Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum but not new to lurking it.Therefore, I hope I'm posting this in the right section ..
I've been dancing for 3 1/2 years now. I'm 23 so I started young-ish. When I first started, I wore the typical 'dancer' outfit: the heels, the gowns (depending on the place), etc
A little later into my 3rd year I developed a pretty bad foot injury and couldn't wear those heels anymore. I stopped going to the upscale club I was going to and decided to check out a dive and see if I could get away with wearing flats. What was originally going to be a temporary thing turned into a full blown niche.
The 'dive' accepted me and I basically said "eff it" and started channeling my southern roots .. ha! I wore various cowboy boots and tie up flannels. Various outfits I've created myself and bought. Super cut-off shorts and stripped down to lacey white panties. I danced / dance to strictly country and I'm super into it. I've been at this club since and working at others along the coast and I'll tell you - we don't get the typical redneck crowd. I make more than I ever made before, and people come to the club for the 'country girl.' Its awesome because I feel much more comfortable of course; but I'm also happier and more confident. I think it shows.
I've decided to start traveling around different areas of the states later this year.. not for dancing, just because I love to travel. The only thing is, I'm not sure what other clubs during my nomad adventures would be okay with what I have going. I've worked at several places with it with no problem, but I almost guarantee that I'd have a problem in a place like New York City or Vegas. One of the things that made me ask, is because I do have a friend across in LA who has her own niche as well that's not your average dancer look who has worked in Vegas and NOLA.
Should I pack up the old outfits / shoes and bring them along with me? Leave my niche behind? Bring both styles and ask a club just in case if they'll let me perform the way I normally do? I've read that the bigger clubs in Vegas pretty much play whatever they want - which obviously wouldn't work well for me. Any advice on my odd question is appreciate.
For the record: I'm 5'3 1/2. 110 pounds, blonde hair. Large naturals with a pretty athletic body type.



Therefore, I hope I'm posting this in the right section ..
