Possibly Interested in Dancing
I'm interested into dancing in my area (RI) but have a somewhat long-term concern. I am studying to become a high school teacher -- could dancing hurt my chances at getting a job teaching later in life? Could I keep the fact that I dance under wraps?
Looking into dancing for monetary reasons. Really would love any insight into my question - this site is awesome, by the way!...
Re: Possibly Interested in Dancing
i was a teacher for a few years. i did BDSM shows before teaching and some while still teaching, but i kept it all on the DL. i started dancing afterwards while i go back to school full time. it CAN be a reason for you not to get hired. you certainly can not work for the school district AND strip unless they don't know about it. when you sign all the paperwork there's generaly a "conflict of interest" section in the contract. it goes over how they have the right to fire you if you do anything generaly perceived as not acceptable. chances are that you can keep it hidden, but know that it COULD be an issue.
Re: Possibly Interested in Dancing
Thank you for the information. I'd prolly be teaching further south than where I'm up at school, so could that better my chances of keeping it on the DL?
Re: Possibly Interested in Dancing
well, moving always helps, but not if anything that happens winds up on your record. you'll need to be very carefull to stay under the radar. work at clean clubs and etc. a lot of INNOCENT girls have been arrested. also, why the hell would you teach in the south? the pay is SO much better up north. all the young teachers here wind up stripping. :P
Re: Possibly Interested in Dancing
Haha, no worries - south of RI but still in the North East ;)

Haha : )
So basically, so long as I am careful, I could dance without it potentially harming my future?
Re: Possibly Interested in Dancing
i think penny said that it would potentially harm you, it's a risk. you are taking that risk, but if you keep it under raps, you probably will be fine. i coach, and, while it's NOT a teaching job, it's similar. i could most definitely be fired for my job stripping. so, take the risk, but be smart, work ONLY clean clubs, and DONT take photos with ANYONE.
