Hi! I live in Mount Pleasant, SC. I got my pole about 4 months ago, and have been practicing at home, but I haven't taken any lessons. How do you like Goddess? My friend and I thought about taking some classes, but they won't let us start at a higher level. We already know how to do some things like a CAR, butterfly, bow and arrow, and some other beginner/intermediate tricks and a lot of spins. Do you know if they will move us up quickly if we know how to do things?
Maybe we can all get together sometime with Angygirl too for some pole practice! My friend and I have been wishing we had more friends that were into poling! 😀
Goddess is alright, I've never experienced anywhere else. I dont like how they've changed the schedule around - which is why I can only make it 1x a week instead of two times, so I end up making up classes I miss. When I started, it was 101 level, 201 level, and all-star level. They've changed it to L1-L5 now. I'm a L4, which is still advanced, just not "been-there-2+-years-advanced". My friend and I WERE hanging with the people who'd been there that long though in the original all-star class!
I had to spend a minimum of two sessions in the 101 level, and spent three sessions in the 201 level - each session was 8 weeks long. Now they're 6 weeks long and different 'level ratings'. As far as I know they wont let someone skip levels, you have to go through all of them to make your way up. If you show capabilities you'll probably move up pretty quickly. I think L3 is the one people stay in the longest now, its sort of in between intermediate and advanced. Having a pole at home definitely helped me move up as quickly as I did - it only took 9 months to become an "All-star".
That would be fun to all get together and do some pole! 🙂
