Inspiration

One of the most beautiful things about dance is it allows you to express yourself in many different ways. I have never been able to really explain how I am feeling through words but for some reason pole always helps me let out every emotion. Recently Ellen Degeneres brought bullying to my attention. I have walked in their shoes. I was bullied relentlessly in school just for being scrawny and awkward. I can't imagine being bullied for something you live with your entire life such as sexual preference and who you choose to love. I have been inspired by this message to put together a routine that speaks to those who are being bullied.
People have been blaming the parents. Some say they need to be more involved with their children and explain to them that bullying can damage someones self worth. I feel the parents are who they are and probably were bullies themselves. The real strength and change needs to come from those being bullied.
Change comes when one stands up for what is right even if the risk of falling themselves is as stake. I am willing to take that chance and help the broken mend themselves and strengthen their spirits. All of us have our trials many of which come and go but if you have something that people view as incorrect or unacceptable it is time to take charge and see that life is beautiful. The trials will follow you but if you learn to see the beauty beyond it makes life worth living.
Suicide is never the answer as Ellen tells "Change will come and you should be alive to see it".
The routine will be ready to view within a few weeks. One thing with pole that you have to push through and endure is physical pain, pole burns, raw skin, metal to bone. My entire body is raw and in trauma because of the feelings I have for this subject. I am willing to push through the pain so others may do the same emotionally. I hope it helps those broken spirits but if not I hope it helps to inspire those who are strong to carry others when they are weak.

1st Competition 8 months postpardum :D

This competition was a great experience however, I don't believe I will be doing anymore pole competitions. I was very disappointed in some of the scandal I discovered after the competition was long over. I feel pole competitions are very bias and are not as professional as they should be. I had a blast doing it and the ladies all had great performances and worked so hard. It was a learning experience and I hope the best for all the competitors in future comps. My next step is fitness competitions with a pole routine. First one is in March 2010. Here we go!!!! :D
