Hi all,
I need to earn some serious(ish) cash over the next 6 months and thought dancing might be a good way to do it. I've considered it before but this is the first time I've really sat down and thought about it seriously. I have no issue with taking my clothes off in this environment, the outfits don't bother me (and actually are more than what a lot of girls wear to the beach!).
However...
My problem is with myself. I am very shy/timid and lack confidence. I was bullied at 10yrs old at school for winning a dance competition... And never danced since (it eventually got to the point after 10yrs or so that I didn't know where to start, so just avoided it altogether). So the dance floor is alien to me. However, I know I have good rhythm, as I am now a musicianI'm also very shy when it comes to small talk/conversation, not sure how far that would get me!
I guess what I want to know is, can these things mean the death of my new 'career' before it even starts?! Some positives here are that I know I have a nice natural figure (petite and well-proportioned), I have always received compliments in that respect. I've also never had a problem finding a date/boyfriend, apparently a lot of guys like the shy/quiet/sweet type of girl. I've found an awesome pole dance & lap dance studio nearby that offer lessons for everything I'd need on-stage. There's also workshops etc. out there for addressing self-confidence issues, so I could look into that, too.
I'm just thinking, "If I'm going to do this, I want to do it properly and give myself the best chance of success that I can from the offset".
But before I jump right in like a bull in a china shop, I just thought I'd ask some of you professionals on your advice or personal experiences first? Am I wasting my time?? All comments are much appreciated!
Thank you.
