#polepractice

[violettenightshade]

Three months ago marked the 2 year anniversary of my pole dancing journey. On May 12, 2022, I attended my very first pole class, a pole flow basics session. It was a completely new experience for me, especially since most of the other women in the studio had been dancing or doing gymnastics since childhood. I had no prior exposure to anything like this.

I had always been the nerdy, awkward, misfit, timid, weirdo girl my whole life. Stepping into a space that demanded physical and emotional vulnerability was incredibly challenging. I struggled not just with the physical movements, but also faced my emotional blocks and insecurities head-on for the first time.

I’m deeply grateful for everything pole dancing has taught me and the opportunities it has opened up. If you’d told my past self that I’d be confidently twirling and performing in front of others, I’d have thought it was a joke. This is what it means to shift into new realities—by tackling difficult challenges and embracing the unknown.

I chose this practice session as my two-year check-in because it serves as a reminder that perfection isn’t the goal. I had originally planned to film a polished video with a glamorous look, but instead, I decided to share a raw, in-the-moment clip of me nailing a difficult combo that I wouldn’t have been able to do two years ago.

I’ve made huge progress, and my journey continues as I explore new and exciting territories.

💜 Throwback Thursday 💜⁣ ⁣ I wish this was about flexibility but the reason why I almost reach a 180 split is because I gained a lot of confidence on ayesha elbow grip and I can arch my back and lower my right foot a lot more without losing my balance. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #poledancer #poledancetrick #polepractice #throwbackthursday #poledance #polesplit #ayeshavariation tion #ayeshaelbowgrip #ayeshasplit #balance #allenarsiacasa #split #upsidedown https://www.instagram.com/p/B9oRlJiIc1i/?igshid=1l44c4dtldfuk

Raindrop is helping me set up. I’m only going to attach the pole when I’m using it so till then it’s covered in tarp. #quarantinepole #poledancer #teamclearheels #sidehustle #polepractice #clubquarantine #stayathomeclub #talesfromthestrip #poledancing #poledance #quarantinehustle #quarantinehustlerśś https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2fI9fgJ-X/?igshid=6a6r75kpyklr

This is what pure encouragement, love, and pole fun sounds like. @rachelhun and @bornbellodominicano can always be counted on for some good background chatter. I have never posted a "figuring out a trick" video, but I think it's important to show us learning and not just the perfect clips. This is an obviously not clean combo, but this is what trying new stuff looks like for us. #Pole #poledance #polefitness #polepractice #Workout #Fit #Fitness (at Polecats Aerial Fitness LLC)
