  When I teach, I usually do
  Warm up and some strength (pull up crunch, pole row, …) before I start with pole moves.
  Some people find it really hard to do spins, so I usually start with
  Pole walk
  Turns, pirouettes
  Body wave
  Some simple transitions to the floor
  Floorwork
  When I start with spins I usually do in this order:
  Plie Spin
  Galopp Spin
  Back V-Spin
  Fireman
  Back Hook
