Pole Goals
What happened to those video tutorials?
Ah, yes, the video tutorials. Nice idea, weren’t they? A little fun, a little different, something useful. All good, right?
Except, um, not so much.
Which is to say that until I can rearrange my home such that doing a video is not such a fucking pain, they are going to show up here only randomly. Like when I’m in a particularly frolicsome mood and have eaten a lot of pie.
But, until then, I thought we might do something else …
What? What else could we do?
So glad you asked!
I was thinking, it would be fun to think about our goals in pole dancing – pole goals! And, you know, touch base every other week and see where we are and what’s going on.
I’ll update you here on all the details as I strive to become the hot and luscious pole dancer of my dreams, and you can all share your pole goals in the comments. Or not. Whatever. Feel free to just read what your pole buddies are up to, too – it’s all good. 
So, ta-da …
My Pole Goals
1. To regain my strength and endurance after the ass-kicking cold I’ve had since getting back from the USPDF. (My last class, I had to stop after WALKING AROUND THE POLE and catch my breath. Seriously. Pathetic as hell, but, really, my lungs were just not getting any oxygen.)
2. To work on my prep exercises to get me back into climbing and – one day soon, I hope! – inverting! I haven’t been climbing or inverting since last summer when my back freaked out and I had to start over at the beginning, and my glorious teacher who specializes in people relearning pole after having been injured, insisted I go back and build a strong foundation. (She rocks!)
So, there you have it – what I’ll be working on over the next two weeks. Now it’s your turn – what are your current pole goals?
P.S. Thank you to Sabrina Campagna for the lovely photo!
goals:
acheive jacknife, spinning scorpio, and staright edge (w/o cheating!)
get my jade flat already
wwork on building routines and not always freestlyling
do shoulder mount flip (w/o breaking my head open )
do knee hold w no boots on
there is a ton more, but these are my main things for now.
I have a few goals over the next few months.
1. Continue to rehab my shoulder
2. Continue to build core strength
3. Continue to create awareness of “The Grande Dames of Pole Fitness” (the “over 50′s” group of pole dancers).
Wow! Looks like we all like the pole goals! Can’t wait to check in with you all again on this in two weeks and see what we’ve all been up to.
Happy poling, everyone!
My pole goals are to
1. To set up my pole!
2. not take such long sabbaticals
3. To motivate myself to continue with Jamilla’s Art of Pole series
My goals are to:
1.continue improving my skills as a teacher
2.be a good representative for pole fitness in general, the USPDF, the PFA, and Poletential
3.travel to different studios around the country and share my love of pole with other while learning from them in the process
4.continue to develop my own strength, skills, fluidity, style, and creativity
My goals are to:
* work on strength in my left hand after an injury
* work on more practice time at home
* work on more better strength for more aerial inverts with greater ease
I’m starting over too because of my leg so…
1) Improve on my core strength
2) Learn more transitional moves and floorwork
3) Practice more! I get lazy sometimes
1) My goal is to rehab my shoulder.
2) Practice the advanced moves more often.
3) Work on my fluidity and finesse on pole moves.
4) Challenge myself to dance “faster”. I’ll always pick the slowest beat to dance to.
