Thank you for the loveliest first pole camp experience I could have asked for! I feel like I got so much more than I expected, and my horizons have been greatly broadened. I was also challenged in ways I didn’t expect, which is always one of the best outcomes of an experience like this.

 

I learned and noticed things that I do well but hadn’t fully appreciated or leaned into as much as I perhaps should. Thank you to the whole team — each of you brings something truly unique, skilled and wholesome, and together you are a wonderful representation of the studio.

 

It was amazing to meet all the other participants and be inspired by your different personalities, experiences and ways of moving. I’m looking forward to following your journeys and staying connected.

 

I especially appreciated the educational and structured side of the camp. The lectures, Emotional Expression and Laboratory were some of the things that made the experience feel truly different from other pole camps. There were so many layers of knowledge, experience and sensation that I know will stay with me and continue to come back to me for a long time.

 

I would have loved a little more time for tricks and more Laboratory, but honestly, I wouldn’t know what to take out because everything was valuable in its own way!

 

I’m so grateful to have been part of this first experience. Wish you all the best, and I hope to see you again!

I really enjoyed the camp and the time spent here. I loved all of the workshops and the variety of styles we explored.

 

At first, I felt like there were almost too many workshops for four days. But every day I found myself thinking, “Which one would I skip?” — and then realising that every class was interesting and that I understood why it was part of the programme. So overall, I think the concept and structure of the camp worked really well.

 

I would have loved to have more Laboratory, as I really enjoy the creative part. I also think it would be interesting to have the Emotional Expression class before a Laboratory session, so that we could bring what we explored into the creation process and put the knowledge into practice.

 

I really enjoyed the workshops themselves. I felt that all of you were very experienced and knowledgeable in what you were teaching, and I appreciated the variety of styles and approaches.

 

And I absolutely loved the choreography — I’m always here for choreography!

 

Thank you all for this experience and looking forward for next editions!

I really loved this camp and the opportunity to connect with all the participants. I truly felt that we were part of a community, and meeting people from all over the world who are as passionate about pole dance as I am was a wonderful experience.

 

Having already been to your studio before, I knew that the atmosphere was cozy, warm and welcoming, and the camp was no different. The participants were also very friendly and open, which made it easy for me to interact and connect with everyone.

 

I really liked that the camp was not only practical but also educational. I want to continue developing as a teacher, and this camp gave me an opportunity to grow both as a teacher and as a pole dancer.

 

I enjoyed both the workshops and the lectures. Even when some of the information was already familiar to me, you never stop learning! Some tips were completely new to me, while other topics refreshed my knowledge and made me look at things from a different perspective. It was very helpful.

 

I think the camp was very well organised, and I loved the variety of classes. I enjoyed all of them, even the ones I struggled with. I would love to see more tricks classes, as I really enjoy the way Alyna teaches. I would love to expand my knowledge and learn new tricks that I can later teach to my students. I also really enjoy being a student myself, especially when the teacher shares a similar approach to technique.

 

I hope you will keep the Laboratory and Emotional Expression classes in the next edition. I think these are the workshops that truly make Beyond Pole Camp and your studio stand out from others.

 

I feel very grateful to have been part of this first experience, and I’m already looking forward to seeing you and training with you again in the future!

The camp gave me a lot to take in, and even after it ended, I’m still processing everything I experienced.

 

I really enjoyed everything about the camp. It was fun, interesting and felt different from what I’m used to. For me, it was especially nice to be on the other side for a change — to come back to being a student rather than just teaching. I really enjoyed all the workshops and the opportunity to learn, explore and simply enjoy the process.

 

I had already heard, known and experienced many of the things we explored during the camp through your classes, but I also learned a lot of new things. It was especially interesting for me to notice how I reacted to Improvisation and Emotional Expression, as these have never been the easiest things for me. This time, however, the Emotional Expression class felt much freer and easier than before, and I felt that I was able to trust myself more.

 

The whole experience was very enjoyable and gave me an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. The third day was definitely challenging, but I’m very glad I went through it.

 

It was really good to step out of my usual role, spend time learning and simply be a student again.

I’ve been to some pole camps before, but never one with this structure. Usually, camps are very workshop-based and super intensive, so I really enjoyed the experience of training both my body and my mind.

 

Some of the information and pointers were already familiar to me, but they refreshed my mind and gave me new inspiration and ideas. I especially enjoyed the sessions I thought I might struggle with — partnering was very inspiring, and contemporary was completely new to me, which I loved.

 

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I was a bit nervous beforehand because I sometimes struggle emotionally in public settings, but once I was there, I felt natural and included. It was easy to speak and interact with everyone. I also really appreciated that the group was relatively small and private.

 

I think the camp was very well put together. The variety of classes and topics was rich, and the sessions were informative. I loved being able to be a student myself again, take time for myself and push myself to explore.
