...that I started at a new-ish club, kinda, and had a positive experience. Well, I worked there before but only for a few shifts. Anyway...usually, when I start at a new club, they sort of assume I'm brand spankin' new to dancing and give me the evil eye, and/or talk shit JUST loud enough so I can hear it.
This time, the girls seemed to welcome me with open arms, asking me if I had a good night, complimenting my hair and outfits, inviting me to join conversations, etc.
I was also very surprised at this little crowd of newbs that seemed to want to pick my brain or have me help them on the pole. I said, "no, no, no! there are SO many girls here better on the pole than me." and they raved about how awesome I look on stage.
.....This sounds conceded, doesn't it? The point is, it was a surprise because I usually don't fit into the stripper crowd very well. I've always felt like an outcast, or like I was different from all of the other girls---just not very stripper-ish. Even though I've been doing it for a couple of years, I just recently started taking it seriously.
I'm kind of bewildered that I'm getting compliments and acceptance from very experienced dancers. Should I see this as a milestone in my dancing career? Or should I continue to be extremely weary and not trusting because the whole thing seems kinda weird?
