    I think i'm gonna set a 10 lb goal.
    He he.

    Strength day

    First jog in place five minutes or jumping jacks (vets those would be the side straddle hop)

    kick starts the blood flow.

    neck rolls three right , three left.
    shoulder rolls, three right, three left.
    Hip rolls (like a hoola hoop) three right, three left.
    knee and ankle rolls (important place your hands on your thighs and not your knees so tendons are fee to move) three right, three left.

    This lubricates the joints.

    Stretch.

    Long stretch. just like getting up in the morning, feet flat reach for the sky, hold ten seconds.

    Arm and should stretch. Right arm held straight across the body, pull gently with your left hand to your chest. hold for 15 seconds, then switch and do the same but with the left arm.

    Shoulder stretch. Raise your right arm into the air, place your palm behind your neck and as between the should blades as you can. Grasp you righ elbow with your left hand and gently pull your right elbow behind your head, keeping the right hand between the shoulder blades. Hold for 15 seconds. Switch now to the left arm. Do this twice.

    hamstring. Standing feet shoulder width apart. Lock your knees, bend slowly from the waist and reach down as far as you can. Go slowly, do not bounce, and if you knees are not locked the stretch is working as well as it should. Keep your head up or your could get dizzy or faint. (happens) Hold for 15 seconds. Then slowly bend the knees and straighten up, count ten seconds and repeat.

    Standing hurdler stretch.
    Standing feet together. At shoulder height point you left arm straight out. Raise your right foot off the ground behind you. Grasp the right ankle in the right hand and gently pull your right heel to your right butt cheek. You should feel the stretch in the quadriceps (front of the thigh). hold for 15 seconds. Switch, right arm out left hand left leg.

    Calf stretch
    Feet and knees together. hands on the hips. Take a long step 45 degrees (diagonall) to your right. The left leg should be fully extended with the knee locked, and the left foot flat on the ground. you should feel the stretch in the calf. Hold 15 seconds then switch.

    Push ups,

    Five feet and knees together, back straight, chin up looking forward.

    Hands shoulder width apart, lower yourself until your biceps/ triceps are paralell to the ground. example shoulders are lowered below the elbows.

    on your knees shake that out, keep the muscles loose.

    Time for pyramids!

    get out a mat or do this on grass so we don't injure a tailbone.

    two pushups, then immediately two crunches. Arms crossed infront of your chest.
    three pushups, three crunches.
    four pushups, four crunches.
    five pushups, five crunches.
    four pushups, four crunches.
    three push ups, three crunches.
    two push ups, two crunches.

    (as you get stronger you will be able to do more up to twenty and back down was common when I was a Joe.)

    Finished that? Arms feel like rubber? Ha!

    Lunges!

    Feet together, arms straight out like your flying.
    Step with a long step starting with your left. Then dip until your night knee gently touches the ground. The rise and bring your right foot back together with your left. Now feet together step off with the right, dip the left until the knee gently touches. Alternate ten forward and ten back. you will feel it in the back of your thighs and butt.

    Repeat the stretches then hit the shower. Time between 25-40 minutes depending upon intensity.

    I think you are right though about how i need to go into my auditions... i need to maybe look more high end... i'll throw on something a little nicer when i go back to audition. Maybe black pencil pants and a sexy silk shirt or something. I've been dressing really young when i go into my auditions.

    and i'm gonna take that diet advice, tank you
    I didn't mean to say you do not sound intelligent, you don't. You don't type with a ghetto slang style, so I am going to believe you don't regularly speak that way either. My suggestion wasn't about sounding intelligent it was about sounding educated and with culture. Education doesn't mean intelligence. I have met many idiots with degrees. This is about sounding like the education didn't just go in one ear and out the other. This is part of the package to be high end. Guys that go to high end clubs aren't there to mingle women with women from ordinary walks of life. They are there to mingle with the extraordinary women.

    This is about getting in the high end club, and staying in the high end club.

