Spin Nightmare

So, last week was my first class and the Betty spin she taught us wasn't terribly difficult to pull off. I was like "wheeeee I can sort of do this!" And was so excited. This week's class, however, introduced the chair spin. Talk about frustrating! The other girls were spinning like crazy but me, oh no, I was the wimp. Turns out I have horrid upper body strength (which I sort of already knew), and did a pitiful mimic of chair. I mean pitiful. As in, my feet left the floor for half second increments. Of course the instructor was like "You're doing great!" And I wanted to reply "you're a very enthusiastic liar!" Yikes! How discouraging! Plus the class is only an hour so there's not a ton of time to really thoroughly break down and perfect tricks. Gah! I can't wait to get my own pole! I'm so annoyed and want to work, work, work til I get it. Sigh. The instructor told me that usually by the fourth class, everyone is a rock star. I don't see how I could have the chair spin nailed in four classes' time, but hey, she's the instructor. Can anyone offer me hope in this? How long did it take you to get basic spins down? My arms are sore, in a good way, but kill. Yikes.
