From my very first pole dancing class, I was HOOKED. I guess you could say it was love at first spin :D

I felt like the stars had aligned, that I had found the missing piece to the puzzle... and all the other cliche sayings you can think of.

This passion and love for pole dance burned brightly into the first months. I was a keen bean, wanting to learn all and any new trick thrown at me and to progress fast through the levels.

Overtime, I found myself falling out of love with pole. That initial passion and excitement, to go to class and practise, had gone.

So, I had to sit down and have a good hard think about why this had happened. I soon realised it was all in my thinking. When I looked around, I noticed this phenomenon was not unique just to me, but also plagued most other pole dancers at one point or another.

Why? In a nutshell, WE ARE WAY TOO HARD ON OURSELVES.
To the point we suck out all the fun and enjoyment out of the things that bring us joy, not just pole dance!

Pole dancers tend to be a specific breed, people who love to 'perfect' things. This is common within 'performance' or 'tricks' based sports where there is a very clear box to tick whether you have or haven't achieved a move.

It has taken some time to shift my mind set to remember why I started pole dance in the first place and get my love back again. In this video, I share this story with you in hopes that you can take something of value and apply it to your own situation if and when this happens to you.

• SAFETY PRECAUTIONS •

Pole dancing is super fun but there are also risks involved you should be aware of before starting. These videos are advice only and are not intended to replace in-person professional classes. Please warm up before engaging in pole dancing to prevent injury! I am not a professional pole dance teacher. I recommend attending in-person classes before trying any moves on your own, especially when learning upside down tricks where a spotter is essential! If you have a pole at home, please make sure it is set up properly and is from a reputable supplier. There is always an element of risk when pole dancing and by following these videos you may be placing yourself at risk of injury. Please be careful and only do moves within your skill level.

Happy pole dancing :)
