    Default What made you start dancing?

    What was the reason you started dancing? My car recently got repossessed since I haven't been able to find "vanilla" work. I need money quick to get it back and can literally walk there so hopefully this works out for me. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar crazy situation they needed to get out of fast that dancing helped with?

    Aside from money, I liked that I could come and go as I please and have the time to take care of myself. Vanilla jobs can make it so hard to just take care of yourself and health and are too much of a daily grind for me and cause too much stress. With stripping, if I need to rest, I can. If I am going through a tough time, I can take time off. Basically, FREEDOM to do whats good FOR ME. Obviously there are negatives to stripping, but the benefits outweigh the negatives for me.

    I was always curious about strip clubs and strippers. I knew I always wanted to try it. My ex was demanding that I find a job since my normal babysitting gigs were not panning out. I figured I would try it out. I never looked back.

    Same as arielbriel, I was basically planning to when I was 17. I was terrible at it as an 18 year old; too shy to talk to anyone.
    Worked a series of crappy vanilla jobs but always had in the back of my head that I could be a stripper instead. I danced on and off from 19-22, mostly for whenever I needed spending cash.

    I went full-time 3 years ago. I was a student living with my ex & mentally checked out of the relationship, but it would have been hard to leave with no money.
    Then my current SO reappeared; we had a huge thing for each other for years and it was kind of a now-or-never situation, so I broke my relationship off. Lived in my friends guest room and started dancing a bit more seriously. After 2 months, she needed her room, SO also needed somewhere to live, so it became my actual job I treated like one & we got an apartment together. It was GREAT to be able to come up with the security deposit & rent with like 10 days notice.

    So yeah, wasn't an emergency situation, but definitely allowed me to do what I wanted to do. We are still together now & I have dancing to thank for it partly. I don't know how long I would have stayed in my prior relationship otherwise.

    Philanthropy. Because what other reason could there be? Surely not money?!

    I wanted to get my first apartment, but couldn't afford it with a part time job plus college. Also, my boyfriend had attempted suicide and that made me completely stop caring about the consequences of working at a strip club. I just went ahead and applied to be a cocktail waitress, then started stripping a month later.

    I left after a couple years, then some time passed, and last year I got out of another really bad relationship. I had quit my well-paying vanilla job and wasn't mentally ready for another fulltime high-stress job, so I eventually ran out of money and had a crazy expensive hospital bill. Started stripping again.

    I was thankful the option was there when I needed it.

    Yes, I forgot to add tuition. Boyfriend says to just get loans. Why get loans when I could have the ability to pay myself?

    Pure desperation. My day job wasn't going anywhere (largely in part to me getting into a big fight with one of my bosses) one of my parents was sick and I wasn't making enough to keep up with the insane cost of living in my region.

    Oh & I wrecked my car right before I started....Not on purpose. At that point I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    Which is exactly what happened. The adult industry was the best thing to happen to me.

    I couldn't find a job in my field that paid well, and I was broke. Dancing was great for me in so many ways.

    I had always been curious about the industry. I'm a hair stylist and I did a couple dancers hair reguarly. We talked about their job and one of them convinced me to give it a try! I love it! I started doing parties first then moved into clubs

    Honestly, I watched America's Got Talent and saw an amazing male pole dancer on it. I decided I wanted to learn how to pole dance and I bought a groupon. I never used the groupon and instead auditioned at a club. I started making money and I loved it! It was only a month after my 18th birthday.
