Advice for an Enjoyable Pole Dancing Journey
I don't believe that there is only so much you can do on a pole. The possibilities are endless. I think of it like driving on a journey, only I don't have a map or even know where I am going. Though I have some idea where I would like to. Even though I don't know where I am going, I am enjoying myself, as I like being on this journey. If I get to the end of one road, I choose a different turning and take that route. Who knows where it will go?
I would have to find another discipline to focus on if I felt if I could do all I could on the pole. Right now the thought is inconcievable and it would be a very sad event too. There are so many different forms of movement that can be incorporated and music options are infinite, that if I believed that nothing more could be done, for what reason would there be to try to achieve more? Don't rush your pole dancing journey. Enjoy your progression. A slow gentle journey is way more enjoyable than a rushed, driven competition. A little competitiveness is good for you and admiration of other pole dancers is a good thing, but too much is destructive and can lead to bitterness and resentment. When looking upon a pole dancer who you think is great, do not try to be like them although you can learn from them, be yourself and be the best that you can be. Be the best that you can be and don't ever forget why you started pole dancing in the first place.

I completely agree with all you've said. I started pole dancing (thanks to you!) just over a year ago. Due to the fact I run 2 businesses I am very busy, so busy that I rarely get the time to dance these days, but I think about it all the time and very much enjoy myself when I do dance.
When I am on forums, I see people who have been dancing intensively for 3-4 months and they often have 'over-taken' me in terms of tricks. Sometimes I really beat myself up about this and feel inferior, but when I have my sensible head on I do not compare myself to other people.
I am pleased with my own abilities and I'm enjoying my own journey, at my own pace.
I love what you have written here, i resinate with what you are saying, Poetry, you said it all :)
