2Y BIRTHDAY PARTYYY
To celebrate our 2-year anniversary, we are organizing a Pole Jam Party – a vibrant gathering of Belgium’s pole dance community. Whether you focus on pole sports or stripper style pole dancing; it’s a chance to connect, celebrate our shared passion, exchange inspiration, and of course, dance together in a joyful, open and non-competitive environment.
There will be three stage poles - two chrome and one silicone - in three different vibes: one exposed to the city centre of Brussels, one in the middle of the dancefloor and one in a dark moody corner of Reset Atelier. From 19h till 1h, we will be dancing on the sets of three incredible dj’s!
Saturday 30/08, 20h till 1h.
Sliding Scale entrance.
2Y MONDAY - SENxxxUALITY DAY
WORKSHOP - 10h > 13h
X-Erotique w/ Olga Kalaschnikova
This workshop is focused on expressing sensuality and connecting or reconnecting with your body through a sensory approach to stripping. X-Erotique is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and let your erotic energy rise—without pressure, performance, or pretense.
In this workshop, we explore breath work, mindfulness techniques, sensual breath movements, erotic energy activation and sensory strip. The aim is to learn how to tap into your erotic energy, whether to find it or reconnect with it in a non-performative way and to learn self-eroticizing techniques. We’ll close with an optional, easygoing lap dance session—whether you choose to share your energy with others or keep it close to yourself, it’s all about embracing your unique sensual rhythm.
This workshop is accessible to all bodies and backgrounds. No pole or heels required—just bring loose, comfy, easy-to-peel-off layers and an open mind.
About the workshop host:
Olga is a trained, caring, and attentive teacher with a deep passion for sensual movement disciplines like pole, strip, and chair dance. With a focus on body awareness and self-expression, she supports each student in exploring their sensuality through movement—always with respect for personal boundaries and at a pace that feels right for them. Her classes are welcoming, inclusive, and relaxed, creating a safe space where everyone can grow with confidence and authenticity.
A seasoned performer and stripper, Olga is also the creator of Sip It, the immersive pop-up strip club experience in Brussels. She brings her love for the stage and her talent for building community into everything she does. In her workshops, she shares not only her techniques but her vision—offering inspiration, connection, and a spark to fuel your own journey.

WORKSHOP - 14h > 17h
Strip X Draw w/ Thilde
This life model workshop with a sensual and fun twist is for all creative minds! No need to be an illustrative master. We will focus on pleasure and progress in drawing, rather than execution and perfection. The concept is simple; we will start with some drawing exercises to warm up. After that, we have our model Ble posing for us and create beautiful shapes.
Thilde is a multi-disciplinary artist. They are an illustrator as well as a poledancer and -performer, teacher in both practices. These practices live in a connected vendiagram, both co-existing and intertwined from time to time.
They are fascinated by fluidity and contrasts, constantly exploring how bodies can move in fluid motion, how to seduce, repel, attract attention or tell a story. The femme body is a constant recurring exploration in their work, intrigued by the beauty of fullness and the folds in bodies.
No drawing experience needed. Thilde will guide you through it and give tips and prompts to focus on when drawing.
Bring some drawing materials; basic paper, pencil and markers are already a good start. We will provide some basic drawing materials, but encourage you to bring some of your own!
There will be a possibility of (semi)-nudity shown.
Come a bit earlier to share a lunch between 13h till 14h, together with the participants of the first workshop. Included in the price. Because eating together is real love!
2Y TUESDAY - POC Play & Slay Day
A juicy day made by and for all poc (pole) dancers to step into their fantasy, reclaim their image, and feel damn good while doing it. Together, we’ll break out of the white and western gaze with two fire workshops led by @poletician (from @ryskystudio, London), diving into our alter baddies, diy glam, and shameless stripper vibes. Come as you are and leave as whoever you want to be.
For who are these workshops? For every poc (pole) dancer who’s ready to tap into their inner self and build a look that screams main character energy. No experience needed, just big baddie dreams and a love for a little drama.
WORKSHOP 14H > 18H
Build your Baddie w/ Poletician
Time to let your inner baddie out to play. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore what makes your style yours, and start shaping a look that matches your alter baddie. We’ll play around with visual identities and jump into a fun diy moment where we build straps, chains, or whatever your fantasy calls for. This is your playground to experiment, express and be seen exactly how you want.
Poletician (aka YangYang) is a London based pole dancer, digital creator, and full-time adorable baddie. Think smiley but deadly, with mad skills, kawaii flair, and just the right touch of chaos. Her world is all queen shit: anime poses, cigarette squats, abg energy and Asian baddie hairstyles. Add in custom made looks from her cute bikini line @stillrysky and a growing archive of diy skrip accessories, from bedazzled heels and bagkini's to adorable chain and shiny straps, and you get a hot mess and a full blown aesthetic experience.
What to bring? Bring any clothing, accessories, or makeup you’d love to play or create with, and if you have them, feel free to throw in some thread&needles, straps, beads, charms, or anything shiny and extra. No stress if you don’t, we’ve got supplies ready for you! If you have them, bring along a needle & plier. You can also throw in straps, beads, charms, thread, or anything shiny and extra. No stress if you don’t, we’ve got supplies ready for you!

