Floorwork near you
Floorwork is the grounded, dance-y side of pole and aerial: low flow, rolls, transitions and expressive movement performed on the floor rather than up the pole. It is the connective tissue of a routine — the sinuous, controlled movement that links tricks together — and it is a strength and mobility workout in its own right, with no height or heavy grip required. It suits people who want to dance and flow, build control close to the ground, and add polish and artistry to their pole. Expect it to be humbling in a new way, since slow control is genuinely hard, expect some tenderness on knees and hips at first (many bring pads), and expect it to make everything else you do look more graceful.
