ROZ "THE DIVA" MAYS
Build your Confidence
Take a break from herculean tricks and work on building your self-esteem. Ditch your insecurities and learn how to feel a little more comfortable on any stage. We’ll experiment with tempo, eye contact partner work, and a few other extroverted things. Students will have the option of closing the class with a solo freestyle to their favorite song!
Inverts 101
Hauling your ass into the air is one of the most difficult and sought-after skills to master.

We'll start with a core-centric warm-up, practice positioning for the floor, then fly those asses to the clouds.
