Hey guys.

I like to think I'm a nice girl, really. I'm generally patient, nice, and understanding.

But I've come to a decision.

I'm really, really tired of politely answering the same goddamned questions over and over and overI understand that dancing is something most people have had no real contact with or understanding of. I get that. That's

What do you think of the recent trendiness of stripping-themed workout books/videos/classes? Have they led to more amateurs thinking they can do your job better than you? If you've actually read/watched any of them, do you think they're actually any good?

Honestly? I think it's just a way for people to charge more for basic cardio =P And yeah, some women do labor under the delusion that one Carmen Electra 'striptease' video makes them the bestest strippar evar!!!1

I have watched several of the videos and researched the classes. They are an excellent source of exercise, packaged differently to appeal to those bored with traditional exercise, and I do support that. Not enough people do enough these days to stay healthy :(

No questions. Just wanted to say I LOVE your blog. One of the more entertaining out there. I babysat for a dancer when I was in high school, and to think she had to put up with this type of behavior...geez.

Aww, well thank you ^.^

Reading your journal has both opened my mind to just how fun dancing can be, as well as made me laugh more than a few times in the morning. You make me want to give it a try. :D

Glad to spread the smiles :)

It never freaks me out :) I just chalk it up to generosity and thank the customer profusely. I could see it freaking out a girl because most of the time, if a guy tips like that, it's because he wants something other than dancing.

And thank you ^.^ I'm happy to share.

I have been reading this journal for awhile because you write really well and I have had friends in the industry. I am just shocked and amazed at what people assume when they hear about particular occupation and go an make judgments. Do what you love is what I think, and if you love it, be damn the rest of the world! So keep writing!
