I mastered 3 new moves today. I don't know the names yet...Still need to look that up, but I did a handstand up next to the pole. What I think all of you pole gurus know is DETERMINATION!!! I told myself in today's practice that I'm going to do a handstand & on the first try I got it! I know there are boundaries...like you shouldn;t try things that you aren't ready for, but DETERMINATION is so powerful....Sorry girls...I'm still gleeming over getting a few new moves today!! IF ONLY I could get enough determination to post a video lol...

determination and persitance is the key!! It also helps to visualize yourself doing a move before trying it! Pole dancing takes a lot of physical strength but it really takes a lot of mental strength!! Great job on getting the handstand!!

It's so funny that I see this thread and that visualizing yourself doing a move was entioned because I do that all the time! I'm even doing it right now for the CAR, LOL. Determination is important, especially in pole because it's not easy. Many of us aren't going to get a move the first, second, 8th or 100th time we try a move and without determination we'd give up and there would be no polers. And what would the world be then? 😢

Just to add something to the comments about visualisation... When I was first learning I couldnt get the carousel as I was trying to put too much weight on the lower arm. When I was lying in bed later that night I was visualising what the move would feel like if I was doing it. Like imagining my upper arm taking all the weight and the lower arm just being used to push my body away from the pole. Next morning I got up and could do it first try. So I think visualisation really works!!
