Long time, first time

Hey there ladies. I'm a long time lurker and fan and thought it was about time to out myself.

I'm a 20 year old college student living in Los Angeles and am definitely entertaining the idea of dancing. I'm pretty goofy and reserved in "real life" but I love dancing, my body, and seedy dive bars. Hopefully one day I'll get the chance to see if I have what it takes to be a good dancer.

The things that are keeping me from dancing thus far are...

age: I'm only 20 (21 in a few months) and would much rather start out dancing in a bikini bar or topless (where I think you have to be 21). I think that if my parents ever were to find out, those would be a lot easier to swallow than the idea of their daughter showing ALL the goods.

friend family reactions: I once jokingly told my mom I was going to do an amatuer night to try and make rent. She told me it was a good idea and that I had the body for it

. So not the reaction I was expecting. I've run the idea past my boyfriend and roomate and they are actually pretty supportive. I have the feeling that everyone thinks I' joking though, and I wonder how they'd react if I really went through with it.

afraid it will come back to kick me in the ass

location: I've heard nothing but negative things about dancing in Los Angeles

. I'm stuck in the area though, so hopefully I can find something that suits me. I'm not looking to make mega bucks or looking to be discovered or anything. My father, who I'm pretty sure is a frequenter of strip clubs, also works in the area. I think I would die if he walked into a strip club while I was working. I could try working far away, but I imagine he'd be trying to be discreet as I was and would choose a club far away too.

White girl can't dance.

And I can't do the splits

While I'm biding my time I'm taking some pole dancing classes downtown so that when I do make the jump I'll be able to bust some moves.

Sorry for the novel guys!
