Pole Instructor Mistakes?
-
Vent away. But also, have you brought this up with the studio? Explain to them that they will be losing money because they do not offer enough classes for the need and you routinely get shut out of class. A good business owner will take a look at things.

The students who are interested in the classes that have been cut back are being encouraged by the instructors to make sure they say something to the studio owner about how much they loooove those classes and want to see more of them, because that's how those new classes got on the roster, by expressions of interest. I personally have not done so yet but it's among the many many things on my to-do list.
I do know that one of the Intermediate instructors is moving to another state soon, which makes me nervous – I don't know if they're going to fill her slot with other instructors, or reduce the Intermediate classes in favor of something else with a high demand (creating even more competition to get into those Intermediate classes). I'll have to wait and see…

Don’t mean to hijack the thread or change the subject ladies, just saying my class went great last night! I definitely prefer this one, at least thats what the intro class showed me. It was more organized, we started off with a 10 minute warmup and stretching exersize, then the instructor taught us 5 moves, a pretty dismount, and some strengthening techniques. I definitely got better vibes off this studio than the first one. In the end she told me I was free to move on the beginner one since I caught on so quick! Im super excited! 😀

Oh no, if anything I hijacked your thread, Jadorebree! Glad you had a good experience at your second studio.

Thanks pankake! I think it had more to do with more girls in the class with me…made me feel a little less awkward, since I dont have a pole buddy to go with me. Lol. But I still might invest in the SV lessons. Has a big part of your learning come from there?
-
Yay! I'm glad the second class went so much better!
I did find great value in having the SV lessons along with taking studio lessons. Why? because if I was struggling with a move in class, the days I wasn't in pole class, I could work on it through SV lessons and the majority of the time thanks to Veena's detailed lessons, I would have the move by next class! It is great to have the ability to continue to work on a move at home with SV lessons as your guide 🙂

I concur, Veena's lessons are totally worth the investment – I didn't realize how valuable they were until I canceled my lessons here to start going to a studio (it was an either/or thing for my budget) and instantly missed the ability to watch the lessons.
Veena does such a great job of breaking it down, doing the move from all different angles, showing different options, and building you up for the next step. An instructor can do that too, but you only get her for what, an hour or two a week? She has other students to teach, she can't magically move in slow motion, and you can't sit there and hit "replay" to see her do it as many times as you need to understand the move.
As an intermediate dancer I find that in-person classes are valuable for instant feedback and support, encouragement to try things that scare me, and to instill some regularity into my practice. Veena's lessons are good for seeing the larger picture of how moves work together and progress into each other, and for practicing and fine-tuning at home.