WORKSHOP 19H > 21H
Floor Fatale w/ Poletician
This floorwork session in heels (or without!) is all about strip-club flow, serving slutty transitions, and moving with delicious intention. It’s open level, meaning you don’t need any experience, just a desire to feel yourself, literally. Whether you're spicy, shy, wild, or somewhere in between, this space is here for it. No performance for the gaze, just pleasure for yourself.
YangYang (@poletician) discovered pole at uni and went straight from the lecture halls to the skrip club and she’s been hooked ever since. With a rich background in performance, skripping and dancing in music videos, she effortlessly blends slow burn sensuality with raw, playful floorwork. Teaching across the UK, YangYang always tailors her classes to fit every student’s unique ability, creating a fun, supportive, and relaxed space where everyone can show up as their truest selves.
What to bring? Heels if you love 'em, socks or bare feet if that’s more your vibe. Knee pads, if you have them. No stress if you don’t, we’ve got heels and kneepads ready for you! Wear something you feel hot or comfy in, or both.
For who? For all poc (pole) dancers who wanna get low whether you're a floorwork newbie or a heel slaying pro.

2Y WEDNESDAY - Anti-Glam Day!
ANTI-GLAM!
ON POLE, SWWORK, ACTIVISM & ALLYSHIP
What’s beyond, and behind the “exotic” heels and sekzi moves? Is being a slvt the same thing as being a wh-ore? Time to get off the poles and take off our Pleasers for a day of learning about rights, history, resistance and resilience!
This is a day to begin understanding the complex and changing landscape of SW realities and challenges, from advocacy work, to legal frameworks, to anti-SW policies and digital erasure and censorship, to testimonies from industry workers. Away from oversimplifications and binaries of empowerment/violence, we’ll dive into what is what, and what to do to be an ethical pole practitioner and SWer ally.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Consent, safety and care are central to this day. This is not a place to debate whether SW is “good” or “bad”, or whether it should be “allowed”. No disclosure of status (immigration, SWer) or legal name is necessary. We ask all attendees to be mindful of interactions that lead to disclosure, and to refrain from asking others questions that could cause or coerce outing of any kind.
Participants must commit to not divulging personal or sensitive information about other individuals outside of the context of the day/workshops. And that any personal information shared by anyone in the context of the day is not to be used for research purposes.
No photos or videos are allowed unless permission is explicitly given. We support decriminalization and destigmatisation of SW, yet we understand that reality is far from that. We ask all attendees to be responsible and proactive in protecting others’ safety by following the rules and instructions given for the day, and during each activity.
Pay What You Can all day - All donations go to Utsopi!
TALK 14H30 > 16H
Understanding SW intersectionnally
In this talk with UTSOPI, the only SWer union in Belgium, we are diving into the broad spectrum of SW. What types of SW exist, especially here in Belgium? What reasons motivate SWorkers to exercise their jobs? How do financial privileges or their lack, migration, LGBTQIA+ rights, racism and ableism impact one’s experiences? How do SWorkers organize, and how can we be their best supporter and ally?
UTSOPI is the 10 years-old first and only Belgian Union of SWorkers. “We are governed by SWorkers and run together with allies. We strive for agency, autonomy and rights. More rights mean more choices. We strive for independence: the independence of our choices, our bodies, our lives.”
Bissi aka Butchibou is a yogi, dancer, poet, teacher, and sex(y) activist. They contribute to holding spaces by and for marginalized communities, highlight trans, non-binary, and racialized artists.
