January 2024 content release article
The New Year has arrived! At this symbolic time of fresh starts we’ll be bringing you a new-look Team Spin City, with curated content around a monthly theme. Along with our classic combo content we’ll be bringing you technique tips, micro tutorials from our guest contributors and advice on how to implement each month’s content into your planning.
Kicking off the new format, our theme is ‘feeling brand new’; we’ll look at planning tips for the New Year, wherever your clients are at in their pole or aerial journey. Our combo content will draw from the Spin City core syllabus – showcasing moves that are all included in the Spin City Instructor Training Programme.
