Pole Practise

I had the best pole practise tonight. Sometimes it's really refreshing to switch instructors up every once in a while.

I also find some styles of instruction suit me better than others - I feel like I progress better with more guided instruction. Instead of 'what are you working on today?' I prefer 'we're working on this move today'. You'd think the more specific would be hard to do with a class of people all at slightly different skill levels, but given that the moves have a progression to them, it's easier than you might think. Besides, even if it's a move you already have, there are always things you can do to polish and improve.

The benefit? I actually feel like I accomplished something this class.It's been awhile since I was so proud of myself for getting bruised on the pole learning something new (lol). I've made progress for sure, but it's been slow and since most of the people in my current class are a little bit ahead of me, I feel like I'm working on things alone. Yes I can ask questions, but it's missing that group sense of accomplishment when we're all working on getting the same things.

In any case, I may be switching to mondays on a more frequent basis in the near future.

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I worked on something called a 'cross ankle release', the 'extended butterfly' and my 'shoulder mount'
