Jordan Kensley Workshops
Jordan Kensley is a US-based pole dance instructor, judge and performer. Without any prior experience, she discovered movement as an adult and fell in love with pole dance after watching a Youtube video in the summer of 2012. After moving to Los Angeles, she entrenched herself within the aerial dancing community, and was soon in any class she could find time for during the day, and dancing at clubs & gigs at night. From that first spark of interest, her passion for movement & the human form’s capabilities has grown ever since.
All workshops are $60.00 per person, per 90-minute workshop.
Located at Pole Fitness Studio, 2353 Corporation Pkwy, Burlington NC
BACK TO THE FUTURE:
Pole Tricks Past & Present
Sexy Style has taken the Pole Community by storm in recent years; where contemporary reigned, we now see the Majesties of Sexy coming to the forefront. Suddenly, Sexy Style covers a lot of territory within the Pole Community, and history is merging with the present. This workshop explores tricks and combinations that were created, popularized, or most often associated with club dancers #SW. Come to this workshop to explore & learn old
combinations, new variations, and a splash of pole trick history! A bit of a 'wild card' kind of class, the course material is always changing; you may learn an old school combo, a tricky low flow transition, or maybe a trick you want to learn... You'll definitely get a few tricks up your sleeve in this class.
All Levels To High Beginner: Basic Understanding of pole & floor tricks and transitions (full execution not required, short balance preferred): basic spins, pirouettes (any), body waves, shoulder rolls
(forward/ backward), and shoulder stands.
CLOTHING: Kneepads required. Socks & Shirt & Pants/Shorts (body coverage for sliding & gripping) suggested. Heels Optional
DEADLY SINS CHOREOGRAPHY:
Envy: BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE – contemporary work
This class will poll the class on which sin they would like to embody... each one cueing a different style, prompt, and style expression. This choreography workshop is all about
MOVEMENT EXPRESSION, & focuses on learning some of Jordan Kensley's personal movement expression; musically stylistic, quick transitions, melting moments and just a splash of sass (as desired). The choreography for this class will vary depending on the chosen sin, and its associated prompts. Take what you learn and add your own personality to really spice things up and expand your own Movement Expression!
All Levels To High Beginner: Basic Understanding of pole & floor tricks and transitions (full execution not required, short balance preferred): basic spins, pirouettes (any), body waves, shoulder rolls

FATAl ATTRACTION:
Performance Theories & Techniques
Dancing for an audience can be intimidating, whether for a studio showcase, a competition or an event. In this workshop we will dance, discuss and discover different ways to access our confidence through our basic instincts. This class will be
filled with games, prompts, and discussions to find new ways to connect to your body in movement and the music, harnessing your body’s preferred language. Together, we will create a safe space for each dancer, to explore their confidence and find new aspects of themselves in movement; while vulnerability can be
sensual, it’s up to each of us to assess how we feel best as a performer. This workshop aims to accomplish this by sharing theories on musicality, intention, character-story development, character-music connection, and more!
MOVEMENTS: an open mind and a general awareness of your body in space. This is doable but may be intimidating for absolute beginners. Some movement experience preferred (any level or style is acceptable)
CLOTHING: Kneepads required. Shoulder/back/butt coverage suggested over polewear. Heels Optional
