Yeah, I have a pair of plain black shoes. I wasn’t sure about the ankle strap either. I’ve never bought shoes without them but borrowed a pair once for work and just used ties to keep them on and it worked fine

SO many typos, but I was really excited to talk to people about costumes and Halloween. All of my friends are "Bleh" about Halloween :<

I challenge myself as hard as I can with…
spins!
While inverting and different mounts are really impressive, I love the feeling of….hm…I don’t even know the word–fluidity I feel when I string together a nice combo of pirouette variations and spins. The first pole move I ever wanted to learn was the pretzel spin, and while I can’t currently preform any one handed spins, when I can put that stress on my arm again it will definitely be a move I will force myself to learn 🙂 spin fluidity is something so overlooked by the community sometimes when a majority of the competitive scene has turned into almost strictly vertical gymnastics with one or two floorwork transitions. Honestly, I think I personally shy away from floorwork because it has the word “work” in it :p

Point being (because my phone submits onl half of the message) go where you want, teach where you want. But remember that some places aren’t a “family” and are just a bunch of rude catty women trying to run a business for the money (I’ve seen series packages as expensive as $300 for beginner….)

I go to studios when I travel, and I’m thinking about only sticking to the studio here in phoenix (but it’s hard when there aren’t any intermediate/adv classes) and Poletential (I go for open pole and it’s AMAZING people are SO helpful!) in the bay area when I go vacationing. The last studio I visited in phx was so rude to me it was unbelievable. The teacher refused to call me anything but a beginner student (because you know, beginners have a strong aerial invert and reverse iguana mount) and asked me to buy her beginner series before moving to intermediate. There are only one or two intermediate moves I can’t do (excluding knee holds) due to not be super flexy. Even her website makes her come off as a word I don’t use often. And she’s trained all of her instructors to talk smack about the two other studios in the area. Oh, and one of her instructors came into my workplace and called me a slut for being an exotic dancer over just teaching pole and doing it for fitness in my basement like everyone else. I’ve been burned from studios losing workshop spaces and also rude business owners to even think about going to a new studio,.

Whenever I have a pole dream I feel weightless and such, but it's never not doing tricks I've never done before. It's always the same ones that I can do, but no one is watching me. I get frustrated at first, but then don't care because I'm poling for me.

Hm. What kind of toothpaste are you using? I want to try.

I feel like my body isn't made to pole in certain positions—I have an hourglass figure anatomically–the amount of fat on my body won't change that my chest and my hips are the exact same length around my body. It makes things like Roxy and Flying Ballerina impossible because the pole presses into my ribs. Worst pain I've ever felt my life. But I could be doing it wrong, because I'm close to neither.
BUT. There's still many things that are super easy for me to do. I can't name very many things that people just do (like playing an instrument or singing or dancing or painting) and most things take work. Some aspects are just more difficult than the others, and practice makes perfect.

You know, I read an artical about this sort of thing the other day:
I'm not sure how much of it is true/false/half of both the information is, but I found it interesting and thought it tied into the conversation really well. And also, I'd love to participate 😀
My small goal is actually to help myself before I help others (I'm kinda a doormat) and I guess I'll make a fitness goal too….I'll work up my pull-ups :3
