please add exotic here veena 💓 I did polina ginger flow base and she is amazing authentic. But limited access and cost makes it hard for me to continue. I did not care for exoticdanceacademy. I felt technique lacking especially after learning from polina on how it should be done.