For who? Everyone! But especially: SWorkers and their allies, the pole dancers and teachers and studio owners, erotix performers, event organizers, lover and friends of SWorkers, SW clients, those that fantasize or question SW…. CHECK CODE OF CONDUCT (above)!
TALK + PANEL 16H30 > 18H
Political Splits and Ethical Heels Talk + The Club Reality Check Panel
Are you annoyed that when people see a pole they think of skrippers, rather than athletes or artists, when you’ve put so much effort in learning your tricks? Do you love being a bad bitch exotic slvt in heels class, and think you’d probably make a great skripper, because how different could it be, really? This talk+panel is for you!
Half talk, half panel, we will dive into pole dance’s history and where it stands today in regards to SW and skripping. The goal is to gain insight into the relationship and dynamics between the two communities, as well as the shifting cultural, legal, technological and political landscape affecting them, with an emphasis in the Western European context. We will tackle the urgency of political awareness and ethical allyship for people within pole dance, and why it is in everyone’s best interest.
Paying your respect to those who created pole and paved the way, valuing their voices and expertise, understanding the harm that can be caused even with the best intentions, making the studio a safeR space, and being an excellent SWer ally? Yes, please!
TALK BY MAJO: POLITICAL SPLITS AND ETHICAL HEELS
Romantisation, wh-rebaiting, wh-rearchy and pole dance mainstreamisation
You might have heard about mallakhamb, or Chinese pole as the “ancient origins of pole dance”. While some contemporary forms of pole dance today take technical inspiration from these traditions (and we will dive into why), it’s important to situate the origin of the chrome pole as an object, and of pole dance as a recreational discipline, in skripclubs and skrippers.
Today, the pole dance industry, including in its “exotic” variation, has grown to include competitions, events, fitness and sensual empowerment classes. Yet, the relationship between pole dance and stripping has become a sometimes fraught one. But why? We’ll analyze common tension points, and explore ways to make your pole practice more ethical, becoming a better ally to those that created what you love so much.
THE CLUB REALITY CHECK PANEL
Hear it from the pros! The Club Reality Check panel will help you understand some of the concrete differences between clubs and studios, the workframes and models within the industry, the motivations, the stories, and the risks behind it.
Your host: Majo is a performer, writer, educator, DIY sociologist and notorious buzzkill. Special interests include human and labour rights for all, and ending the moral panic surrounding SW, and serving as a pipeline for social disenfranchisement, violence, and liberticide and surveillance policies.
For who is it? Everyone! But especially: the pole dancers, hobbyists and teachers, sx-positive practitioners and aficionados, er-tic and burlesque performers, SW-curious people, those that dream of or question the skripclub, those that love the skripper and “exotic” aesthetics, proud slvts, event organizers, pole dance studio owners….
SCREENING 19H > 20H
STRIPPER MANIFESTO BY Emma Neame
Join us to watch this thrilling, raw and beautiful video-documentary by Emma Neame.
It’s a 17 minute work in progress visual portrait of 4 dancers and performers of the skripper world, sharing glimpses of their realities and giving a voice to their experiences. Emma’s movie is a representation of different racialised strippers, drawing inspiration by hip hop clip videos & esthetics. This work is an invitation to open a space - free of fetishisation - for these dancers and to connect & prioritize their marginalised experiences.
Emma Neame is a multidisciplinary artist, videographer & pole dance performer. She works on the topics of the eRRotic, as well as the fetishisation of racialised bodies in the skripclub, in video clips and cinema. Being herself part of the skripper universe, she follows the urge to represent the different racialised skrippers of her world(s).

