BV Open Studios is a fantastic event held over a weekend, inviting members of the public to explore the maze-like warren of creative studios in our building and meet the many artists and creative types working here - it's not just about 360 Pole Dancing, it's the whole building! 360 Pole Dancing will be part of this again!
For NEW/CURIOUS STUDENTS: Come and see what happens in the glittercave, find out about our classes, meet some of our pole family, have a FREE spin on the poles, and the opportunity to book some classes - Beginners' Courses will be starting soon afterwards.
For CURRENT STUDENTS: We need VOLUNTEERS to come and play pole for FREE all weekend! Come for as much of the time as you want/can. You may end up talking to the general public about what we do, or showing off your skills! I just need as many as possible of you to come and have fun in the studio! This is an opportunity for you to bring your friends and show them what you've been up to! Also, anyone curious about pole dancing can come and have a look at what's involved!
While you're here, you can explore the other artist spaces in the building, and see what goes on behind all those other doors. There's also a pop-up coffeeshop and cafe in the entrance hall. On the Friday night, there will be a BAR and a party in the entrance hall. The bar will close before 12, but after that we are planning to party in the studio until late! (Please #polesafe - don't drink and pole!) Friday: 6-9pm (party afterwards) Saturday: 4-6pm (main building open 11am-6pm) Sunday: 11am-6pm IT'S FREE! No need to book, just show up!
Really thoughtful piece — you can tell it comes from real experience, not just theory. The examples made the abstract parts concrete, and that's where it really came together. I keep a running list of related material at uncxnetwork.com if that happens to be helpful.
Thanks for laying this out so clearly; it actually made a few things click for me. It's a good reminder that small, steady improvements usually beat any dramatic overhaul. Some extra examples and notes live over at BlazeSwap if you'd like to keep exploring.
I keep coming back to posts like this because they're genuinely useful rather than filler. The structure made it simple to skim back and find the parts I wanted to revisit later. For a slightly different angle on the same idea, there's a bit more waiting at alt-layer.com.
