How to Prepare Mentally
It might be tempting to focus on how the class might be physically challenging. But, it can also be challenging mentally. There will be times where you’ll find yourself feeling frustrated. This stems from not being able to “perfect” a move. It’s important to remember: this happens to everyone. Perseverance is key to learning a new skill. This works in the exact same way for Pole Dance.
Embrace the Experience
