Konke kwaqala ngenqaku lephephancwadi elimalunga neengenelo zomzimba zeeklasi zokudansa. Ndiza kucacisa ...

Emva kweminyaka yokubhexa ngokukhuphisanayo njengenxalenye yeklabhu yephenyane yangaphandle, ndaphawula ukuba kuya kuba nzima ukungena ephenyaneni. Ndaqala ukukhangela indlela yokubuyisela amandla kunye nokuhamba kwaye, emva kokufunda malunga nomdaniso we-pole, ndacinga ukuba kunokunceda-ubuncinci, kuya kwenza amava anomdla. Kwaye ke ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndijonge ukuthatha izifundo.

Ndimele ndikhankanye ukuba ndandineminyaka engama-69 ubudala, ndenza umdaniso wepali ukhetho olungalindelekanga. Okwangoku, ndafumana isitudiyo esibizwa ngokuba yiBody and Pole kwisiXeko saseNew York ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndithenge ipakethi yeeklasi ezintlanu. (Izinto eziNxulumeneyo: Izizathu ezisi-8 okufuneka uzame ukuFitnessa ngePole)

Ukubonisa iklasi yam yokuqala, ndoyika kancinci. Okokuqala, wonke umntu wayenamashumi amabini. (Oko ndineminyaka engama-70 ukusukela, kwaye nokuba akukho namnye kwisitudiyo owakhe wakhankanya umsantsa wobudala, ndiyayiqaphela.) Kodwa ndingene nje ndangena engqondweni "masenze le nto".

Ndandixhonyiwe kwasekuqaleni. Nditshise loo pakethi yeeklasi ezintlanu, emva koko ndathenga iipakethi ezimbini ezilishumi elinesihlanu, emva koko iphakheji yehlobo, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ndaba lilungu lesitudiyo. Kude kube kutshanje (ityala le-COVID-19), bendisiya kwiiklasi yonke imihla kunye neeklasi ezininzi ngeempelaveki. Andithathi nje kuphela izifundo zeepali kodwa ndithatha ezo zibandakanya isilika, iihupu, imisesane kunye neepopu kwaye ezijolise ekuguqulweni, ekungqungqeni nasekuguqukeni.

NgoDisemba, ndenza okokuqala ngqa njengenxalenye yomboniso. Njengomntu ongakhange achithe ixesha elininzi eqongeni (ndingummeli wearhente yokuthengiswa kwezindlu emva kwayo yonke loo nto), ukwenza yayingamava amatsha ngokupheleleyo kwaye ndandithanda yonke imizuzwana yayo. Ndikwazile ukubonisa indlela endiqhele ukuchitha iiyure ndizilolonga ngayo, bendinxibe isinxibo esihle, kwaye abaphulaphuli bebekhwaza igama lam. Mhlawumbi impendulo yabo yayingenxa yobudala bam, kodwa yayivakala imangalisa kungakhathaliseki. (Idibeneyo: Kutheni kufuneka uthathe iklasi yokuDanisa uPole)

Hayi ukuvakala i-cliché, kodwa iiklasi zitshintshile ingqondo nomzimba wam. Kwisithuba seenyanga ezimbalwa, ndakha amandla kunye nozinzo ukuya kuthi ga ngoku ukuba ngoku ndinokukhwela ipali kwaye ndenze i-headstand. Iiklasi zindenze ndakhululeka ngakumbi ukuhambisa umzimba wam ngeendlela ezintsha, ngakumbi kuba bendinamava omdaniso xa ndandiqala.

Kwaye ke kukho izibonelelo zengqondo. Njengearhente yokuthengiswa kwezindlu, isiqinisekiso sakho ibalulekile xa usenza intetho kwaye uzama ukuthengisa indlu. Enkosi ngomdaniso we pole, ndiye ndakwazi ukukhulisa ukuzithemba kwam, nto leyo eye yandinceda kwi-real estate naseklasini. Ngoku ndiziva ndikhuselekile ngakumbi xa ndithetha phambi kwabantu kwaye ndikwazi ukusebenza nangalo naluphi na uloyiko lokwaliwa, nokuba kungoku xa ndizama ukuthengisa indlu okanye xa ndinyuka epalini.

Ndikuthandile ukuba lilungu leqela elitsha (ukongeza kwiklabhu yam yenqanawa yamaphenyane, ewe). Ukutyhubela iminyaka, ndiye ndafunda ukuba uyakufumana iklabhu yokuhamba ngephenyane kufutshane nakweyiphi na indawo yamanzi kwaye, ngaphezulu koko, baya konwaba ngakumbi ukuba ungahamba ngephenyane labo. Ndiye ndabhexa kugqatso lwehlabathi ngenxa yokudibana nabantu ndaza ndaqalisa ubuhlobo. Kukho inkcubeko efanayo kubugcisa bobuchwephesha. Wonke umntu ukhulisa kwaye wamkela, kwaye ukuba ufuna ukuba yinxalenye yeli hlabathi, bayakumema ngezandla ezishushu. (Idibeneyo: J. Lo Kwabiwe emva kweNdawo yeVidiyo ebonisa indlela aMastered ngayo iiPole Dancing ze "Hustlers")

Kubantu be nayiphi na ubudala ngubani, ngathi 69-ubudala-me, banomdla malunga iiklasi pole umdaniso: Andikwazi ukucebisa kubo ngokwaneleyo. Ayizukukuguqula ngokwasemzimbeni kuphela, kodwa iya kukonyusa nokuzithemba kwakho, ikunike amathuba ongenakuba nenye indlela, kwaye wenze ulonwabo.
