    Smiley I finaly did it!

    So, after months of researching, over analyzing, etc I decided to just give it a try already. How else would I really be able to tell if dancing is for me? I mentioned getting hired/getting my lisence a few weeks ago...but actually starting was not such a cake walk...
    My friend (who has been dancing for 4 years) practically had to hold my hand for the first part of the night...lol. We were getting ready in the dressing room on the first night and I was soooo nervous. Once I did my hair and make-up and put on my out fit, I looked in the mirror and I was almost surprised at how much I had made myself look the part. Still, I was nervous about my first time on stage, first private dance, first strange proposition, etc. I was mostly nervous about the other girls working judging me. The girls ended up being super nice! Some of them were trying to show me some simple pole tricks in the back room, but I just could not bring myself to try them infront of people. My friend recognized some customers, so we started talking to them. She told them I was new, and one of them bought me a drink to loosen me up. He was really, really sweet and attractive and he made me feel much more at ease. Then my friend did a private dance for me to show me what to do. After a little alcohol (not too much, I wouldn't want to fall!) I finaly told the dj that he could put my name on the rotation. So the first time I went up...not bad but I was really stiff. I think the cute boy/my friend/and others dancers watching made me nervous. Then I was walking around for tips which I felt awkward doing...and a lot of the guys were giving me positive feedback...and when I would tell them it was my first night some didn't believe me! Right away a guy bought his friend a dance from me and told me that his friend thought I was the prettiest girl in the club. I know every girl has a unique look/style and some will like me and some won't...so it was nice to meet someone who did right away. So from there, everything was great! The next time I went on stage, I had no inhibitions. I actually love it!! When they call my name, I get excitied because I enjoy being able to express myself. I like doing the private dances too! I had a few customers tell me they would pay for a dance but I didn't really have to give them one...but I told them I wanted to because I enjoyed it and would like the practice. Of course there were a few times where I felt a little awkward and just walked back into the dressing room to regroup...and their were a few instances of men trying to grope me, ask me on dates, etc. But for the most part, it was a good experience. On the second night I dodn't have to drink to dance...I was already comfortable enough to just get up there and be myself. (My past cheerleading/dance experience helps). Oh, and the dj called me up to the booth and asked me how he was doing with music and all and he said, "I know you are a rookie, but you already have a presence on stage." Not only that, but some of the dancers complimented me on how well I did for being the new girl! Oh, and I made $500 over my first two days which I was happy with. I am actually looking forward to going back this weekend!!
    Thank you to all of you who have posted good questions/advice and those who have shared words of encouragement. I am still a rookie but I am one of you now!
    Have a great week!
    XOXO,
