    you are totally right sensualscimitar. everything connected so its very possible to be tight somewhere else when another feels tight.

    I practice my splits at LEAST 4 to 5 days a week. its ok to do it every day but you might get sore and see that u cant quite get into it as easy as u could a couple days ago..(this happend to me, im sure everyones different) its ok to also have a rest day to let the muscles heal so when u get back into it youll notice u can get into it easier) it def takes time i ahve been workin on mine for quite some time an its still a hassel lol.. I do 48 mins of yoga after every practice, I so alot of OTHER leg stretches that will help with the splits, but when i get to the split itself, i dont go ALL the way down on the first breathe ease into it maybe by the second breathe, i go lower with every exhale and i either sit in it for 5 LOOOOOONG inhales an exhales or just one whole minute. Its always good to practice them when u are REALLY warmed up. Sometimes even a hot shower doesnt cut it its good to have some range of motion in the legs before u try.  Patience is the only thing i had to really learn with the splits since i still have problem with them if i dont stick to it on a reg basis.

    If anything, id use this to its advantage… Seeing ppl progress above me would make me want it even more! That would be my motivation and my kick in the butt to KEEP going lol an go hard! lol. Youll def have a com back, one day youll wake up and suprise yourself with what you can do.

    aww dont feel bad you def have a beautiful body!  ppl on youtube have been dancing for like ever and thats prob just what the pole did for their bodies. im going thru a little something myself. i use to be a little bigger. an im finally getting to where i want to be… but all of a sudden im hearing ppl say about girls that are my body type ( oh shes too skinny, i like meat, id break her) i didnt want to be concidered too skinny bc i loe having the big hips an i dont wanna let that go lol, since they look great for bellydancing, but i notice im happy with where i am, an i shouldnt care what ppl think… bc the things i do ( belly and pole dance and yoga) will change my body.. an theres nothing i can do about it. Enjoy your body when your dancing =) youll come a long way with confidence. The girls i bellydance with, all have different body shapes. theres my teacher who is SUPER skinny… Rock hard abs…. Theres me, thin, big hips, thick in certain areas…. and there are some students that are bigger than me. I love love LOVE that alot of the dancers all have different body shapes, heights. Its very interesting to watch. If everyone looked the same it would just be boring to me. I love how everyones different…. and you are def one that i like to watch for sure =)

  • I went to a strip club with my brother to pick up his girlfriend. And i saw her do one of her sets…. i think the first move i ever saw done on the pole was from her that night. And i think she either did the gemini or the butterfly. And thats when I fell in love. it looked soooo beautiful to me. I thought to myself.. I…. want to  be able to do that…I want to look like that up there… So she saw me one move at my brothers house on (i know its bad but i didnt know at the time) a PEEKABOO pole eeek… it was the side spin? not sure what it was called. then i saw my brother go upside down for fun an it pissed me off that i couldnt do it lol…pissed me off so much the very next day i went up side down =) i wanted it so bad. ever since then, i was on my own. And taught myself. from watching videos on youtube. Its weird to look back at that an where im at now… The reason I continue i think is both the same and different. I still want to look that good on the pole, but i also want to look better. Not better than HER just…. make the movement look better. More flexible, more strong, more….me… I want to be noticed for what I do one day, once i am able to bring out the dancer in me. Once i am able to bring out that emotion. I learned in the workshop i was just at that its SOOO hard to show REAL emotion. And so easy to see fake emotion. I can def fake it. But I want to feel it… I want the pole to be my dance partner. I continue bc It makes me strong, flexible,different. Makes me happy. Proud. confident. Someone ive never been in my life….even as a bellydancer. Pole made me open up more and do better with bellydance. And i cant wait to open up bellydance with pole dance =) Over all, I continue bc I see the transformation its done for me. And i dont want to stop at that. I want more =)

    at first  i didnt like the way i looked in anything i recorded lol. when i started. Not just bc of weight just bc… i wasnt very fluid. Or flexy. i was just…there lol… Over time i became stronger, an just looked fit (not neccesarily loosing weight) just getting more toned from the pole an flexible with it an just more connected with the pole. NOW… ill record… i can watch it all night an smile an be proud… the next day maybe watch it once with a smile. after that. i get so sick of watching my self its like…. EH! NEW VIDEO!!! lmao….an i also get sick of the song too if i ever hear it come on again hahahaa.  but no matter how much u HATE your videos. especially if ur starting out. ALWAYS keep them. i only kept ONE froma  long time ago. an i WISH i kept the rest they are so fun to look back at as u get better =)
