Instructors & their workshops
Bethany Finlay
Bethany made a furious entry to the pole world, when she posted litte videos in Facebook in her early years. As a former gymnast,
she went early for the impossible. At this time she may hay have not been a complete pole dancer yet, but it showed the direction.
Years passed and now there were complete choreographies, wuth which she won various competitions in Australia on national level.
So know she wan't just a former gymnast trying out pole dance, but she became really a dancer. She still has the impossible in her pocket,
but now much more. Meanwhile she has her own pole studio in Ballarat, which is in Victoria. When leaving Melbourne reachig for the wild, you pass there.
We watched he from the beginning. And when we wanted to book someone special for our pole camp in 2017, we coudn't help thinking of her.
The main problem was, that we didn't know her personally, which is different than with most other instructors we booked for our pole camps.
When we asked fellow Australian pole dancers, he was recommended, so we booked her. Now we do know her and she did impress us that much that we ask her
back for the 2020 edition of the pole camp. We were lucky as all instructors who taught at the Mystique pole camp were really good. So it's
hard to call out single instructors as the special ones. But beyond the teaching there are always instructors who kind of carry the pole camp
and Bethany was such a person as she was not just skilled, but also a fun person to be with. Now she's returning and I can't tell you how much I'm
looking forward to this. You are invited to share this experience with me.

Daniel Rosen
Daniel Rosen or now just Dan Rosen has been part of the UK pole dance scene almost from the beginning. He has a studio in the suburbs of London,
but as he's travalling all the weekends he's all oer the place, especially in the UK. There was a time when he did compete a lot and this quite
successfullly on national level, but also internationally. All this made him a very experienced instructor. It's not only pole skills that
make his teaching interesting, it's especially the fun atmosphere he can generate even for potentially boring topics.
For being a good instructor you need to be a good observer. Being a good observed Dan also proved as the "Mother of Susans". Watch his Susan
posts on his FB page Polelols.

Vika
Vika is the short form for Viktoria Khaletskaya. But she's widely known just as Vika. Vika teaches Exotic Pole at My Pole Space in St. Petersburg.
But she's more than just another exotic pole dancer from St. Petersburg. Like the other well-known name from that city she has a very unique style.
Watching her videos and seeing her teaching experience of 6 years, made us decide: we need her for our 2020 edition of our Mystique Pole Camp Thailand.
She will cover the exotic side of the pole camp.

| Slow Flow [A] [C] |
Dancing slow doesn’t mean boring - you have way more time for all sorts of isolated movements and controlled body language. Take your
pole dancing skills to the next level and find innovative ways to transition from one move into the next. |
| Feel the Music [A] [B] |
Music is a way to express yourself and your emotions. Really connecting with a song makes your choreography something special and
makes your audience remember you. |

Màrion Crampe
Màrion Crampe is one of the pole stars that doesn't need an introduction. It feels as if she had been around always. Of course she is very bendy.
But to just put her in a drawer with all the bendy pole dancers would be a mistake. Beyond this, she's an excellent dancer, an understanding and
experienced instructor and last but not least a fun person to be with.
She was one of the instructors at our first edition of the pole camp in 2016 and she was rocking it. So looking back in our history she's the one
besides of Bethany of the 2017 edition, who shouldn't be skipped. And it's never more of the same, when it comes to Marion. She is always bringing
up new things. So it's always worth to visit he workshops.

In the last week of July 2020, the fourth pole camp of Mystique Pole Dance takes place. As an internationally recognized studio in Switzerland, we have good contacts to the pole industry. Like this we got some of the best pole teachers around. 2016 was a big success and had a great atmosphere, besides great teaching all the organization was smooth and participants liked the surroundings. In 2017 we raised the bar. The pole camp got bigger, welcoming 60 participants from 16 different countries. Half of them from Asia and the other half from Europe/US
We stayed at Grand Palazzo in 2017, and it was well received. In 2017 this 5-star hotel was brand new, as it opened doors end of 2016. It's all modern and rooms are very big. Meanwhile the hotel is proven and used the experience of its opening days to complete to cope with any kind of little flaws.
