there's a new girl at my club (when isn't there). she's never danced before (most girls who come there have or typically don't get hired easily).
she's not fat or "out of shape" but she's very "girl next door" soft, if that makes sense. she's a little chubby, but only in that "doesn't work out" kind of "girly" way.
she doesn't do the typical "new dancer" dances... but she DOES dance like she's just drunk at home infront of her mirror. she doesn't try to "look like a stripper" like some new ones do.. but rather does the standard drunk-girl dance you'd see a college girl do on a bar table after a few too many cocktails. she -does- have rhythm though.
all the girls bitched about it or pointed it out amongst themselves. like "that's not stripping" etc....
but you know what? customers seem to love it. most of us are seasoned vets there.. so i suppose she stands out as fresh. she looks like she's having fun instead of going through the motions, and as i mentioned before, she's managed to avoid looking totally akward by not "trying to hard" to "dance like a stripper" right off the bat.
she just gets up there, has fun, dances around and smiles a lot.
and i suddenly find myself wishing i could lose a little bit of my professionalism.
granted... there are quite a few customers who avoid her because she still stands out as new...
but i wish i could find a middle. like, still look professional/experienced without looking routine. does anyone have any tricks or ideas for doing that? how can i put a fresher spin on my stage shows? i mean, i get complimented plenty on my dancing and i've gotten good at it, but i wonder if i'm TOO good (i know that sounds bad). i know part of the reason she appeals to customers is because she seems more attainable. she seems like the friend or girl next door who's "letting lose". us old hacks look like unattainable bitches. heh
? anyone feel the same way ?
