If I were 100% positive that was the real reason, I would tell her, “it looks like you’re struggling. Here try to position the pole a little higher on the back of your thigh, so you have a little more room to rotate over. Keep practicing your advance apprentice hold until until you get the feel that the pole is just in the right place and you have enough room. Try practicing with 1 foot on the ground. You’re doing great! Not everyone gets this move right off the bat.” I wouldn’t mention the size of her thighs. That is too personal for some people.

Awesome post, Amy! Very well said.

Thanks, everyone! 🙂

She did look a little taken aback for a second at first, but didn’t react much. Everyone was standing there. She acted pretty normal, but seemed quiet after class.

@horsecrazy.. she made the comment in front of everyone and moved on to the next person. She did get up and demonstrate how she herself does the move. No modifications. I don’t think she meant to be mean, I just don’t think she used common sense.

Advanced Apprentice to Superman. She said her callous felt like it was ripping off every time she went to turn. She did the move fine last week. The sub didn’t know this.

Actually, this girl can do this move and has done it before. She complained that her callouses were hurting her and it made her stop half way through. The sub didn’t know this and was making an assumption.

Thanks for these responses. I recently studied for and passed my ACE certification exam and there is a chapter on teaching styles and intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and maintaining adherence. Pointing out something like that is a definitely not professional, helpful or motivating.

Practicing super advanced moves burns more calories too. I think of it more as a circuit training type workout. Doing cardio (dance) and strength together.

@nymphdancer, I love the chocolate chews! Yum! I love the caramel ones too. 🙂 I have liked every product I've tried also. I haven't tried making the protein bars. That sounds delicious!
@Sair, I have the same hand creme on my desk at work. 🙂

@nypmphdancer- that’s awesome!!! :)) I use the RE9 Advanced Body Cream mostly, and also will sometimes use the Ginger Citrus body cream at night. 🙂 I also like the FC5 body lotion. :))

Welcome!! I’m 5’1″ and from the Chicago area too. 🙂 I actually prefer the 50 mm over the 45 mm but I learned on a 50 so I’m more used to it. I agree most acrobats and gymnasts are petite, so that’s definitely an advantage. 🙂

Check out Arbonne.com too. The Skincare, Health and Cosmetics are premium quality and vegan. They are awesome! I do it part time myself. A friend of mine is just one step away from getting her white Mercedes. That’s what you get when you reach Regional Manager status. I love all of their products….Especially the RE9 line. No mineral oil in any of their products too. I use the lotion all the time and have no problems poling. 🙂
