New Level Jitters

Autumn Sky started this discussion · 11/11/2013

So tonight I start a new level at the studio I attend. They have level 1-7. Level 1-6 each has a set curriculum to learn, level 7 is the last level in which you stay in. After 20 months, I have made it to level 7, but am feeling super nervous. Some girls have been in there for 3-5 years and are way more advanced than I. I know I should not compare myself to others and I do realize they have been at it way longer than me, but I am still super nervous. I tell myself just to enjoy and I know the instructor will not have me doing anything I am not capable of, I guess I am writing this to convince myself that all will be fine. Thanks, I feel better already! Sort of:)

I will be there to give you support! Trust me, when I walked in for the first time after not having been at that studio for all of my training it was nerve racking! I am still behind on many things due to my just getting to this studio so we can be newbies together! BTW, I cannot do a lot of things on both sides, cannot aerial shoulder mount, cannot handspring, etc etc etc. I will say though that I have seen huge differences in what I CAN do and what I have allowed myself to try. Circus climbs are still a bitch and probably always will be!

Y'all are making me miss Aradia! ;-) It was the first place I ever took pole. Give Heather a big hug from Terri in California! When I went there they didn't even have levels. ..now I'd probably be around 3 or 4, LOL...that's what 3 years of on-again-off-again lessons will do to you!
