Last October 31st, on Halloween Night, one of the best pole event in Montreal happened for the 3rd year in a row : The Community Halloween Pole Show. A show where everyone from any studio in the Greater Montreal is invited to showcase their best moves in a Halloween themed friendly competition. This year, we had two categories : Beginner/Intermediate and Advanced. The winner from each category, amongst other really cool prices, got to partner up with Calmness Hotline and create a special workshop. That means you too can learn some of the most impressive tricks from their routine!

WHY TAKE THIS SPECIAL WORKSHOP?
Learning from someone who just performed their own creative piece is an excellent way to get to know how they started from a blank canvas to a complete outstanding routine. This is the perfect timing to ask about their process and learn how to build a choreography, espacially if you're thinking about competing or performing in the future.
In both of these workshops, you'll get to learn a few combos from the original winning routine. That means that the coach know exactly the right cues for audience engagement and breathtaking calculated poses. This is the kind of expertise that you need in your toolbox when performing. You might do the best tricks there is, if your audience isn't captivated you lost half of the impact your piece could have had.