2Y THURSDAY - TRANS MASC JOY RIDE
WORKSHOP 10H > 13H
TRANSMASC CRUISING: Post-porn performance & writing workshop
This workshop was born out of the lack of cruising spaces for transmasc and people with deviant gender identities. We want to create a space for free exchange around our sexual fantasies. Often, cruising is made possible by a specific location or the use of a specific object. Here, we're using an everyday object to access a fantasized cruising. Here we define cruising as the act of meeting an unknown person in a public space with the aim of establishing sexual contact.
We´ll delve into our relationship to objects and how an everyday object and its (mis)use can enable a fantasmagoric/sf cruising. Through bodily practice, writing exercices and the combination of both we will look at places, addresses and objects of desire with cruising methods.
This workshop is inspired by our work as a duo Bobby & Bryan. In which we use experiences of our own life as a milestone for fiction in the form of a hybrid post porn performance. It’s a quest around trans fag identity as a new way of existing toward the world (in shape, desire and being).
Lyv Santerre's (he/they) passion is trans childhood, underwater life & porn, which he combines to create plays (they used to be a tr4444ny, 2024 & BROMANCE - how to be a good boy?, 2025) and visual art - his artistic research is rooted in the needs of his body and those around him, dissidentx, fatiguéx, crip, sexual and radical - he is also a scenographer for several Brussels-based queer and sex-positive parties, such as Missfitte, Lube and Not Your Techno.
Billy’s (they/them) research is about interpersonal affects, ruptures and absence. They are particularly interested in an approach on gaze and how affects impact our perceptions. They work at the intersection of performance, writing, sound and within collective practices (Tales from Drift, Bromance).
This workshop is for trans masculine people (this regarding any type of interpretation or « passing ») and aims at approaching questions around sexuality. No prerequisites in terms of experience in cruising, performance or writing are needed but a willingness to talk about your desires in whatever forms they might take. Bring an everyday object that is important in your everyday and comfortable clothes. The workshop will be given in French and English.
Standard price €15 / Solidarity price €10,50 / Support price €19,50
For those who want, we will share a lunch together between 13h till 14h, together with the participants of the second workshop. Included in the price. Because eating together is just as important as dancing together <3
SCREENING + Q&A 14H30 > 16H
BEYOND THE GOLDEN LINE
The film follows the journey of a Black transmasculine pole dancer navigating the emotional terrain of family and queer kinship.
During the after talk, we’ll explore questions of visibility, desire, movement, and care in transmasc life, and how our stories shift when we place them in relation to each other.
SJ Rahatoka (Also known as Jayden Ka) is a Black Transmasculine interdisciplinary performance creator and filmmaker based in Berlin. SJ’s creations explore the themes of Afrofuturism, Trans identity, Queerness, and Interconnectedness. In 2022, SJ wrote and directed Volana’s Eclipse, an experimental short film performed by Kalil Bat. The short film was selected for the Vierte Welle festival in the category Trans Lives matter and Xposed festival in June 2023. SJ directed Beyond the Golden Line that received the Jury Award of Xposed festival.

WORKSHOP 17H > 20H
TOO MASC 2 MOVE: A sensual masc movement lab
You must have seen him. That one guy in the club, so timid, so still. Standing on the edge of the floor, locked in place by some invisible script. Unsure what part of his body he’s allowed to move without cracking the fragile shell of his cis-normative masculinity. Barely shifting side to side, drink in hand, smile like a mask. I am stunned. This lab is for all the trans fags, trans dykes, stone butches, masc4mascs, transmasc femme boys, bois with pussies/titties, those who know that masculinity can be hard and holy, seductive and soft, heavy and tender, all at once. We acknowledge and embody that masculinity is not the sole property of cis men, and we are here to move with that truth.
This is a space to stretch out of tight definitions and into felt, shifting masculinities, we will approach masculinity as a choreography. Together, we will be asking questions like: what does it mean to carry masculinity in a body that's misread, erased, blended, refused, or desired differently? When and how are we denied those spaces we were once part of ? What is soft dominance, or tender swagger? What does it mean to sweat, dance, and breathe in a body that disrupts what masculinity is supposed to be?
We move with the tensions of visibility, and make space for the ghostly traces of butch, stones/femmes, fags/dykes, bois/daddies, tops/bottoms, ultimate switches, softies/brats, protectors/tamers, and all the things that don’t have names yet…
Lou (he/him) is a 25 years old trans man with a background in performance art and gender & diversity studies. He’s been exploring expression since the age of 10, when he first discovered breakdancing. Drawn to movement but searching for a sense of queer belonging, he later found community in the ballroom scene. Blending these past experiences, Lou brings his embodied history into dialogue with critical thought, to question (gender) norms, share stories, educate, and spark connection. His work is always asking what gender could be, if you let it dance a little.
Meriç (he/him) is a 30-year-old transmasc cultural worker, born and raised in the queer nightlife of Istanbul and now based in Brussels. For over a decade, he’s been weaving care, movement, and collective resistance into the spaces he builds, on stage, behind the decks, through protest, and in the soft shadows of afterparties. With a background in sociology, anthropology, and gender studies, his work traces how queerness moves through bodies and public space, from streets to dance floors. His practice blends grassroots organizing and creative expression, shaped by years of holding space under political repression.
This lab is for transmasculine and gender-nonconforming folks who move through the world in masculine-coded bodies, energies, or desires. All fitness levels, dance backgrounds, and body types are welcome. You don’t need to identify with any fixed label, just come if this feels like it’s for you.
Clothes you’ve wanted to wear but never quite dared to, pieces that pull at your desire, your gender euphoria, your soft swagger.
Items that scream “I am a man” (whatever that means to you): a tie, a protein shaker, a cap, a puffer vest, leather gloves, cologne, etc. Cartoonish or cliché masc accessories are welcome.
Kneepads or anything that can serve as makeshift ones
A small towel, an extra t-shirt (or binder-safe top) if you get sweaty, and a water bottle to stay hydrated.
Most importantly: your curiosity, your contradictions, your ghosts, your edge-of-the-dancefloorenergy. We’ll move from there.
Standard price €15 / Solidarity price €10,50 / Support price €19,50
Bar will stay open until 22h, so stay, hang, get to know each other!

