We had the great pleasure of hosting the Magnifique Marion Crampe at Studio Verve on Thursday 3 March for a night of workshops.

In the LaCrampe Signature Tricks workshop Marion took our advanced students through some truly amazing skills (including the Rainbow Marchenko) as well as unique and challenging transitions on the pole.

Twist Your Body really pushed our students to the limit of what they thought possible in terms of their own flexibility. Marion was quite impressed with our students who have since been implementing her drills and exercises to great effect.

Pull ups are a relatively easy exercise that develops your biceps, back, and shoulder muscles. In addition to being a great upper body workout they also improve your grip strength as you are supporting your body weight using just your hands and forearms. This exercise is perfect to add in to your home workout routine and you’ll be able to see the results of your efforts quickly both in class and out!
