FROM CUEING TO CREATING
A 3.5-hour training to transform your classroom into a space where students create, not just copy
with Tracee Kafer
–––––
Saturday, November 22nd
3:30 - 7:00 PM
Hosted at Full Circle Harlem
2610 Frederick Douglass Blvd.
New York, NY 10030
Give your students more than MOVES — give them THE space to discover their own voice in THE movement.
What You’ll Gain
✅ A toolkit of re-usable freestyle and freestyle-adjacent practices
✅ More confidence to bring more movement exploration into your teaching or personal practice
✅ New facilitation skills: positioning, structuring, adapting
✅ Inspiration to balance technique with expression
✅ Connection to a community of teachers and movers who value creativity
Who It’s For
✅ Pole Teachers who crave ways to bring more creativity and student-agency into their classes
✅ Aspiring Teachers who are preparing to guide in the future
✅ Invested Students who want to deepen their own creative movement practice
What It Offers
Pole classes often emphasize skills, sequences, and encourage students to remain focused on following their instructor. These structures are important, but they can leave little room for students to listen to themselves.
In this 3.5-hour training, you’ll explore accessible, time-tested freestyle practices drawn from over 13 years of Finding Your Freestyle® (FYF) that you can use to bring a new dimension to your teaching. You’ll both experience them as movers and practice guiding them — so you walk away with frameworks you can use immediately, whether in class or in your own practice.
What’s Missing In Pole Class?
Integrating What’s Missing In Pole Class
Reserve your spot today and step into a new dimension of teaching.This Is:
✅ 3.5 hours of guided practice, learning, and facilitation
✅ Interactive: you’ll move, observe, teach, and reflect
✅ A supportive environment where experimentation is encouraged
This Isn’t:
❌ Just throwing out random prompts (or saving 5 minutes at the end of a class) and hoping students move
❌ A one-way lecture without space for your own exploration and ideas
❌ A technique- or trick-focused masterclass (although that’s probably obvious by now)
Hey there, Resistance!
〰️
Hey there, Resistance! 〰️
Resistance to freestyle is normal and expected — in fact, it’s part of the practice. It can show up as laughter, blankness, over-thinking, or even avoidance. As teachers and facilitators, our role is not to erase resistance but to create containers where it can soften, be witnessed, and maybe transform into curiosity.
There is a reality of resistance in our work — hesitation, self-consciousness, or discomfort can (and likely will) arise when students are invited to explore. You’ll learn how to recognize it, normalize it, and offer pathways through it, so resistance becomes part of the process rather than a barrier.

“Dosed with her very specific brand of power and gentleness, always nudging me toward the most intuitive and extra-sensory aspects of myself.”
— Brandi, FL Studio Owner
“Tracee Kafer was not only incredibly kind and fun, but a great instructor. I’ve taken quite a few workshops … but this workshop was different. I didn’t walk away with just some tricks — I walked away with a feeling, an understanding. For the first time, I truly danced. I needed this.”
— Jess, Chicago Student

Tracee Kafer
Since 2012, Tracee Kafer (creator of Finding Your Freestyle®) has been nurturing freer expression, movement exploration, and embodied artistry in the pole community and beyond.
FYF began as a weekly movement-class at Body & Pole in NYC with the aim of creating space for freestyle not defined by tricks or competition but by creativity, curiosity, and collaboration.
FYF has grown into a full community of practice: offering workshops, intensives, retreats, online sessions, challenges, and resources — all in service of cultivating true movement artistry, echoed in both personal exploration and authentic expression.
In this workshop, you benefit from years of experimenting, peer learning, and seeing what helps people feel more free, expressive, and confident in their voice.
