    Dizzy Phoenix

    I will have to agree with what someone once said on here, the transition from waitress to dancer is about two weeks. I was on here before asking questions about dancing and ended up being a waitress at a Jaguars in Odessa, TX. When I first started there a 'head' waitress I guess you say was pretty rude to me. After a couple hours she saw I actually had a work ethic and became a friend of mine (While I was there). The third day management hired a bunch of waitresses and it was reallll annoying to watch them do nothing while I busted my behind cleaning, then jump up when the manager walked in the room. Not to mention the chick who stole a $100 tip from me, yes, a $100 tip. And then when I went up to her and respectfully confronted her about it she wrote me off to another waitress who then passed the blame back to her. Stupid chicks for real. Anyways, I left that po dunk town (which was not my city anyways) and am now in Phoenix. I have been looking into some clubs around here and am giving serious thought to dancing. Problems are: One of my legs is 1 1/2 inches shorter than the other and causes me pain. I was actually on pain medication for 2 years before I quit just because I am probably the most stubborn person you've ever met and refuse to be controlled by anyone or anything. I deal with the pain. Whats a lil physical pain anyways??? I'm so stubborn in fact I had a guy make it rain about $50 (while I was waitressing) on me and I thought it was disrespectful and wouldn't pick it up. (Guess I'll have to be getting over that huh?!) The height discrepancy makes me a little clumsy as well, but then again, I'll just have to deal. I never danced in public before. I have PTSD and anxiety disorder which I refuse to take medication for either. I don't feel that mental conditions are so much something that needs to be gotten rid of, it's something that we acquire from a hard knock life. I hate men too. Lol! I'm in the right field huh? (Sarcasm) Not that I am a lesbian, although I do think I might be BI, I actually have a husband, but I have seen my mother with many absolutely EVIL men (the one she is with now takes the cake) and know how disgusting they are. Us women can be equally repulsing though as well at times.
    ANYWAYS... I have been researching a couple clubs around here and believe I may of found the one I would like to dance at. I would like to hear from any women that dance who felt similar to me in the beginning, possibly some with social anxiety/anxiety disorders. Also, I believe I might like to use my native american heritage as a sort of persona dancing (I have Cherokee, Lumbee, Sioux blood.) Does anyone have any suggestions for some cute native american-ish names? I would love to hear stories, or suggestions to clubs around Phoenix.

    ALSO: Forgot to add, I have the worst and weakest knees in the world. They sound like a bowl of rice krispies every time I kneel down at all. Do you girls have any strengthening tips?
    Thanks!

    Exercise your quadriceps. They will help hold everything in place. I sustained a knee injury when I was about 10 and ended up having to do physical therapy for it for three years. Get some ankle strap weights (easily Google-able) and do leg lifts while you watch tv. It helps.

    I personally think PTSD and anxiety are a cocktail for disaster with dancing considering to situations you'll be put in, but I suppose it depends on the severity of them.

    You'll never know if it's for you or not until you try. You will definitely have to lower your expectations for getting respect from guys or you will be missing out on a lot of money. And then, really, who does win? Because now he's put you down AND he still has his money. Everybody has their personal line of what they will and will not accept. As for the name thing, I am partial to just normal, common sounding names that are 2 syllables or less and easy to pronounce. You're gonna be saying your name over and over and over again with loud music, and it's going to drive you crazy having to clarify what you even said. Nicole or Ashley or Jessica or Kim or Alex are easy to understand but when you go with Cherokee, Lumbee, or Sioux Blood you're going to want to punch yourself in the face cause youre gonna be sounding it out all night to others. Also a lot of people might make fun of you....sorry.
    And this job is REALLY hard on your knees. That's like the #1 new girl complaint is how bad her knees hurt....just sayin.
    I wish you luck though on your endeavor!!
    By the way, what club did you choose?

    ^^ Cherokee, Lumbee and Sioux Blood aren't names she's considering. She's saying she has Cherokee, Lumbee and Sioux heritage, aka she is mixed Native American.

    OHHH sorry! Bad reading comprehension on my part! Anyways, lol I do still suggest that you pick a name tht is easy to understand and fairly common. "typical stripper names" work well too, in my opinion. I.e., autumn, sugar, candy, precious, bella, cherry etc...
