I had this same problem

Thank you Runemist34 and Veena 🙂

I really love your tips for flow and movement in the 30day flow program Veena.
Thats actually the reason I started pole in the first place!
…i was wanting to learn how to move more fluidly and sensually
I actually never really intended to learn any tricks, but *trick progression* seems to be what most studios offer (here in aust, at least).

Yes, i think its just a matter of reminding myself why I started, and what I’m wanting to gain from
my learning.

Thanks again. g. xx

Hi Lisa, and welcome 🙂
Of course you should be here!
Something has drawn you here to pole … and that means it’s worth pursuing. xx

All of us have our reasons and challenges for taking this on.
For me, it is my age. And those voices in my head try to stop me every time.
But I was so tired of the small *box* everyone has always fitted me into …
I’ve only been dancing for a few short months, but I know it helps me feel healthier, stronger and happier. More confident. – no matter what others may think of me, or my decision to dance.
… I don’t think our thoughts about age or gender should stop either of us – is that a Deal? 🙂

I am too new on the scene to know if there are other transgender dancers, but perhaps you could search out someone online to inspire you? Aunt Google does seem to know everything!
There may be someone you can look to when you feel hesitant, to inspire you to keep going.
Perhaps they will be transgender, perhaps not.
And perhaps it will be YOU inspiring others in a few years or months! 🙂
… and everyone here can say we knew you at the very start.

I’m currently starting with the 30 day take off.
And I have a YouTube playlist of pole dancers to inspire me on those days I feel a bit unsure of myself. They remind me why I’m here, and my goals of wanting to move with confidence and grace and sensuality.

I look forward to supporting you in your journey sweetheart.

Thank you @grayeyes for your warm welcome.
I really appreciate you taking the time, and your advice too 🙂

Yes, I think I know what you mean about being embarrassed by what others might think of me pole dancing…I feel exactly the same way at the moment. 
And I guess thats why it ‘hurt’ so much to not have the support from the few friends I trusted with that information.

Anyways i look forward to hearing more from you 🙂
