Are We There Yet?

@JeM (13) I felt the same about pole and stuck with it. The blue shins were worthwhile... eventually. 2 years later, I'm still not as good as some of the girls, but I have grace and strength and can link moves together. maybe you need to try another studio, different teachers will get different results as they all teach differently. One thing I tell all my pole students is not to compare themselves against others, that just sets you up to fail; only ever compare yourself against yourself. It's a better way to measure progress.

jane, do you have the right shoes for dancing? I've been dancing Ceroc for almost 3 years but for the first year I was decidedly average until I invested in proper leather soled dancing shoes - made a huge difference!

@ Chilli - which studio do you dance at?

Stick in there you will be fine the more you do it the easier it will become. My dancing skills are ok I have never danced to a routine but have really evolved form the side-step clap and the golden era of MC Hammer running man days!

I suck at Tennis and golf. I can putt up a storm and often cane it at mini putt but can I hit the damn ball off a tee or off the ground straight, hell no I finally decided it wasn’t for me when I went to a driving range, hit the ball up into the roof where it ricocheted off and hit the guy next to me...

This is going to sound incredibly cheeseball, but I LOVE YOU GUYS. Seriously, you make me laugh and you are so encouraging, which is all kinds of awesome.

@ Sasha #16 Don't listen to them, where the chucks, I do and will continue to. Solidarity!

I am useless at following dance steps but can dance, we all can, it just takes practice cept when someone tries to outdo you, yea its a competition not expression, geezus, dick! not that they listen cause they're dicks, yes ladies like most males *cough, i mean whats up with girls who can't throw etc, p.e. parental system not paying dues, it coronaton st thats got me drinkin see, it helps with coordination see. I thought i'd be a shoo in for stand up but forgot i get stage fright, strange i've played music in front of people but i was never alone and i'm funniest when cynical or else i can't tell a joke to save my life, i don't remember how it goes, yea one of those kinda peepz but it comes across as bitter or mean spirited on stage when really i think lifes a lark, it has to be with the way it goes and i love everyone, i don't trust em but i love em bla, Geez Jane, you're too tired and under stress one day and now you're doing jazz classes, um you have a habit lady, long as ya happy, Ciao.
