@poledance 💅MOTIVATION MONDAY: When I first started posting my pole dance videos regularly, someone I had hardly spoken to since high school commented something along the lines of “yikes, this isn’t very graceful. Kinda cringe tbh.” Normally I’m pretty good with criticism (if it’s constructive) but there was nothing really constructive about that comment and since I was just starting out, it really got to me. A few years later I’m here to say that dancing does not need to be graceful. It does not need to be slow, graceful, demure, coquettish, or pretty. It can be loud. chaotic. Insane. Yearning. Deep. Intense. Dramatic. That’s the kind of dancer I am. Moreover, I’m also here to say the only standards you need to meet are yours and no one else’s. I’m not graceful, I’m powerful, and that’s just as valid.

@poledance‼️‼️MOTIVATION MONDAY: This might be a hot take, I’m not sure. But I’ll always advocate for being a lifelong learner. No one - and I mean ABSOLUTELY no one - knows *everything there is to know about dance or pole dancing*. Learning new things is important and tbh I really don’t trust any poler - no matter how long they’ve been dancing for or how advanced they are - that isn’t continually learning and trying new things. That’s red flag city! In addition, fuck ups are important. Screw ups and mistakes are valid reflections of our learning. POST THEM! Everyone makes mistakes; if you don’t, you aren’t truly learning! What are your thoughts on this?

@poledance MOTIVATION MONDAY: Your Journey, Your Progress

You cannot compare your pole journey to anyone else’s. Some dancers have years of ballet, gymnastics, or martial arts behind them or maybe even made a career/college major out of movement—but that doesn’t make your progress any less valid.

When I started, I couldn’t even tilt my body for a cradle. Now look at me! I used to compare myself to lifelong athletes when I hadn’t done anything active since I was 17 and I entered pole at 26. But I kept going, and so will you.

Be kind to yourself. Keep growing. Your journey is yours. 💜✨

@poledance 🎉🎉MOTIVATION MONDAY: and here it is, one step closer to being a featured soloist performer on a big stage!!! I’ve only been performing on the show circuit for a little over a year, so this opportunity means so so so much to me! I’m seriously so excited for this pole cleaning solo performance spot with @bad2thechrome and I can’t wait for this trip (see what I did there?). Tampa, here I come!

@poledance 💪💪MOTIVATION MONDAY: Although I won’t be able to join @originalsinshow on stage, this is probably the most positive feedback from a rejection I’ve ever gotten!! Super happy with the feedback received and can’t wait to take my Shakespeare fangirl feminist concept to @polesportorg this May.

Don’t look back, keep moving forward, and keep shining, no matter the storm you may endure. It’s worth it! I’ll be performing at Original Sins one day <3

@poledance🐾🐾MOTIVATION MONDAY: So one goal I have on this account is to not only show off my [tooting my own horn] majestic pole skills, but also get to know other performers, producers, and fans outside of the pole world as well! One thing that motivates me more than anything are my fur babies - my kitties! Here’s a profile of my oldest (and largest) cat. She’s my little girl and I love her more than I can say <3 do you have pets? Are they similar or different to this big drama queen? lmao

@poledance😕😕MOTIVATION MONDAY: We all f*@$ up. It's something we do as humans. But this video reminds me to get back up, no matter how many times I fall. During this choreo with Lala I did something really silly and let go of the pole in a pirouette (total rookie movie!) and fell straight backwards. But what I did next was get up again and back into the dance like nothing happened. Of course Lala stopped the music to check on me, but tbh I was ready to just go back in and keep on moving. This is my (and yours now too) reminder to get the f*@$ back up no matter how many times, or how hard, we fall. Get the f*@$ back up. #dancer #poledancer #poledancers #poledancing #poledance #motivationmonday #motivation #monday #pdpirouette #pirouette #mistakes #mistake #fall #falls #choreo #choreography #pdchoreography #pdfall #pdfalls #foryourpage #fypage #fyp #foryoupage #poledancersofinstagram #poledancersofinsta #poledancersofig #falling #dancemistakes #pdmistake

@poledance✨🤘🫶MOTIVATION MONDAY: I know, I’m guilty of this too: complaining and feeling the frustration within the pole dance and performative industry. It can totally feel like you’re an outsider while the same 20 elite polers are cast in every major show (IYKYK), but don’t let those negative feelings become your entire persona. Learn how to balance those feelings of frustration and a growth mindset, whilst also staying away from toxic positivity. New blog post out at www.violettevixen.com! Read on!