    Approach your auditions like you already have the job and are ready to go to work. Blouse, skirt, heels, makeup, minimal jewelry. Hair done, nails done, legs waxed or shaved, pubic trimmed, shaved waxed as you feel comfortable with.

    Clutch bag for your tips, and little stuff like touch up makeup, and tissue. Dance bag with outfit changes, baby wipes etc. Pad lock for the locker, and a lockable makeup box (tool boxes from the hardware store are ideal. All possible.

    Good luck.

    I don't understand how you wouldn't get hired anywhere. But then again, I've only worked in MD. I currently work at what I believe to be one of the most upscale clubs in Bmore (perhaps I'm wrong), and you'd def get hired there. You'd get hired at any of the clubs I've worked at, actually. Dunno about Hustler cuz I haven't seen their girls, but the only other "upscale" club I know of is Scores, and from what I've seen of some girls who've worked there in the past, you'd def get hired there, too.

    You've got a cute face, naturally, and even better, it looks like an HONEST face...something good for sales. I do agree w/people about getting rid of the braids, tho.

    You could stand to tone up a little, but I think that your appearance in the first pic also has to do with the way you're standing. Sticking your butt out in back more and your chest out in front more can make your waist look longer and give you an overall more curvier appearance.

    i kno i gained a lil wieght... but delilahs didn't even see me with my clothes off....

    i have a lil stomach... and love handles... but i can work on that....

    do u think that is why i'm not gettin hired??... or is it just my face (which i can't change) so i should not audition there anymore...

    i mean, i've gone to 4 clubs and not gotten a call back... i feel like there has to be something going on with me...
    If you want me to be very honest with you the thing I am seeing, and its NOT fair, is that with the downturn in the economy there are more women looking to pick up work as dancers all of a sudden. This is allowing clubs to be more picky AND [this is where it gets unfair] it is hurting minority dancers worse than anyone else.

    This is especially true around urban areas where minority dancers make up more of the pool, thus there is more head to head competition for open spots.

    Unless a club is decidedly "urban", which DD's certainly isn't, management has only X number of spots for minority dancers.

    I can understand why they do this because they want to maintain a specific ratio of different types of women because they feel, and they may be right about it, it better attracts customers. But when you have 100 dancers competing for 90 open non-minority spots suddenly become 120, and 30 minority dancers competing for 10 open dancers spots for minority dancers suddenly become 45 that impacts the minority dancers harder.

    Its always been harder for women of color to get dancer spots in higher end clubs. Like I said, its not fair but it has to do with what the club owners believe bring the customers into the clubs.

    So with the economy stinking the way it is, and more women coming into the ranks it is going to be harder for all dancers, which means women of color get an even shittier end of the stick than usual.

    Bottom line is: Don't take it personally as it likely has very little to do with you.

    You have a very pretty face and a decent figure. You are a very attractive woman.

    My advise to you is to travel a bit OUTSIDE the urban area of Philly to where the fact that you are a woman of color makes you unique and not just another Black dancer auditioning for a spot. Hit the clubs in Bucks County. Come up into Allentown. Try some of the clubs in and around Warren and Somerset counties in Jersey.

    The money is less than the high end clubs in Philly but it is work to hold you over until times get better. In the mean time you keep working on getting a spot in a higher end club.

    If you need help PM me and I'll pass what info I have to you.

    BTW, while we are on the subject, is it needed to point out the obvious: That it is just possible that if you are willing to judge the worth of someone simply by what you read on a website about them it might say a whole hell of a lot more about you than it says about the person you are judging?

    Yeah, I hear ya.

    Like I said, there are clubs up in the areas I mentioned where you can pull $200/night, maybe $300 on a weekend, and with a four or five day week make your thousand.

    It isn't fantastic but it will tide you over while you work on catching on in a club with bigger money.

    Like I said, if you want club names, etc, PM me.

    I wish you all the best.

    You have a really cute face, just get in to that gym and concentrate on the cardio, that's the best thing for you to do.

    Don't fuck with weights, go for the treadmill, the stair machine, the bikes, etc.
