Too many pole schools,not enough room

amberpoledancer started this discussion ยท

Hi every one i have recently opened up my own pole school in nov after working for years as a pole dancer in clubs and also learning and teaching for other pole schools. In my city there is loads and loads of pole schools. As a student through out the years i have been to most of them...some good...some bad. I started poling in 2005 and my goal was one day to be an instructor, even in the days when pole dancing wasnt as popular iv worked long and hard to learn as much as i can, get the right qualifications,get accredited, find locations,advertise,build a website ect ect. Any ways long story short i wanted to open a good school in a decent city centre location. I didn want to tread on any toes of the many pole schools around so i found a location which was prime but still far enough (when i say far i mean streets away...there are THAT many pole schools around in my city) Unfortunatly they are ALL territorial and pretty unfriendly to rival pole schools which is a shame. So imagine my horror when last night i leave class to see a popular and well established pole school has moved its premises from quite far away from me to RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM ME!!!! WTF??? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I felt angry and upset. I dont feel i can compete with them as that particular school has locations in all different cities and has been around for years their instructors are amongst the best in my country (uk). I feel my little pole school is gonna be crushed before its had a chance to grow. I now feel like giving up ๐Ÿ˜ข The reason i didnt open a school sooner is i didnt feel i was good enough and was happy just instructing for others. Now i feel that i perhaps should have stayed working for others I dont know. What do you all think? dont get me wrong im all for healthy competition but i think this is pushing it a bit far
