    Default Knee Cracking!

    okay, I've basically had this my entire life, but when I bend down my knees crack! It's highly unattractive, and people who are around me usually grimace or comment "that must have hurt! ect." It sounds worse the more I've been standing - sometimes I seriously think it must echo! lol. Sometimes they don't crack if I bend down beforehand but that doesn't always work. I'm wondering if anyone has any similar problems or advice. Do you guys think that this will affect my money making?

    no one will be able to hear it inside the club with the music playing. also, they don't give a damn if your knees crack. there's 100 other things they're paying attention to. my knees crack and make horrible "crunching" noise whenever i bend or extend them. mine are LOUD and no customer has ever noticed or said anything.

    btw.. your knees will get worse as you dance. :/

    Pretty Penny is right your knees do get worse as you keep dancing. Its just part of the job. I mean I would suggest taking a glucosamine chondroitin MSM supplement. Its one big ass pill but helps lubricate the joints. Take about 5 weeks to start working. Trying to be the best you can to your body will help you last longer in this business.

    My knees cracked alot on stage. I would just smile and say "no it doesnt hurt" and keep dancing. Besides, if they are men they arent focused on your knees.

    Due to intense ballet raining my knees have been cracking since I was a teen. My toes crack too and sometimes my hips..... I take the suggested supplements to be of the safe side but I don't think they do anything.... I still crack and pop all the time.... I could never sneak up on anyone that is for sure , lol!

    Oh crap, I totally forgot about that! I danced for 5 years and had it through most of that time, but it's gone away since I retired almost 2 years ago.

    You usually can't hear it on stage, but it can be a little embarrasing in a CR or during dances, since those areas are more away from loudest music.

    Yes, my knees pop/crack like crazy!! It doesn't hurt, but it does occasionally freak me out because I'm wondering what exactly is going on in there!! Haha. I started taking glucosomine awhile ago, so I'll see if anything improves.. It is embarrassing when I crouch down on stage and they pop so loud I worry that everyone heard..

    Yea, I don't even notice it on stage because the music is loud--but while doing dances, my body will make crackly noises that are really loud. I know the customer can hear them, but I have never had anyone comment.

    UGH you guys are making me want to quit. I started 3 weeks ago and I'm limping from the immense pain in my left knee. The first week it was my right knee, then it was both for a few days, then the past 2 weeks it's been my left knee. It only starts to feel better when I have about 3 days off in a row, then I dance again and mess it up, UGH! I have always had bad knees (runs in the family and I'm a horseback rider). I'm going to start wearing a knee brace everyday at my day job.
