How to start traveling and teaching with workshops?
Jun 13, 2023One of the most common questions I’ve been asked throughout my years of pole dancing.
I will try to reply sharing my experience with you. And what worked for me. I hope it will work for you too.
Start with these:
- Figure out what you can give, offer to community. For example there should be something you love. Pole shapes or flexibility, maybe strength training. Or maybe you spent a lot of time learning something and now you can share your experience and help people to get thru it faster and with less pain or with no pain at all. Figure out what it is and start sharing your knowledge online - on your IG pages, Facebook, tiktok, YouTube.
- Make a workshop or couple of workshops or classes about it.
- Start offering it online or to the studios in your country. This way you will get experience traveling, teaching and helping people. When i started pole dancing and I figured out what I love to share I started to contact studios and offering them my workshops. For example my friend had a wedding in Novosibirsk, so I googled some studios and wrote them and asked if they want to host a class with me. That’s how I taught my very very first workshop outside Moscow.
- When you feel more confident with your classes and what you can give - Start Offering Classes and Workshops to studios outside your country. Create an email and offer package for studios so it is easy for them to see what you are teaching and your conditions.
- At the same time while doing all of these remember to be active on your socials and OFFLINE. Very important to go and join competitions, shows to meet new people. Take as many workshops as possible, talk with people, invest in you and in your relationships.
I think that’s it for now. But I definitely have more stories so stay tuned. Will be sharing more soon.
If you have more questions about it - let me know =)
