Skirt The Issue
Have you ever had a problem you simply couldn’t bear to face today? Or maybe even tomorrow? Just the thought of accepting that the problem exists makes you shudder and shake?
Don’t beat yourself up because you aren’t dealing with it right this second. Skirt the issue until you are ready to resolve it. And I don’t mean ignore it completely!
Tonight, wear a soft skirt and give yourself permission to dance around your problem (and your pole). Ignore the problem (and your pole) when you want to. Or shake it when you need to. Climb it. Kick it. Twirl around and around it. Float toward it as if some force of gravity is pulling you and then exert your own luscious forces and float away.
Notice how your movements effect you body and your skirt. The skirt changes shape, swirls and twirls around you hips, rides up and down your body and you flip and slide. Feel how the problem effects you, changes you, gives you goosebumps as your movements cause the skirt to tickle your legs.
There’s no need to run from your problems. Instead, learn to play with your pole (*wink*) and your problem. Accept that it exists and that you don’t have all the answers but perhaps there is something wonderful that you will create by searching for them. While you skirt the issue, your mind can relax and develop new ideas, new solutions.
Find the joy in pole dancing through life, letting the trials and tribulations of your journey tickle your legs and swirl around you. Maybe they will show you that enjoying the life (and sometimes even the problems) that you have is so much better than just giving up.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour
—William Blake

This is seriously some of the best pole dancing I’ve ever seen you do (been watching your videos, girly). Amazing! I was trying to go to bed last night but clicked ‘play’ on your video and was literally mesmerized and forced to watch the whole thing because it was so beautiful. 🙂

Hi, your blog kicks major ass! I am an American who teaches tango in Rome Italy and I use various techniques and visualizing and breathing exercises to bring out the sensuality in my students. I think that I shall refer then to your blog as well. Come to Rome and take a tango lesson from me sometime. You would have agreat time. Here is my latest tango video. Maybe you could insert it into you blog. Thanks
