Hey there girls 😀 hope ur all doing good! 👽 Well once again Ive come on here asking for a little more advice 🙁 After passing exams in school I decided to stay on to do 4 A-Levels. My natural plan was to go to college, but I was to naive to leave my friends and school lifestyle, so I stayed on. Its been 2 months and I HATE it! The teachers are unfair with us, the work is a struggle and looking back now I know its not what I wanted 🙁 🙁 I cant leave, as it means waiting a year to do nothing then apply for college next september, should I just endure it? Or... Ive improved a lot with my pole dancing since my last post, and as I said there its just such a relief and a release to get on the pole and do what we all do best on here! I recently read an article about a 16 year old girl whos opened her own pole fitness studio, now I know Im deadly passionate about pole dancing, and one of my dreams is to teach other people in my area as there isnt really much to do around here. And I thought, well I can do that surely? Anyone can when they set their mind to it! It sounds ridiculous as Ive only been poling since May but I really do dream of having my own place to teach and competing in competitions and parties, but when I told my parents they laughed and said it was just a "phase" and Ill get bored soon! 😲 😈 😲 So what Im really asking for, is if anybody out there does their own classes or has their own studio, is it really worth all the work and is pole dancing a great career to have? I feel like Im living this "fake" life 😢 Thanks again guys! 🌸 XxXxXxXxxXxXx

I'd say it's perfectly natural to feel you're living something "fake" if you're taking classes you aren't passionate about. I don't have a studio or anything, but I did think about teaching at the local one...I'm not really extroverted, though, so after taking (and failing) the Fitness trainer's class, I decided it wasn't for me. The knowledge I have from that continues to serve me, though, so I think it was worth it. So, my suggestion is to do some research. I'm a huge research kind of person...check into classes and things you can take for teaching fitness or dance, even if it's not pole specific. Find companies that you could, perhaps, franchise with (because, as far as I know, it's easier to franchise, rather than just pop up out of the blue) and maybe even check and see how much of a consumer base you would have in your area! I know for me, if I moved down-island I might have more of a chance, because there isn't an actual pole studio down there, but in my current town, there's already a studio, and there aren't that many women here that want to take it that haven't already. Also, if there are things you want to explore in college, I think you should do that, too! Check things out, you don't have to make a decision yet. There's lots of time between now and September, so take your time, get some information on your various interests and see how viable the options are. And I wish you luck! It sounds like there's a lot of potential for you 🙂
