    Duh stiff dancing! What's wrong with me ?! Frustrated newbie rant

    I can't clap my booty it's so irritating!!! My ass isn't that small I can do the side to side thing, the bouncy thing, but the girls in my club can make their cheeks clap without doing more than juggling their thighs. it seems so easy when explained but for some reason I can't figure out what joint or muscle to use to make my thighs move back n forth without my knees or ankles. I think I may have hurt myself trying. Everytime I try to do it now I feel like my joints need to be oiled where my thigh connects to my hip it's creaky and uncomfortable. Is this the wrong part to be using? I can get a total of one clap before I get stiff and lose it. The fucked up part I've always been pretty good at shaking my ass I'm not a pro but I've never felt like I couldn't dance until now. I took a few days off and have been home practicing all day everyday even in the shower or while I cook it's so frustrating. My club is urban so booty clapping is essential even the no ass girls do it and look bored like it's easy as tapping your foot, and since I lack any skills I've been blowing my money in house fees on the cheapest days and not making more than the house fee for the next slow night and can't afford a gown to get an audition at an upscale club .I'm getting worried about working the busy nights even if I had the money, because getting on stage as horrible as I am in front of a crowd they'd probably laugh me off or worse boo me..I've been laughed at once and I almost cried on stage. I don't feel sexy anymore in fact in wondering if all this time people raving over my dancing at parties were really secretly laughing at me. On top of that my lack of flexibility and being awkward and stiff with my floorwork makes me look like a lost soul on stage compared to the other girls they transition moves so well and always look sexy. Granted I've only worked 3 shifts but even practicing all the time at home watching YouTube until my eyes burn. I am not good at sexy I feel like Kirsten stewart on stage and I feel like everyone else feels that way too...I'm embarrassed to go back and still be unable to do this stuff. This may sound stereotypical but I'm black. I was captain of my high school dance team. Why the hell can't I dance?! Thanks for listening to my rant.

    *hugs* Stripping is a lot different than regular dancing and it takes some experience to get it down! I felt the same way as you do about the booty clapping I was like HOWWW are they doing that?!?! Eventually, you will learn how to do the booty clap and popping your butt cheeks and stuff, but at first, everyone looks a little awkward. Here are some tips that helped me learn how to booty clap:
    -Stand in front of the pole, or a table, or something to put your weight on, with your feet a little more than shoulder width apart.
    -Lean forward and put your weight on your hands
    -ARCH your back so your booty is sticking out
    -with your stripper heels on, stand on your tiptoes
    -focus on keeping your butt muscles relaxed
    -wear a thong, it doesn't work that well with clothes on
    -rotate your thighs in and out, start slow and try to get a rhythm going
    -don't move your heels too much (they should move a little, though) like you're Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz
    Keep practicing and one day you'll get it and be like WHY did it take me so long to figure that out!?!?
