2011 August Challenge

Veena started this discussion · 8/1/2011

The Challenge is.....Accept your Self! ❤️ You may dance to any song of your choosing or pick a song that represents loving/accepting who you are! THEN This is the important part....In the VIDEO DISCRIPTION....write 3 things you like about the video or your body. So often we are our own worst enemy (this is an ongoing stuggle for myself) and I know this holds a person back with so many things in our life, even pole dancing. You don't have to dance perfectly...just enjoy who YOU are. We had some great suggestions for the August challenge, thanks everyone! xoxo

This is really timely. I've been incredibly critical of my work lately. Thanks, Veena!

Alright I guess I have to do this one. My computer shit the bed and died in may ( I have a shoes only vid still on my camera) The Aug challenge will be motivation to get my POS fixed and finally post a challenge vid. My bday is in august so this is quite fitting. I would also like for this to be my first edit free vid. Maybe even a MPDAlberta audition. Good idea Veena.

You don't have to use a pole...feel free to chair, hoop, use silks or even just dance around for this one. 🌸

From the minute i read this, i already had 10 songs picked out for this challenge...i'm worst than my biggest critic, so YES its time for me to see the GOOD in myself ❤️
Finreah · 8/2/2011
I really,really like this and think it will also be incredibly hard. I think I'll make this my first challenge video.
Trena · 8/2/2011
Fantastic challenge! We all find it so hard to find good things about ourselves when really we are all awesome!! 🙂
sexygyrl · 8/2/2011
Love the Challenge and look forward to it. I did "Perfect" by Pink when I posted my previous video....that would've been great to use. BTW, it would be great if we could post video from phone! An app would be great, but to be honest I am not sure what that would change. The access to SV from my phone is great. I just have SV bookmarked and use it frequently.

I dig this challenge...... cool idea.

This will be my first Veena Challenge. And I think I really needed this particular one this month. Thanks, Veena! Emily

Don't thank me, thank Descalzada! Her post (shown below) inspired the idea! 🌸 - I would like to see a "No Disclaimers" challenge ... a month of posting any/all videos without the usual disclaimers "Well, it's really not good, cuz I was tired/sick, and I'd already been practicing for X hours, after not practicing for days/weeks, and my leg/back/arm/etc was sore ..." C'MON, ladies! if you can't say something nice about yourself, say nothing at all!!!
stainless · 8/3/2011
I LOVE THIS CHALLENGE!!! Thanks Descalzada and Veena. I just (not even 2hrs ago) had a conversation with one of my students about being and accepting yourself..." your pole self" for who you are. I posted a video on YouTube of my intermediate class doing their first routine and she is a little embarrassed. Which is OK but then she started picking out ALLLLLLL the things she did/does wrong... not OK! I told her that the pole world doesn't look like Jenyne Butterfly and no matter how awkward you may feel just be yourself and have fun, no explanations needed. So, I have decided to try and get my whole class involved with this one, especially the write 3 things you like part :)
DenisseMaria · 8/3/2011
