So, a bit of a strange, embarrassing issue: I have really bad knees. I mean like they crack like fireworks going up and down stairs, crouching/kneeling down.. so you can imagine how they sound when I'm kneeling down with an extra 6"-7" to go.
Anyone else have this? I anticipate starting dancing at the end of this week or next and I don't really know what to do about it. It'd be distracting to everyone else if anything. I am doing knee-strengthening exercises as well as toning and building my legs which should help with overall support, but is there any way I can go about masking the awful sound they make? Hopefully the noise will be loud enough to cover but jeez.. it's bad.
Perhaps I just needed to project my concern into the universe but any suggestions/sympathetic whinings are welcome.![]()

) & went w/ thicker heels -- noticeably better joint support.

Nobody has really mentioned it much at work. The music is usually pretty loud. If they seem to notice, I just say that I've been dancing for two years, and that' like 57 in stripper knee years. To combat further damage to my knees, I am a supremely lazy stripper. My stages are a snooze. I am very, very sure to raise and lower keeping my knees aligned over my toes. If shit is slow, I will sit down in a nice comfy chair and prop my feet up. Don't spend too much time on your knees on stage, as it will inflame your knee bursae like a bitch.
