It's normal for us to feel like being stuck in a rut. You may experience doing intense training and workout, going to pole dancing studios in Singapore and noticing very little to no progress at all. However, we may not notice that we are actually making errors that kill progress. Here are some common mistakes that are progress killers.
Comparing yourself to other 'better' pole dancers
Do you have a habit of constantly comparing yourself to other pole dancers? It's easy for us to see better dancers than us whenever we attend pole dancing classes. If you are like this, then it's the best way to kill your progress and, worse, stop you from dancing. Always remember that those jaw-dropping pole performances you see have taken many attempts to get it right. Those professionals have also been a beginner where you are when they are starting. Always remember to focus on yourself and your pole dancing goals.
Skipping the fundamentals or 'leapfrogging.
Skipping essential fundamentals and techniques is one of the best ways to kill your progress as well as your motivation. When learning pole dancing, it is advised to learn and master the fundamentals in a structured manner instead of skipping. Your movements will work smoothly once you nail the basic pole movements as you gradually progress to more advanced moves. Hence why many pole dance studios in Singapore have their lessons well-structured to avoid these problems.
Attempting to perform highly advanced techniques and movements
Many are tempted to do highly advanced techniques when learning pole dancing in Singapore online since no personal instructor can keep you from doing it. If you miss pre-requisite steps and attempt something more advanced than you have seen, you will not have the required body to perform it more often than not. When your body is not well trained to perform the advanced technique, and pole manoeuvres can even result in injuries, the worst thing could happen.
Overtraining and overworking
When we overtrain our bodies, we become worn out and tired. Tiredness widely boosts your risk of injury when practising post dancing. Even if you do take care not to injure yourself, your tired muscles won't have time to recoup, so you'll reach a plateau in your progress, and, in some cases, you could also experience regression.
