I’m not blaming anyone but myself. But I hope no one holds it against me 😕

Well I dropped out. I have performed before. But this was different. It’s a week out and I was physically ill, and balling my eyes out. There is a lot more too it. And maybe it’s just complicated with the stuff I feel like I’m dealing with personally. I think I may have really upset the studio owner, as she hasn’t written me back. Which really hurts me. But I’ve spent hundreds upon hundreds at her studio and it’s not like she turned people away from performing and I took a spot from someone else. I didn’t. So I hope she doesn’t hold it against me.
I guess at this point I just need a break. Mentally and physically. If it was just one night I could maybe push past.but 3 nights seems insurmountable at this point.
I spent the weekend in bed instead I’d with my family. It shouldn’t be like that. I’m never going to be Michelle shimmy, this isn’t my livelihood. This is supposed to be fun. Not make me hate pole and myself.

Thank you. 💕
I want to quit 😢I’ve been in a bad place all day. I know there is something to be said about fighting through it. But isn’t this supposed to be fun?

Yeah, they are a little bulky, but I don’t feel like the MG ones are padded enough for my boney knees 🙈
I ended up with the ones I have because Michelle shimmy wears them and I’m kind of a fan girl 😛
That being said, I haven’t really poled in them. Just floor stuff 🙂

I got these in “junior”

I would give both a try. There are valuable things to be taken from both. But trying out both and seeing where you feel comfortable would be great.
I personally had a really got experience with private lessons at an instructors house. But I’ve hear horror stories… bad technique, or really unprofessional instructors. I have a friend who said she’d pay for a hour and the woman would be on the phone, or yelling at her kids. Going to someone’s house can be hit or miss.
Same with studios. I’ve been to a few, and I’m comfortable at the one I’m at. And I feel like a little more likely to push myself in a class then just with a single instructor.

Has anyone ever tried henna?

Aw thanks! Those are the same ones with bad reviews on amazon. But I guess everything is going to have good and bad reviews so maybe I’ll just order it and see what happens 🙂 thanks!

Ya know what?! My last patient today said I didn’t introduce myself before I sat down and started talking to her, she told the front desk lady that I was “very rude” even though I walked in the room and said hello and asked how she was feeling today…. and she snubbed me so I just was quiet and did my exam without chit chatting…. Then the receptionist told me she complained when she left.
Well I cried the whole way home from work and I’m still upset. It sucks, but you really can’t please everyone. Sometimes you just need to shake it off. Easier said then done. :/

This really bothers me. I’ve seen it all over FB today too. Aside from the content… That’s a STOLEN picture of Marlo, at Body and Pole. As someone who does attend classes there from time to time I do take it personally…. 😡😡😡

Ugh!!!! That’s so horrible! I can’t state that enough… Hugs.
Ok so I usually go to a mixed level class…. And my teacher always says something quick about “call me if you need a spot” and often times I do. I’ll wait for her if she is with someone else rather than do something I’m not comfortable doing on my own. It kind of seems like common sense that someone would call you over and actually ask for a spot if they needed one, but sometimes people need you to say it. 🙂
I also think no one should think that they are “above” the basics. And it’s crazy rude to leave.
Usually my mixed level classes do some kind of progressions or level differences. Like superman from the ground, superman from just hooking your knee at hip height and dropping into jasmine, then doing the hip flip, or for the inverters…. Gemini to superman… And for those well above that working on a new transition in or out of it.
I’m sorry again. It’s so hard not to take things personally. I just keep feeling like these girls sound really cliquey and mean-girl ish.
I think every new job comes with a lot of insecurities and doubts. Don’t let it discourage you!!!

Love that picture… or something that shows off your flexibility. I love some of your crazy beautiful split shots!
-
Are you inverting primarily on one side?
-
These might be a bit pricey….