Sensual Preggo Flow
Feel beautiful in your pregnant body and build strength with Kira! This course is for anyone carrying a baby - no minimum level of strength and flexibility required. Let go of stress, celebrate the metamorphosis your body is going through, bond with your little miracle and get deeply acquainted with your pelvic floor.

About Kira: I'm a regular at the sensual stretch, I love aerial silks, I'm taking a yoga teacher training in may-june (see here), I have a super cute toddler, I work for the environmental movement, my dream Friday night would be for the queer scene and the salsa scene to cross over and melt into a glittery super hot latin jazz blowout.

This class is ideal for those who want to elevate their heelwork with intricate and fluid movements at the base of the pole. Regressions and progressions are available, but it is advised that the student has experience with dancing in heels as the technique taught will be intricate. Inverting is not necessary, however, one climb may be added.
Those who sign up will receive a code to a video tutorial of what we learned on the day to keep forever, and more.

Dig Bick Energy
This workshop is for the dancer who wants to leave it all on the dancefloor with this killer hardstyle choreography. Think L.A hip hop meets sexy street style. Marrying the masculine and feminine together, we unleash an attitude that demands attention. Unapologetically taking up space, fast-paced, and badass AF. Step Up called - they want you in their next movie as a dancer
Regressions and progressions are available. Heels are advised but not compulsory. If heels are not your thing, you may wear clean runners to protect your feet. Kneepads are essential as we will be doing dynamic moves which may include kips depending on your skill set.

POC Pole w/ Bissi
During POC Pole, we come together as a community of racialised minds & bodies that enjoy pole dance. POC Pole aims to be a physical, emotional & political space for those affected by racism. It is a space in chosen mixity.
Different levels of pole dancers are welcome here! But you know the basic techniques of pole dance. This is not an initiation. We warm up together and will work on different skills and combos that can be adaptable to any level. You can also work on your own goals and ask guidance from the instructor.
A racialized person is “someone who is an actual or perceived member of a group which has been subject to a racialization process" - basically, anyone non-white. It's a pro-black and brown, pro-trans, pro-sexwork, pro-fat space. This is a non-competitive and non-comparative class, every pole-journey is valid.

Dina is a proud Palestinian woman with a deep passion for Dabkka, a vibrant and powerful traditional dance. From a young age, she represented her school in national festivals across Palestine and later began teaching Dabkka to both children and adults. Over the years, she has choreographed and performed in numerous cultural events, helping to preserve and share the spirit of Palestinian heritage.
Now based in Belgium, she is excited to continue this journey by teaching Dabkka here. She believes in the power of dance to connect people, celebrate identity, and build community.

Monokimono and Amina808, who provided the soundtrack to the movie, will both play a live concert. There will be plenty of community pole jam time (for new and longtime Jezebels!) and we end the night with a Jezebel to Jezebel dj set. Join us?

POC Pole w/ Bissi
During POC Pole, we come together as a community of racialised minds & bodies that enjoy pole dance. POC Pole aims to be a physical, emotional & political space for those affected by racism. It is a space in chosen mixity.
Different levels of pole dancers are welcome here! But you know the basic techniques of pole dance. This is not an initiation. We warm up together and will work on different skills and combos that can be adaptable to any level. You can also work on your own goals and ask guidance from the instructor.
A racialized person is “someone who is an actual or perceived member of a group which has been subject to a racialization process" - basically, anyone non-white. It's a pro-black and brown, pro-trans, pro-sexwork, pro-fat space. This is a non-competitive and non-comparative class, every pole-journey is valid.

Double Workshop w/ Younès Guilmot
Younès Guilmot is a dancer and artist who graduated from the National Center for Contemporary Dance in Angers. He has collaborated with various choreographers, including Amala Dianor, Alban Richard, and artist Tarek Lakhrissi. In 2021, he took his first pole dance class and instantly developed a passion for go-go dancing. Through his performances and videos, he advocates for a more fluid and decolonial approach to eroticism, deconstructing the representations and expectations placed on Arab and male bodies.

Pole 4 Asian Bodies: Bamboo & Booty
In a world shaped by the Western male gaze, Asian bodies are too often hypersexualized — exoticized, fetishized, consumed — or stripped of their sensuality altogether, seen as passive, submissive, or invisible.
To flip the script, we invite you to a pole initiation where we shake things up (literally), poking holes in tired stereotypes and building juicy, joyful connections to ourselves.
Reclaim your Asian body and move your body your way: curious, cheeky, powerful, or tender.
This space is all about community care and empowerment, with cultural nuance and intersectionality. We’re here to lift each other up and reimagine what it means to move, be seen, and belong.
✨ No experience needed
✨ No need to be bendy, buffy, or bold
✨ Just bring your body & your curiosity
This isn’t about nailing tricks or putting on a show.
It’s about showing up, shaking it out, and seeing what unfolds. Come stretch, spin, laugh, and surprise yourself. 💫
Practical info:
– For Asian bodies only, this space is lovingly just for us 💛
– Free of charge, just save your spot by filling out this form
– Sunday 15 June 2025
– From 15:00 to 18:00
– Max 15 babes in the room
– At Jezebel Pole Dance Studio (1080 Brussels), with the whole space to ourselves ✨

Invite your Asian friends, spread the word!
See you there!

14h > 16h Workshop Falling
This workshop is not a technical course, it's a journey. With the pole as our playground, we explore falling, giving up, and letting go. Voluntarily falling. Letting yourself slide. Trusting your body.
We'll be learning an extract from Blood Drinker's number ‘Fly’ - a solo born of an intimate, visceral and symbolic process. Trust yourself when you fall, you'll be able to get up again 🖤
Level required: be able to do an inversion, climb and hold on to the pole. No need to be technical. Just ready to feel.
FR//ENG
€15 or less with a Jezebel package
Subsriptions open 26/05 at noon!
16h30 > 18h30 Reading Performance from Blood Drinker
Blood DRINKER is the story of people who didn't start out at the same point as everyone else. They were given rules, expectations and paths they didn't choose. But today, they are taking back the power.
This project celebrates the freedom to exist fully, to burn with their own strength, without fear of falling. At the end of the road, it's no longer the gaze of others that you're wearing... it's you.

