Pivot & Carve: edge-work essentials âď¸
Saturdays + 1 Sunday in May, 11:00am PST/2:00pm EST
(4 week series)
May 9th: anatomy of the heel: inside, outside edge and stiletto
May 16th: weight shifts + hip rotations = glides
May 23rd: waves as transitions
May 24th: edge-work pirouettes
This series builds on the foundations of edge work through awareness, control, and articulation. Using both bare feet and heels, students will explore how to merge the mind-body connection through drills that engage and dissect the rotation, activation, and micro-muscles of the foot. Weâll move through three key concepts and elements to understand how the floor becomes both resistance and release, learning to carve pathways and pivot through transitions.
Hi Vista! Iâll be teaching one workshop next weekend :) This workshop will be held in person in Vista, CA.
This lab approaches static pole as a shifting relationship between body and metal. We will explore continuous change through rotation, weight, and momentum. Deep focus on how the body enters, sustains, and exits movement while being carried by the apparatus working with the waves as transitions. Attention will be placed on subtle initiations, soft transitions, and the space between positions. Open to all levels.
Itâs quite niche but there is an art in getting your feet to do what you want them to do while wearing 8-inch heels.
Iâll be teaching a 4 week online series called Pivot & Carve: Edge-Work Essentials this month, itâs for all levels and a patient breakdown of edge-work heels. Link is where links live.
You can do the whole online series or drop in and every sign up receives a recording, live attendance is optional.

An artist and mover embedded in exploration,
Toni moves across forms
from heels to bare feet,
from aerial to grounded practice.
Guided by play and sensation,
Toni has also been part of the creation of PDM Pole Camp,
contributing as a consultant and collaborator
in shaping its approach and structure.
Weâre honored to enter this chapter together.
Curious what an FTS online workshop feels like?â¨
Toni joins students in a home pole setup, ensuring every movement can be executed, modified, or progressed within this space.â¨
In this taster, we focus on one essential element that makes full-body movement possible (and something Toni is always on about): the head and neck. Involving the head and neck allows for deeper release of tension, clearer waves, and full embodiment while holding students accountable to connecting the brain and body + feeling sensation rather than mirror-watching or aesthetics.â¨
