“BodySculpt” Atlanta Pole Trick Workshop (Intermediate)

Exposing Atlanta to the raw vibe of pole tricks, something creative and more dimensional November 10th, 2024.

On Sunday November 10th, 2024 at 2:45PM Ashley will be in person offering Performance Tempel’s tenant workshop ‘BodySculpt’, hosted in the metro Atlanta city of Sandy Springs, GA. BodySculpt is polework techniques and skill building education that “freaks” tricks from the often stiff forms to soul felt moving sculptures.

The focus of this iteration of BodySculpt will be the classic straddle trick “Jamilla”. The trick is named after Jamilla Deville, a national pole champion and former stripper and showgirl, who is known for the grace of her transitions and the strength of her leg lines. Ashley will bring the funk to how the trick “Jamilla” can be executed with saucy accentuations in the straddle, jazzy transitions into and out of it that uses more of the vertical space of the pole, plus other dynamics that reimagine how to make the beat of a song visible. This approach results in the workshop’s tagline that describes what’s being sculpted—level changes & sexualization.

The workshop is geared toward intermediate or proficient pole dancers/polers. It enhances the basic mechanics and raises bar for the trick from a pose in a combo to a felt sense impression. The education will underscore interpretation, listening, bodily recognition and situational problem solving. Ashley brings to life the “darkroom” of pole skill development, born of her claims of being “unstudio’d”, her formats do not always follow or mimic the typical or orthodox practices. Instead, she opts for a darkroom approach, like the places one must go to develop photography film. A place that allows folks to step into a space where time suspends and locks them into their craft as distinct and ritualistic with that personal steelo.

On the frays of completing her virtual offering “Thrilla In Jamilla” (now available as an on-demand recording set) via the digital space of Zoom, Ashley is jazzed up to bring her teachings to a physical location. Having some familiarity with teaching in Atlanta because of her collaboration in Haute Velour’s The Erotic Experience Immersion in April 2024, she is looking forward to exposing ATL to a new vibe. Part of her anticipation is the opportunity to connect with eager learners who are all-in concerning the ability to incorporate tricks and dance. She also represents and would love to hold space for folks who may not always feel aligned with the expectations of a commercialized pole fitness category and want something rawer like Erotic Funk.

Erotic Funk, montaged from the title of one of Ashley’s holy grail books Funk The Erotic is an integral part of her methodology. Learners that stick with Ashley, online or in-person, come to experience pole as a tool for much more than what people stereotype it as or commercialize it for.
