    Going Back to Dancing...

    hey everyone... i haven't posted in so long. i'm going back to dancing nude after a 6 month hiatus. this is the longest i have been away from dancing. i took 3 months off before and had a really hard time returning. i was really sore for the first couple of weeks and had a lot of anxiety last time. it felt like i was doing it for the first time all over again. i'm really nervous about going back, but i have to... i was wondering if anyone has any advice to make the transition easier for me. thanks a lot.

    I started again in May, after a 2 year break. I read a lot of SW, started exercising more and practicing in the shoes again. I still get a little anxious. I feel like I'm still working out a lot of kinks-nails, makeup, getting the body to work like I want it to. I think lack of preparedness makes it worse. Not sure how helpful this is, but there's lots of us new- and sortanew-bies.

    I took almost a year off once... I was terrified to go back! I picked a friendly club and worked dayshifts for a long time (well, I still do sometimes). Just remind yourself that you'll get past that hump.

    I took nine months off at one point. My legs and back were soooo sore, but I found that it only took two weeks to get back in physical shape. It comes back a lot quicker too, the second time around. After all, you're not a total newbie like you were the first time.

    I did find myself wondering my first two nights back if I had made the right decision, because it wasn't as much fun as I'd remembered it, and they were the lowest $$$$ nights I had ever had in my dancing career. Come to find out, I just had to get psychologically used to it again as much as physically, which wasn't hard, and my hustle was rusty. Just remember that you will bounce back QUICKLY since you've done this before. You will. Give it two weeks. And it's okay to be nervous all over again until your inner goddess fully comes back out of its cocoon. Good luck.

    I've been off for almost three years - I think I'm going back into it in about a month.

    Really scared though. Think its the 25lb post-dancing weight gain. I mean, I'm 135 and 5'9" - you think I'd be ok. But I just feel flabby.

    thank you all for sharing your experiences and advice... i'm going back this weekend. i'll keep everyone posted on how i make out. it seems silly being so nervous since i have danced hundreds of times before... i'm worried the most how i'm going to handle things psychologically.. and i'm a bit self concious of the 15lbs or so i put on since i stopped. good luck to the other ladies that are going back to the pole... let me know how you make out. xoxo.

    Eek...I have to return to work too - most likely next week. My thighs and tummy are definitely not the same as they once were. Hopefully they will return to pre-preggo size after I work the pole for a couple weeks. I'm actually a little nervous too. Not sure why though.