Pole Breakdance w/ Rosy
If you haven’t danced with Rosy yet, this is your moment! Step outside of what you know and get the Rosy experience….
Rosy is everything beyond the imaginable. Her style is like her way of teaching: always a big surprise. She invented her own way of being a breakdancer around the pole but her biggest asset of all is ‘the clown’. Leave your red nose at home because with Rosy you will definitely learn how to think and dance out of your box!
In this workshop we will learn basic breakdancing techniques, vocabulary and take a look at creation of choreographies. We’ll have fun mixing these aspects with pole dancing and release our wildest flow!
All levels welcome, including absolute beginners. You don’t need any previous experience with pole dance or any other sport/dance.
END OF SEASON pole PARTY !!!!
From now on, we won't end the season anymore without a big show !! This season the end-of-season show will take place Friday May 30th. A show by and for all our students - past, present & future. A moment to come together, celebrate and be proud of what we have learned over the course of the season.
19h Doors open
Come and have a drink, talk with other pupils about your pole journey, or just about the weather…
20h > 20h30 The Jezebel Quiz
Who remembers the most pole move names? Who knows the most about our teachers? Who knows when Jezebel Studio celebrates its birthday? Spring and Thilde put a quiz together to test your Jezebel knowledge!
20h30 > 22h30 Open Podium
Just like last year there will be an Open Podium; a moment for you to take the stage. This can be pole related, but can also be something else. Whatever you feel like showing, solo or in a group. No curation or selection is done; there is space for everyone. We again have put an amazing line-up and the performers are super excited to show you what they made <3
Experimental pole flow w/ Shy
Shy (they/them) is a belgian dancer, make up artist and all-round clown. Nowadays, they moved away from training tricks on the pole and created their own style and class they call experimental flow, in which they combine their love for poledance with their passion for movement exploration and being their weird little self.
In this class we let go of everything we ever learned about poledance. we find ways to move with the pole as an object to expand our movement possibilities. think hanging, pushing, holding, flexed feet, weird hands, isolations, and anything that feels good. We start the class with a 30 minute led improvisation, starting from very mindful movements on the floor, evolving to exploring with weight, focus on different body parts, flowing through up and down... after, we explore some experimental movement in static positions. At last we learn a little low flow choreo that we will dance together.
All levels welcome!
It is advised to wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt, but honestly anything that makes you feel good will do!
character exploration w/Shy
Shy (they/them) is a belgian dancer, make up artist and all-round clown. Nowadays, they moved away from training tricks on the pole and created their own style and class they call experimental flow, in which they combine their love for poledance with their passion for movement exploration and being their weird little self.
In this class we will work with choreo and improvisation to explore different moods and ways of performing. Elements such as music, costume and narrative can influence the ways in which we move and express ourselves. What changes in our dance when we add props? How is our improvisation influenced by what we wear? And can we tell different stories by making slight adjustments to a choreo? No performance experience required, just a basic level of poledance knowledge and an opennes to explore. All kinds of personalities are super welcome. Even potential shyness could be used to make a character.
All levels of (pole) dance welcome!
Bring any clothing that makes you feel good, and if you want, bring wigs, costume elements or come to class with a (weird) make up!

Cluster Creations w/ Aurora
This very new and exciting workshop with Aurora has the goal to step away from the independent mentality of pole dancing and to start working as one group around the pole. The way we pole dance is often very individual, but what if you have an organism of a large group of people moving together, not in function of the pole and doing tricks but in function of each other? The workshop is about seeking human contact, and making something immobile, hard and cold like a dance pole seem soft and fluid through the connections the group will make. The workshop will be guided and choreographed by Aurora but also includes free creation moments in little groups to research new patterns that are unique to the group.
This is a 3 hour workshop, with time for an introduction, breaks, snacks, “showcase” moments at the end and plenty of time for play!
Experience: Comfortable in Pole Base: climb, knee hook, sits. Comfortable with being touched and having physical contact from other people when dancing.
What to bring: Loose and comfortable clothes and pole wear (shorts, sports bra).
How to sign up: Subscribe via Jezebel Studio (Acuity platform). Because the workshop is 3 hours, you will pay with 2 credits when subscribing with a package or €30 if bought as a single class.

Queer Fight w/ Spring & Billie
Think back to childhood days when wrestling with friends was more about exploration than domination. Queerfight, as Spring and Billy see it, is a way to connect intimately, to understand each other’s bodies and boundaries in a playful and tender manner.

Nevruz/Newroz/Nowruz
Same name, similar roots, but across histories and borders, this day carries different struggles, different joys, and endless ways to celebrate. What remains unchanged? Spring is coming.
Shake off the winter blues, crawl out of hibernation, and step into the warmth of each other at Jezebel! Newroz means "the new day"—a day of fire, joy, and renewal. But for many, it’s so much more than just the turn of a season. It’s a burning symbol of resistance, identity, and defiance—and no one knows this better than the Kurdish people, who have carried this fire through centuries of struggle.
The taste of spring is in the air, the days are stretching longer, and we are ready to celebrate! Are you? Come dance to SWANA beats, together let’s get the Halay and the “fire” started!
📅 March 23 | 17:00-20:00 | Iftar Time 19:01
🍽 Potluck-style feast—bring a dish to share, bring your energy and your fire. 🔥
"Kaçak çay" (smuggled tea) and some other soft drinks will be on us.
Free event, no registration needed. Everyone welcome <3
