Ana from Spain
Ana’s passion for movement began at an early age, leading her to dedicate her life to dance. She received professional training in Contemporary Dance in England, and in 2021, she moved to Berlin, where she discovered Pole Dance—a discipline she has embraced ever since. Her practice is guided by exploration and intention, beyond any single style or technique.
You can find Ana teaching Beginner Pole, Heels Flow, and Contemporary Flow Pole classes.
In her Beginner Pole dance classes, students learn foundational pole elements both on and off the pole. The focus is on spins, turns, and essential movement concepts, along with an introduction to tricks such as seats, holds, climbs, and building strength overtime. She provides regressions and progression for each individual level and needs.
In Heels Pole classes, Ana guides students through fluid, sensual choreographies. These sessions explore a variety of movement techniques while incorporating elements of performance, softness, musicality and personal expression.
Her Contemporary Flow Pole classes focus in seamless flow sequences and connection with the pole. Expect to explore transitions, spirals, floorwork, and freestyle—focusing on how movement feels, not just how it looks.
Nani from Germany
With a background in contemporary dance and contortion, Nani has been moving and flowing for nearly 20 years! She fell in love with heels pole in 2018 and has been refining the art of slow, controlled movement ever since.
In their *Slow Flow Heels* class, you'll focus on continuous, fluid motion—melding technique with musicality to embody sensuality at your own pace. Her *Heels Technique* class dives deep into refining articulation, precision, and the signature movements of this style.
Beyond Berlin, you might also catch Nani teaching at our Portugal residency! No matter the location, her goal is to create a safe space for every student to explore, express, and connect.
