Workshops you liked?

I’ve only taken one so far. Amber Richard held one at the school I attend. I was really excited to do so and came away with lots of things to work on. She is patient and so, so nice! I loved it and if she’s coming back anytime soon to my area I would most definitely take her workshop AGAIN! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’ve actually been thinking about the workshops I’ve taken, you learn something different from all, I would NEVER turn down the opportunity for a masterclass/workshop if the finances are ok. A run down of some that I’ve done:
Allegra
I did some privates with her, first time training on 100% spinny, also brilliant for sex-ifying moves, and the warm up that they do at Bobbis is *SO* much fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif The 1-2-1 with her really help with perfecting issues I had, and I was able to learn lots of the ‘bobbi’s special moves’ (plus she’s sooo nice!)Deb Riley
Some of you US based people might not know who she is, she’s a leading instructor and judge in the UK and around the world. She was a judge at last year’s World championships and I think at this years as well. She again made us do almost the entire class on spinny, and taught a load of useful spinny moves. The brilliant thing about her was she emphasised doing *each* move perfectly, whether its a simple invert or pose, and to not just scramble into moves. She is one of the nicest instructors I’ve ever met, and star performers like Felix, Jenyne & Pantera all recommend her personally & professionally.Suzie Q
TBH I didn’t learn as much from this one, I think because the level of attendees was a bit lower than my own. We did do a short doubles routine on spinny which was hilarious and loads of fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifPantera
What is great about pantera is her strength and core excercises, she is an absolute machine, and she also breaks down the body mechanics and almost geometry of the placement of your arms, torso and legs, technique and incorporating breathing. It was very valuable to note for power and strength moves like aysha holds and aerial SMs etc, as how you start the move (placement of the various parts of the body), is directly related to whether you are able to do it. Pantera is so passionate about pole, strength and health, I would have done a private with her in a heartbeat if it’d been available!Alethea Austin
This girl ROCKS. We did the sexy flexy class she’s so famous for, then floorwork, both of which i luurved. If anyone ever wants to improve their floorwork & understand the choreography they should definitely go to her. We didn’t have time for much in the way of tricks, but I had learnt sooo much already I was happy (and exhausted!)I’m off as a spectator to the World’s in a few weeks, I was hoping to do loads of masterclasses while there, but so far the ones available are £100 (about $150 US) for only 1.5 hours. Now while I’m willing to fork out that much for 3 hours, I just can’t justify that cost for such a short class, so I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with watching their awe-inspiring performances.
…wow that was an epic post https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif…
