<![CDATA[G-Force Pole and Aerials - POLE & AERIAL CLASSES ON THE CENTRAL COAST - Blog]]>Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:31:48 +1000Weebly<![CDATA[AM I STRONG YET?]]>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 08:22:34 GMThttps://www.gforcepoleandaerials.com.au/blog/am-i-strong-yetWho here started pole dancing and instantly felt intimidated? Who joined their first aerials class and left feeling deflated because they’d never join the circus? Me! *raises both hands aggressively*.
 
Next question: who feels ‘stalled’ and can’t see any progress? Who goes home and thinks “why aren’t I strong enough – I’ve been doing this for so long!”? I see you there with your hands still raised, and I’m going to ask you to put those arms down straight away, it’s time to change that mindset!
 
No matter how long you have been on your pole and aerials journey I want you to think back to before you started… What was your skillset the day prior to that first dance class? Easy answer – NOTHING! And so with every single lesson we progress! We may plateau – but we never regress (unless you quit entirely and sit inside all day and are allergic to fun!).
 
Building strength takes consistency and patience. Our muscles work so hard for our bodies! So please be patient with yourself and you’ll get that move! Because you are STRONG and you grow STRONG each and every day.

When I was thinking about what to write for our first blog, it was a simple choice! What do I do best? PERFORM! What incredible end of year event is coming up? SHOWCASE! So here are my tips and tricks on how to leave your heart out on that stage and put on your best show!!

Practice Practice Practice!
  • Attend as many classes as possible in the lead up to your performance so that you are feeling super confident with the routine
  • Play your music on repeat (I do this while driving around the Coast) until you know it by heart - know your timing and your queues!
  • Practice in class as if you're performing! Smile, wink, be sharp, point your toes, show sass/attitude/emotion.
  • Stretch! Not only do beautiful extended lines look more appealing when you perform, looking after your body is so important when you're training repetitively. So please ensure you warm up, cool down, and utilise our additional conditioning classes in the lead up! (Reminder, recordings of these are available via zoom!)

On the night...
  • Look Good, Feel Good, Perform Good! Pop on your tan (or not, you do you boo!), get our hair done, put on your makeup and false lashes (I know a gal).
  • Make sure your costume is clean, no tears, and wrinkle free!

It's SHOWTIME!
  • No matter what happens, stay in the performance. From the moment you walk out, until the moment you walk off, you are performing. Holding a pose? Hold the Sh*t out of it! Flaffing about for 8 counts? Make it the best flaff of your life! BE OTT!
  • Don't rush!!! It's common to get caught up with the adrenaline of the performance. Remember to listen to the music for your queues, and take your time!
  • Connect with the audience! Don't look at the floor, keep your eyes up! Recognise the opportunities you have to interact with those watching you to really enhance your performance.
  • Breathe, dance for YOU, and have fun!

Well, that's all from me! I hope you've been able to take something away whether it be little or small, and I can't wait to see you all shine bright come December!

All my love, Jaymee (SHOWTIME QUEEN!)]]>
