I think everyone is different would respond differently to comments like that and that is where a teacher needs to get to know their students to learn how each student learns.
All i can think is that if my instructor made a comment like that to me in to my body I would probably feel awful and stop going to that studio. I want someone to give me advice on how to get better using the body i have. I don't want them to just observe that I can't do something because of the body I have.
But that is me….everyone responds differently. A suggestion might be to ask a student why they think they are having trouble with a move/spin and then proceed from there?

I live in Northern Canada so I actually weather them for warmth reasons in winter. They keep the snow from getting into my shoes and freezing my ankles. 🙂 I like to wear them when i dance though. They keep me warm when i first start warming up and they are just fun and awesome to wear. 🙂

Hey I am a beginner who has been working at it for about 6 months. I also run into the issue of comparing my self with others and becoming frustrated with my own progress. I have to continually remind myself that i need to only compare myself against myself. Due to medication I build muscle about 25% slower then the average person and pole uses muscles I did not previously use before.
I have made progress and I continually use videos to track my own progress so I can show myself just how far I have come.
You will get better, it does take time. And as hard as it is remind yourself to focus on the progress you make rather then the progress other people are making.
we all progress at different rates and something my teacher says is that we all have different stengths and weaknesses. Some have awesome upper body strength. Others have great core or lower body strength. Some have great elegance and graceful form while dancing. We all bring something different to it.
Bottom line. You will get better. Just keep building on your strength and flexibilty and the moves will come along after.

I have a 50mm and I really enjoy it. While I'm not tall and I know that my hand grips would be easier, i found it to be way easier for learning leg grips. Eventually I think I will add a 45mm to my pole collection but I think that when you are passionate about pole you will find a way to learn on any pole!

it took me years to finally be able to do the splits, and i can only do them on my right side. I worked hard in gymnastics and dance. Sometimes being pushed but it wasn't untill i overcame my own mental fear that it would hurt was i able to move that last two inches to the floor. It takes time, but if you ease into it and listen to your body it shouldn't hurt anymore then any other stretch.

I have definetly been trying to work on my left side more. I'm lucky to have a studio that makes us practice on both sides but it frustrating trying to learn new tricks that i can do easily on my right and then have it be almost impossible to learn on my left. I need more arm mucles in my lefty!
