Course Introduction
Rafaela’s 1st place performance at the Olympia (2019)
Rafaela Montanaro needs no introduction. As the five-time pole sport World Champion and Olympia winner, Rafaela has established herself as the undisputed master of pole athletics.
“Level Up” is a solid intermediate course with detailed instructions for core moves that are key to unlocking more advanced tricks. If you ever feel plateaued, this course will give you the secret sauce needed to progress to the next level.
In addition to pole moves, Rafaela will also teach you an extensive set of conditioning exercises to develop your strength, flexibility, coordination, alignment and technique. This double emphasis on both moves and conditioning will help you bridge the gap from intermediate to advanced.
This 6-week course will be released December 19, in a private PolePress platform for you to communicate with Rafaela and your classmates

What is it ?
Just like an online college course. There’s a syllabus, video lectures, text information, assignments, etc. The main difference is the videos are pre-recorded and everything is already set up for you. So you can start whenever you’re ready, and work through the lessons at your own pace. And it’s lifetime access, so you can re-do the lessons as many times as you like.
