LOL i pictured something like scarlett o’hara THROWING herself into the pole in a fit of drama.

its something like that but picture it a lot less gracful than anything that she would manage https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

how do you guys feel about the bruises you’ve gotten from practicing? when i first started i was like, "OH YEAH!!! MY TROPHY BRUISES! I EARNED THESE SUCKERS!" but now sometimes I get embarassed by them- like, "damn! that shouldn’t be happening anymore!"

i don’t mind at all when i first started i was sooo bruised ankle to hip it actually hurt to walk after now even when i have a "Scarlet O’Hara Session" (when i just get like whatever lets just do this and throw myself at the mercy of the pole and see what happens) i dont get nearly as bruised as i did any bruises, cuts ( i cut myself alot with my own nails when doing half-handspring into basic butterfly) orwhatever i am proud to show them i earned them it means i got off my a$$ and tried something i took chances and i’m proud of my little war wounds its part of the process and i think even the really good dancers still get some bruising here and there they just cover it better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif
