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!
